  Remember when 1 August meant just one thing? 1 Aug 2013 (News)
  The trade no longer enjoyed the massive August rush, and persuaded the government to change the system in anticipation of the current system (AA51 ABC), due to arrive in 2001. The last S-, T-, V-, W-, X- and Y-registration cars lasted just six months on the market, as the date changed move to twice yearly - April and September. And with it, the magic really disappeared. These days, you don't get the same build-up in the weeks leading up to plate change - and it just sort of happens.

  Friday concept: Audi Quattro Spyder 7 Jun 2013 (News)
  In terms of engineering, the Quattro Spyder was relatively straightforward. Power was by the Audi 100's new 2.8-litre V6, and the transmission was a modified version of the quattro's all-wheel drive layout, meaning it would be unique on the market at the time for being a mid-engined 4x4. As for the body and chassis, it was a tubular steel affair, clad in aluminium panels, predicting Audi's subsequent obsession with the lightweight material.
