Asking £10,750 for:
2003 RS 6 Avant. Missano Red with Ivory Leather and Carbon Fibre Trim.
I've tried to be very honest and accurate in the below, detailing every minor imperfection so you have a good idea of what to expect.
This has been a very pampered car.
85k miles and full service history (summarised at the bottom).
The paintwork is near-perfect with only 2 or 3 very small stone-chips to the front of the car and has been treated to regular detailing and protection sessions. The orangey flake in the paint really pops in the sunshine.
The wheels have been refurbished and are still perfect.
The leather is in excellent condition with regular cleaning and feeding using the excellent Gliptone products.
There is a small area of wear on the interior grab-handles on the 2 front doors where the rubber-type coating has started to peel. Many people simply peel off the remaining covering to leave a gloss black finish, but I have left it alone.
There is also a few marks on the 'track skip forward' button from fingernails, but not worn through the black coating.
The rest of the interior is excellent.
I've managed to upload a few pics (below) and I hope this link https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dqy0dk4fy36o ... i_Loa?dl=0 allows you to view some more I've taken.
Just ask if you want pics of anything else.
The pics were hurriedly taken between rain-showers and the dull day doesn't really do the car justice. It looks fantastic in the metal.
...and trying to be 'arty' (but clearly hasn't worked!)
The only thing that I can think of which needs attention at the moment are the rear parking sensors. Sometimes they beep when you are nowhere near anything. Turning them off and using your eyes seems to be a workable solution to this problem though, but I will get them replaced during the next service in the summer.
Tyres are pretty new with a few thousand miles on them and I always get a 4-wheel alignment done after fitting new tyres.
It has a tracker fitted and I've got all the details should you wish to re-start the monitoring service subscription.
It also has an iPod connection fitted to the OEM RNS-D system. The iPod lives in the glovebox (older style wide connector, not the new 'lightning' connection type) and you can control it all from the head-unit.
I've fitted a new GPS antenna as the OEM one started being lazy and not bothering to connect to satellites. It now works perfectly.
It's been serviced on-time, every time with the key items (gearbox oil and filter changed, DRC removed and H&R adjustable coilovers fitted, cam-belt and all other tensioners, rollers, waterpump etc all having been dealt with).
It hasn't been messed about with and mapped. It even has the standard exhaust to make it a little less 'shouty' and as understated as a large, red, V8 Estate car can be!
The main service history is below. I haven't included any of the myriad of 'small' jobs that I've had done (things like new tyres, wiper blades and the-like).
Myself and the owner I bought it from have kept all invoices and MOTs etc to back this up. Prior to that, I've just got the relevant stamps in the service book.
This is a wonderful car and I'd like it to go to somebody who will look after it as well as I have.

Test-drives are welcome (I'm based just outside Gloucester) but I will need to see verifiable proof that you are insured to drive this car beforehand.
