I doubt that Audi would be willing to spend the sort of money that network
TV advertising comes to to show images of Morgans. I've seen the same ad
and tho I can only recognize the pre-war silver arrows (V16s?? driven by
the likes of Rudi C.) that also appear in that ad, I'll wager that what you
saw was some OTHER Audi (or, rather, Auto Union) model from days long gone
by. This doesn't mean that they didn't copy the Morgan, however (!)
