I find it so odd that you could buy the Passat with an Audi V6 from the A6 when VW had their own VR6 with almost identical power output.

I like the v5! I think it did about 170hp, but high emissions so high tax. 

@vaughant

Hey each to their own I suppose 😀😀😀, I just thought if they've made all that effort to convert the car, get something that can be easily tuned, but then it's not my car. 

I always felt VW should have put a turbo on the 8v engine rather than the 16v route.

I know they supercharged the G60 but sadly they never sold  it over here in RHD form from memory. Rallye was a pretty thing but very expensive and again LHD.

The chassis could have easily handled a nice 150/160bhp turbo with room to tune it up a bit more. 

Always felt that was their main drawback against the other turbo hot hatches of the day which were infinitely tuneable, my little Uno Turbo seemed so much quicker than the MK1 GTi I had after it, although not as well put together.

To be honest, even the 16v felt slower than a Vauxhall 8v and no match for the 16v XE models.

£850 for an old Transit with no MOT that needs welding? What's to like about that?

Isn't it compulsory to tag  @RayMK when these are mentioned?

Thanks. I had already seen it. No mention of the all important chassis condition or the state of the coachbuilt body (mostly aluminium with wooden framework but it looks restorable. The price is fair.  Mine is a 1961 Regal MKVI - well into the fibreglass bodied phase of three wheeler production which came a couple of MKs earlier, although mine is still coachbuilt.  The fully fibreglass bodies came next with the OHV engined Regals.  I'm probably going to sell mine. Not sure when. Maybe this year. I have been saying that for the last four years.

But the Passats had them inline like the Audi, whereas the VR6 was mounted transversley in all the stuff it was fitted in. I think so anyway. There may exceptions to this rule but it was probably easier to transplant the Audi V6 than to turn the VR6 round. That's my theory anyway.

The VR6 is mounted inline in the Touareg / Cayenne and early Phaeton.

Okay, well that blows that theory out of the water doesn't it? I'm sure VW had their reasons but perhaps we'll never know.

BTW I completely believe  that this did belong to the ex Spurs/England forward, because its too crap an association for anyone to have invented. £2.5k seems pretty reasonable for one of these too, even if it looks like Apollo Creed's boxing trunks.

B5 Passat was very much an Audi chassis. They had the Audi split upper wishbone on the front. 

B6 looks much more like an upscaled Golf.
