great model for the price, i paid 65€ and that was not with any discount or on sale. the stance was a little dragster like, with the rear sitting a bit too high compared to the front. so i had it taken aparts to adjust the rear stance. while having it taken apart, i also painted the brake calipers black, and sanded the disc brakes to simulate wear.
while it was taken apart, i also discovered a few more details i didnt notice at first.

• working suspension
• sun roof can be covered with a lid from the inside
• the front seats is adjustable, moves back and forth
• the trunk hides a spare wheel

That looks great and for what they cost it is definitely great value. Great job on lowering it too, she sits nicely now.

I've always been a fan of the Phaeton, It's probably the most understated of all the big luxurious saloons.

We dont see this model often but it really looks quality, coverable sunroof is a nice detail too!

On e of the greatest cars Volkswagen ever made. This looks like a great model indeed. Thanks for sharing it. I believe the engine for this car was derived from the W12 Nardo?

i dont know about the engine being related to the Nardo, but i read somewhere the 6.0 W12 is shared between Bentley

Congrats one the Phaeton Alex!

Very nice work fixing those issues, you can see the difference from stock!
