It's that red one again, Hovis, as Teresa informed me. The reason I bought my FSI, in 2019.
Although, at the time, Mike ( @a2sumo ) advised me to avoid the FSI. I'm glad I didn't take his advice.

Hi all, what a fantastic show today, whilst looking on YouTube this evening for any uploaded footage from today, I've found this from last year someone posted, I think you'll find it interesting somewhere around 2:50 minutes in

Just managed to upload my pics from Sunday to my PC. That was a very enjoyable day, great to see friends again (aluminium and human 
) and to meet new A2OC members @Pechorin and @Papa Fez. Quite a few people came up to our stand to talk about A2's, there seems to be quite a buzz about them now, at least in VAG circles. Here are a few automotive highlights from the day not already pictured (in other posts here, or that I haven't already taken photos of in previous years) ...
The lady that owns this 1976 Jurgens Autovilla camper, imported from South Africa, is actually living in it full-time with her other half, two years and counting! It's lovely inside, varnished wooden plank ceiling, tiny (expensive!) woodburner stove, and that roofrack is a work of art! She said they get even more attention in this than they did in a VW Type I Samba bus they previously had for the shows.
A few of us wandered down to the Split-screen section just before close of play, and saw this wonderful combo amidst all the very evocative noise and smell of flat-4 air-cooled engines starting up and running on the choke. The trailer is a fantastic job, the roof is a couple of Mini roofs welded together, with various panels from VW Type I/II in the body. It was originally built in white and blue to go with a V8 hotrod based on the original Ford Anglia, and resprayed when the camper came along.

Hello Ian,
Looks like we missed a cracking day out there, we all enjoyed it last year. Always another time though. Glad the weather held out.
I like the freshly painted JR door mirror covers on Jeremy’s BB A2.
Kind regards,
Tom

They're a very good match for the 'Legends' orange highlights on his steering wheel, certainly works well from inside
The bonnet vent is next up for paint. Maybe planting the seed of an idea here, but I wonder if anyone does a leather paint in a similar shade, to get the red Sports seats and armrests to match too? That would look wicked against the black interior.

Haha,
It’s a great paint job, they were painted at the same time as mine and the front bumper. I should be helping out with the bonnet vent soon enough once work slows a little.
I agree that some of the leather parts could be refreshed in a Legends colour, would look outstanding indeed. I know Furniture clinic offer a colour match service.
Jez @sciroccorrado what do you think?
Kind regards,
Tom
