A bit of Tipp-ex on that chip and it'd be perfect...
This week's Shed is a bargain-basement affair even by our usual deeply subterranean standards. For a little more than a monkey, this Audi 200 - the upmarket version of that pioneer of 1980s aero-chic the Audi 100 - could be sitting proudly on your driveway.
For your money, you'll get 2.1-litres-worth of characterful, turbocharged in-line five. Assuming that not too many horses have bolted from beneath that determinedly flat Kraftwerk-minimalist bonnet, this should translate to 180bhp, a theoretical 0-60mph time of 8.2sec and an equally theoretical top speed of 143mph.
Not the best interior shot we've ever seen...
Okay, so it's wrong-wheel drive rather than all-wheel drive and there's an automatic gearbox present to frustrate your progress but, whichever way you cut it, that's a lot of performance for your money - especially in such a large car.
Oh, and there's one other slight 'quirk' to this particular machine. We were so intrigued by this 107k motor that we gave the vendor a bell to find out a bit more. As the advert says, he's owned it for 20 years so it would be reasonable to think he must have a whiole wad of bills and general history to go with it. Hmm... Turns out our Audi 200 man is a farmer, and the 200 Turbo's servicing and mechanical work has been done by one of the chaps who works down on the farm.
Which, we have to say, did put us chickens off a bit. Still, it's perfectly possible that said horny-handed son of toil is an expert in Massey Fergusons, Case New Holland combines and, er, turbocharged Audis.
So if you're feeling braver than us and fancy a punt on an agriculturally-maintained Ingolstadt cruiser, check out the full advert below.
