The Iconic Sale at Silverstone Festival 2024 Collectors’ Cars 148 Registration: WO04 XGY Chassis No.: WAUZZZ4B14N099785 Estimate: £30,000 - £40,000 Specialist: Harry Whale Telephone No: 07919 887374 Lot 438 2004 Audi A6 All-Road 4.2 V8 - ex- HRH Prince Aga Kahn His Royal Highness Prince Aga Khan (Prince Shah Karim al-Husseini, Aga Khan IV) is renowned for his taste in bespoke Audis and his metallic blue Quattro Sport is an Audi Legend. This particular car started as the rare 4.2 V8 Allroad Quattro of which only a handful were produced in right-hand drive. Producing around 300bhp and fitted with height-adjustable air suspension, it is a deceptively fast car to drive, indeed it’s hard to believe that the car is some 20 years old. This car was taken from the production line and sent to Quattro GmbH who handle special build requests, much like Porsche Special Wishes dept. It was painted in Prince Aga Khan Green, a rich verdant dark green reserved for all his cars and the Recaro interior was trimmed in Audi Exclusive Fine Nappa (Cricket Beige) hides with matching green piping. Exclusive carpets in green were covered with matching overmats bound in beige leather and an Alcantara headlining completed this extraordinary interior. Unsurprisingly it was fitted with just about every option including Bose stereo, memory seats, Navigation Plus, heated seats front and rear, solar sunroof (to power ventilation when parked), folding tow bar, TV, Quattro GmbH alloy wheels, side window blinds etc. A printout of the build sheet with the specification is supplied in the history file. The car was kept at his Gilltown Stud in Ireland for use by HRH when visiting. Having covered a mere 26,500 miles from new, it has been kept in exceptional condition and the service book contains a scarcely believable 17 main dealer stamps. The car will be serviced by Basingstoke Audi before the auction. This is a unique and extraordinary car that is both collectible and highly useable. Formerly the property of His Royal Highness Prince Aga Khan and kept in Ireland for his sole use. A bespoke build with a unique specification. More Details Lot 438 Bid On Lot 438
