New RS6 Plus owner information please !!

Post by jds67 » Mon Jan 02, 2017 6:36 pm

Hello everyone, well I have finally taken the plunge and purchased a Plus.
It is reg LJ54 PLU in misano red believed to be 1 of 2 in the U.K.
I am looking for any information on this car if any of you know of it.
It has supposedly got an mrc stage 2 remap but I have seen any confirmation of this yet.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

Little to be honest, hence my information request. It has full Hatfield Audi history from day one until Oct 2010 43k, MRC 2011 with remap and milltek. FOSA mot history shows mot history from 2007-2013 53k. It then seems to have been sorn for 3 years but I am yet to confirm this. I was hoping someone on one of the forums may have known the car and could fill in some blanks for me.

Did you buy this privately from someone?? Sounds more like you bought it trade if you can't confirm what she has been up to since 2013, if so, then I hope the price was good. Looks nice from that one whole single pic you have spammed up ;). As Chunk said, he has the Misano/black look and it is pretty sexual.
Current:

23' C8 RS6 Vorsprung - 23' RS E-Tron GT Carbon Vorsprung

Gone:

"Brutus"- C5 RS6 Avant - MRC stage 2 - Milltek non-res + 100 cell cats - Wagner ICs - PSS9 - H&R ARBs - OZ Superturismo LM - C6 Custom brakes - HD RNS-E - Various other bits - 555PS/832Nm
"Taz"- C7 RS6 - MRC stage 2 745PS/1095Nm
12' Cayenne Turbo, B7 RS4, S3, Cupra R, XJR, EVO VII, STI8,5,2&WRX, 106 GTI&XSI, other crap.

I bought it private off a guy that has only owned it a short while. The previous owner supposedly had it sorn for three years which I am still to confirm, but I have checked the fosa mot history and everything checks out. The mot history shows every one from 2007-2013 then a gap to 2016 so I think it is all genuine. I was hoping that a previous owner may have been on one of the forums but it seems not as up to now no one seems to know the car.

Digger used to have a Misano Plus. I think he sold it around 2012-2013. He hasn't been around for a long time but may respond to a PM, you never know.

Also, that's almost certainly not the plate the car was sold with. The HPI report should list previous plates. Why don't you post those up?

It was registered new LJ54 PLU on 30/09/04 in London. At some stage it has been on LSS 5 but now back on the original number.
