Congratulations to Paul - there was a lot of work done to get the car to this stage - well done.

Hi guys,
Firstly, its a 1989 S4 auto not a 1987, sorry about that.
Pictures of car have been requested and will be posted when to hand as well as Paul's photograph with Trophy. Car has been fully restored, as delivered from the factory and in my opinion it is better.

Congrats Paul, way to represent!

I wish there were concours events in my area. The local PCA only seems interested in autocross.

I think the 928 has more beauty potential than a 911 type, but winning a concourse says more about the owner than the car, its personal effort.

Let's remember its Concours (from the French 'Concours d'Elegance') - not Concourse (unless it's held in an Airport).

Nice win! We can do with more 928 Concours wins...
