She has been a real dark horse, more unassuming than an out and out sports car, but far more comfortable, spacious and every bit as fast, especially having been MRC tuned (ask for details).
The car started life as one of Audi UK’s demonstrators and has pretty much all of the options then available. Only thing missing is the AMI. With a full service history (Audi for first few years, then independents) the car has always been well maintained. For a reason Audi refuse to disclose, a new engine was fitted 29k into the car’s life so at their expense so, although 112k has been covered, the engine has run for 83k.
The car had a new MOT and oil service in March and I have recently replaced the two front tyres (matching Goodyear Eagle F1 as on the rear). the brakes were checked OK at that time.
The car is in very good condition. 24 months ago two new front wings were fitted, courtesy of Audi’s anti corrosion policy as a couple of small rust spots had developed on the wheel arches and shortly after I had bonnet and bumper resprayed to sort out some stone chips. All in Phantom Black metallic.

MRC tuned at 50k miles - has run without a hiccup. Ask for details and dynoplot.
Spark plugs changed at 90k. Always run on super unleaded.
To be honest I have never driven anywhere close to the car’s potential. Not sure why I went for ‘full monty’ tuning as it is far more than needed on UK roads (OK I am a sad old sixty something) but it is great to know there is always plenty in reserve to make rapid progress and overtaking so much easier.
It is in very good condition and runs very well, but it is a 12 year old car so there are a few minor marks, stone chips here and there. A few more photos available if needed.
Car is based near Glastonbury, Somerset.
