Hi Guys, Due to the constant complaints from the wife to make some space I am sadly selling the car. (see my thread 'Wolf in Sheep's clothing) So, the complete car with all & any parts accumulated, £1,100 ono The car turns over but won't start due to a seized petrol pump, and has done 120,000 miles, I have owned the car since 2004 It had been laid up in a barn for the last five years, but is in very good condition and will need light commissioning 1) It Needs: Possibly a Petrol tank, & certainly a new Pump. 2) The Brake pads need doing, as they are removed to prevent binding due to standing 3) New Cat required, though I have found some cheap aftermarket ones, for around £120. 4) New Radiator (The old one has had it) 5) Aircon re-gas The car will need trailering away, & I am one mile from Juct 18 M1 The car is a 2.8 Quattro bought in Germany, and has (according to Audi UK) a 265bhp engine (See my posts; 'Wolf in Sheep's clothing') It is a very rare and £3000 option colour Metallic Cream Xenon Lights (original factory fitted) plus all options available including extra long reach drivers seat Spare parts include new track rods (One side fitted) and spare winter wheels & some tyres

Off my year 2000 X Reg Roadster which was 8 months old when it was stolen. This is all I was left with so it has hardly been used Asking £125

I have a hood cover from my old from my old Year 2000 X reg Roadster which was stolen after 8 months of ownership. So was hardly used Asking £125 call 07713 077007

This car really is a Wolf in Sheeps Clothes... Long story shortish, I bought my A6 2.8 Quattro, from a Brit who lived in Darmstad, Deutchland in 2005, as I wanted a Left Hooker to take out to Greece where I keep my boat, to use as a general runaround for when I was in port. When I got it, I found that it wiped the floor with my current car, at that time, which was a BMW 525 (and was no slouch) After lots of adventures in Greece, I brought it home and registered it here in the UK. As part of the DVLA reg's I had to get a certificate from Audi Milton Keynes (UK Head office) which told me that the Engine is 266BHP unlike the UK standard of 193BHP So it has 73HP more than any UK reg equivalent. After storing it for 3 years under cover, it wouldn't start and I eventually found that the petrol pump in the tank was the culprit, and I gave it to a friendly mechanic to sort out early last year When I went back to get the car, the Catalytic Converter had been stolen. Though these are available for around 120 pounds The brakes need doing and the petrol pump too But this will be a surefire Classic and very easy project. I can't do it as I am going to winter abroad. The list of Extras is endless and include: Xenon lights (The first model with that option) Heated seats Aircon Top Stereo Connected Nokia (Inc phone) Alcantara & Leather seats Cruise control Extra long drivers reach Unique Metallic Cream/White paintwork, with no rust on the body. Winter wheels x 4 I'm open to offers around £2,500

Points taken. I'll advertise for a good home and a few pounds for it's rare breeding

Thanks for the succinct reply Gareth. What do you think I should ask for it in it's present condition, and would it be worth considering breaking it? As I do have the space here (Though the other half will moan if there is mess anywhere) Regards George

Thanks for your reply Steve, The trouble is that I have the following collection of random cars and I'm not sure that I can find a useful, and usable place for this one....except, it might just be a classic one day and I have lots of space( I live on a Farm) & sweet bugger all to do in the coming winter. Jaguar XF 3 Litre V6 Estate: Used every day, and it has everything you need in a car VW Camper: Only 2 years old which is as long as it has taken us to build, and still haven't used for camping, because of the wretched lockdown. Maserati 4200 Spyder: Up on axle stands and covered up, as I'm sure this will be a classic soon (Belongs to the wife too) Toyota MR2 Mk2: Was my Son's, and was planning to bring this up to scratch next, as like the Maser, I think these will be a classic Vauxhall Zafira: We call this the junk car, as it is mainly used for ferrying stuff around So, The Jag outperforms the Audi in every way (well it would as it's 20 years newer), and the only reason to keep it really, is it's possible value in years to come. Will the Purists rate this model like the early Quattro's? Can I justify spending £3000 on it? As I could probably find a tidy one for that anyway. I did however see one on Cars and Classics for sale at £9000 recently, but it was probably Concours condition 1) It Needs: Petrol tank & Pump. (The old one has rusted inside as I didn't seal the tank back after taking the pump out) and apparently, the fitting requires the whole rear drive unit to be removed as the tank straddles the propshaft 2) The whole braking system needs doing. 3) New Cat required, though I have found some cheap aftermarket ones, for around £120. Maybe get a complete new exhaust 4) New Radiator (The old one has had it) 5) Aircon repair Other than that she would be good plus I get a bit sentimental about cars that have been trouble free and given rally good service and shared adventures.

Hi Guys, A bit of advice please........ Long story shortish, I bought my A6 2.8 Quattro, from a Brit who lived in Darmstad, Deutchland in 2005, as I wanted a Left Hooker to take out to Greece where I keep my boat, to use as a general runaround for when I was in port. When I got it, I found that it wiped the floor with my current car, at that time which was a Beemer 525 (which was no slouch) I kept it on German Export plates until it was seized from a mate who had borrowed it for half an hour, by the Greek police. So, I had to fly out and rescue it (By paying a 1500 Euro bribe) had 24 hrs to get the hell out of Greece with it, and brought it home, and registered it here. As soon as it was re-registered, I took her back to Greece, Driving through Germany on the de-restricted Autobahn at speeds of 160mph was a literal blast. So, after using it for the next 12 years (And boy, did we enjoy driving it around the Pelloponese Mountain roads, which are in fantastic order, and put ours to shame) I finally brought her home after sliding into a, rain off area, on a mountain, and bending the track rods. - I bent them back into shape and drove home, and now have new ones fitted. That's when it got interesting! To register it with DVLA, I had to have paperwork from Audi who sent me the enclosed letter, explaining that German cars had a much more powerful engine (266 bhp) than those designated for us plucky brits (204bhp. I got that from Audi M.Keynes) I'm sure you wise ones know this, but after the initial surprise, I realised that it explained all of that extra power............. So, to the present dilemma. After storing it for 3 years under cover, it wouldn't start and I eventually found that the petrol pump in the tank was the culprit, and, having given it to my friendly mechanic to sort out early last year When I went back to get the car, the Catalytic Converter had been stolen. and the estimate for getting her back on the road was in excess of £3000 if I left it with them! So. Should I break the car (And my Heart, as I really love her) Sell her as a project, If so how much Bite the bullet, and do her up. (She has NO rust at all and is a special colour (Metallic Creamy white) and has every extra known at that time Advice please would be welcomed. Pix below.
