Hi all,
So I've been clinging on to my S2, which I've owned for the majority of the past 17 years, but sadly the time to sell has come (we took a 4 year break in the middle, then I forgave her and took her back, lol).
She's been off the road in my garage for the last 8 months, was previously my daily driver but I replaced her when I took a job that required a 400 mile round trip commute. A lack of use and an imminent house move has now led to her being available. MOT till late September, i have today taxed and insured her so I can get her out and about again.
Body work is ok other than a dodgy repair that's now rusting through on the front passenger arch, a small dink in the front edge of the bonnet, and some damage to the front bumper (it needs a new one really)... paint looks ok as long as you stand a few feet away (though pretty good really given her age and use).
170k on the clock, although it's a little higher in reality as the odometer stopped working 2 years ago (I don't do much more than a few thousand miles a year in her though). Have just changed the faces on the dials and had a look at the odometer, cleaned up all the connections and it's now working. LCD display has bled, couldn't get a replacement so covered currently to stop it offending my eyes.
Mechanically sound, had a lot of work around 3 to 4 years ago, head refurbished, uprated head gasket, all new pipework, custom front crossmember and slightly bigger Intercooler. Also reconned the rear subframe and fitted new bushes all round.
Interior is good, black leather seats. Panelling retrimmed including headliner 4 years ago, at which point I custom installed a set of front recaros from an S3 (very comfy, and look good with the car). Door card trims are starting to come away, so they'll need re-glueing.
Brakes overhauled all round... new rear callipers, discs and handbrake cables 2 years ago. Fronts uprated to Porsche callipers, A8 discs, new hangers.... all under the original 3B wheels, which I believe is a bit of a rarity.
Has a modified ECU and is decatted, guess work puts it at around 250.
Got a few electrical gremlins, sunroof has stopped working and electric windows are intermittent. I will take a look at these at the weekend. Will also require a new set of tyres and 4 wheel alignment in the near future.
Loads done through my ownership, lots of receipts, genuinely love this car with all my heart, but she has to go.... but needs to be to a good home.
I know values have rocketed, but whilst the car is solid I appreciate she will need some TLC to return her to full former glory. Hence I'm thinking around the 8.5k mark, but will consider sensible offers. Will post some pics in a bit. If anyone's interested in coming and taking a look (I'm in Hampshire), or you want more info, then let me know.
Cheers,
Gareth
