Agree with the above. The club received similar comments from passers by at this years Kimbolton classic car and country fayre show.
It isn’t hard to understand why as it looks so modern by today’s standards, a testament to the innovation, design and execution of the car. Audi living up to its Vorsprung durch Technik philosophy in the fullest sense.
I guess people can be forgiven for not accepting it as conforming to the typical stereotype of a classic car for this reason. This in part is my rationale for resisting the urge to get an A2 plate this time around. I’m proud of my 54 plate (near 16 year old) ‘classic’.
As an FSI owner, I’m encouraged by the possibilities that the most maligned A2 may become a desirable commodity in the future. That said, I’m more encouraged that the A2 is recognised more often than not as a classic, regardless of specification or horse at the front.
These encouraging nods by the press, reciting what we have known for years, bodes well. Time for us all to toast to A2 ownership, a classic car that delivers quality, comfort, exceptional build and innovation in a retro package and one that still puts many of its modern day competitors to shame in doing so.
