A 8. Yes, I wanted to ask about the plate, when I saw the pic with the Camaro first. |

Seems that they have used two different cars. (See the little quattro logo on the 2nd thumbnail). |

Good point Garco. Yes, they used two different A8 models (although they have the same plate AA-26). In the main picture you can see a 2005+ model, with the large Single-Frame grille. On the other hand, in the 2nd thumbnail we can see a 2003 model, the previous one with the "normal" grille. So according to the main pic, the year must be changed as 2005 Audi A8 D3 |

Ah, according to the first thumbnail, that still shows the 2005 model, that's a 3.2 FSI quattro. So 2005 Audi A8 3.2 FSI quattro |

So the Royal family of the Netherlands usually drives Audi? @walter: the Royal family of Liechtenstein uses Audi since decades. They started with Horch as first and kept their relations to the company until today. I read this once in the magazine of the AMAG, the Swiss importer. |

Usually they use Volvos, but they do have some Audis, Fords and other cars. Until recentley most casr of the Royal court were Fords and Lincolns, some converted by Colman Milne. But since Ford stopped production in Amsterdam there was no need to stay with this make. Then Volvo took over Daf and that's the reason they moved to Volvo. |
