Wow, what a wonderful opportunity for someone! Get ripped off for only £51,995 to acquire this magnificent and very, very rare car! It's got a black badge on the bonnet which makes it very, very rare and worth so much more than any other cooking S4.

Oh, and not one photo of the very, very rare black badge engine.

Me cynical? Surely not.

Saw this at the NEC Show a couple of weeks ago.
Very average condition with lots of non-standard features, especially the position of the front indicator repeaters.
Not a good buy, even with a £30,000 discount (but add £75 for the black badge).

Well a standard yellow/green badge would look simply awful against those lovely black bumpers. :wink:

Surely the car is worth the asking price. It is being sold by Kim Cairns, a car dealer, whoever she is :roll:

Kim Cairns is a car dealer in North Norfolk, close to Snettisham from memory. 30+ years ago when we lived in that area he had a good reputation, but times and people change.

At that price I did wonder what value was added by having all the original paperwork including its service book, any guesses?

He is certainly trying my patience.

The glovebox doesn't look to be a wood veneer as it is black. Was this an option on the S4, or something only found on the rare Black Badge cars
