hello,
   
   A friend of mine, who worked in London in 1990-1991, told me that there was a show room exposing MKIVs, at the intersection of Piccadilly street and Berkeley St... it is now an Audi show-room, right ?
   
   By any chance, does someone have some period pictures of this show-room ?
   
   many thanks !

Yes there were MkIVs displayed and it was in the Saab showroom. The Audi showroom is opposite the Ritz but I thought the Saab showroom was a bit further west by a few yards, perhaps where the Lexus showroom is now. I'm sure I remember a yellow MkIV on display.

thanks... I thought it was the car featured in the feb 2008 C&SC that was supposed to be the Piccadilly showroom car ?

   It doesn`t look very silver to me, so maybe there were more than 1? [;)]

thanks Nick ... but the pic is the one from the sales brochure, taken at Brooklands track, so it may not be the actual car that was exposed  ?
   
   Edit : and most of all, it's a lightweight on the picture [:I] !
