Rescuing the First Audi RS from a Field in Glastonbury - Will this Rare Classic Quattro Fire Up? Join Jonny Smith for a barnfind episode which is actually in a Somerset orchard, but the owner used to drive it daily in between his homes in Scotland and London. The car in question is an RS2 Avant - one of 2000 made in collaboration with Porsche - and when launched was the world's fastest estate car. It has sadly been off the road for a while, so Jonny called VAG expert Ricky Elder from RE Performance (https://reperformance.co.uk/) who twin turbos R8s and Lambos. Ricky is ex Audi master tech, so knows his way around the 315bhp 2.2-litre 5-cylinder turbo. Question is, can he resurrect this example, that's been owned by Maz for 25 years?
