LHD Audi A6 Avant on German plates, Prahran

[VR6child]

Saw a black Audi avant with a roof pod, assuming it was an A6, on the corner of Chapel St and High St Prahran this afternoon.

On closer inspection it was a left hooker with German plates!

Why would such a car be in Australia? Wonder if anyone else has seen it about. I am assuming it is due to someone from either the German or US army being posted out here, at least that is the only possible reason that I can think of.

A few months ago i saw a saab on swedish plates at Ikea. go figure

Also when dad worked at Audi China the road side assist car (an Audi A6 avant) had german plates but was quickly switched over to Chinese plates. So its not an uncommon thing for car companies to do.

we spotted this car a few weeks ago at phillip island!

pretty sure it was an A4 though.

The army reason is probably a decent guess, otherwise they might just be out there on holidays?? :S

had a couple kiddie seats in the back too..

Ahhh yesss. Matt, Josh, Jarred and myself saw this down at Cowes. Had an awsome kamei roof box. Kids seats and all.
