Just wanted to let you know about my stop gap 234,000 mile 855 TDI bought to allow me to carry out some work on my 855R.

I chanced my arm after 4 months ownership and put it in for MOT!!!!

To get it through I replaced the rear brake shoes and pads, front control arm, number plate and bulb. £100 of parts has now kept this car on the road for another 12 months.

These cars are truly awesome.

I will now be selling my 855R to make way for my 2015 le mans charity run car!!! Details to follow.
