Hey all new to this site!

The question is.....

Is this an investment?
Limited Edition Audi R8 - Hornby Visitor Centre

Well I hope so cos I have just purchased it!

What do you think?

My understanding is that each box will be numbered individually. It will be interesting to see which number i get. From what i can tell the only difference between this and the club car is the roof, but then thats why i got it, because only 201 people (max) will have the precise same car, so in a few years to come it may be worth a lot more.

I also cant honestly understand why people are paying such high prices on ebay for a car you can get when you pay the standard membership fee!

Blimey yeah, lucky i did really, well if it is sold that fast i guess it is now worth even more!!

I knew it was exactly the same as the club car, but for the die hard collector the different logo on the roof makes all the difference.

This one will be staying in its box, but when i renew my membership then the R8 in scalextric club livery will be making an appearance on the track.

I would have bought two but funds/wife wouldn't allow me to do it.

CB,

Thanks for all that info! Very interesting! Just out of interest as I am a bit of a collecting novice...do cars with lower value numbers or significant numbers such as 202 have an extra collect-ability?

I'll let you know what number I get! Also do you know how many were released online in the initial batch?

[Benjymo]

I'll keep you posted and let you know which one i got! (got ur pm)

The magazine Code doesn't work but if you received the update emails it had it in there and that is valid until June! I'll look it up later

 

[Benjymo]

I got no. 71 of 202

 

[Benjymo]

Bids are slowly gaining on eBay

 

[Benjymo]

Is that confirmed £200? how did you verify that?

 

[Benjymo]

Nice!
