how much is a full leather RS2 interior worth ?

[A80Avant]

:thumbup: to Stefano

As I mentioned on my post with the photos. That car has had lots of modifications and was residing in crete where parts are not very accessible even today. So I'm sure a great deal of parts are not genuine. My remarks are only a transfer of the previous owner who had the paperwork of the car and perhaps knows the car before he did any mods of his own and he quoted that the interior seats where baige as well as the carpet and door cards. The bolsters have been done later on as has the gear lever. But that is as far as my knowledge goes unfortunately. Merely by the fact that Tom posted the above photos before me I probably shouldn't have bothered.

Anyway, apparently there are unique original rs2s out there, with bits on them that weren't mass produced.

Dave.....Sorry if i did'nt jump in here before......
Here I am though...The photos posted by Tom of the beige one it's definetely an RS2 in the flesh, I don't need any VIN tag picture, I can see that by myself and further more if Tobias/Tots says that it's an RS2 then by knowing him and our Tom/Saltinot I take that as granted, also because Tobias would'nt even look at the car if it was'nt a real one....

Stefano: Thanks for your thoughts. I was hoping that you would have some documented proof for some of these odd-ball cars. The one Vasilis posted raised a lot of flags for me, the headrests being one of them.

I don't doubt Tom and on that basis, I guess I shouldn't doubt Tobias or you either. However, I don't think Tom, Tobias or you can tell, with 100% certainty, that a B4 Avant is an RS2 and not an S2 with RS2 wheels, bumper, mirrors, etc, i.e. there is nothing in this photo that couldn't be added to an S2 avant. Build tags and VINs tell the real story.

That is my final point.

Sometimes those can also be faked!

Pont taken Dave

I think your lack of confidence rests on the facts that on the other side of the pond you never had any RS2 officially imported, hence you have few (or many? you tell me) Audi S2 Avant upgraded to RS2 look and specs if I remember well you use the word RS2d?

Here in Europe by having them around still there's not such a need to do replicas and in Switzerland even less....

So you said that and I rest my case on the fact that if Tom says that it's an RS2 that's what it is for me and if you don't agree it's up to you to search and to prove the contrary.

I think your lack of confidence.....Stefano

Stefano: It's not about confidence or lack of confidence. You are confusing "lack of confidence" with my general inherent scepticism* (i.e. an unwillingness to believe something somebody says until hard proof is also provided).

I am fully confident that because the RS2 is based on an S2 avant, and RS2 parts were or are available, somebody somewhere has converted an S2 ABY avant to full visual RS2 spec (bumpers, mirrors, headlights, wheels, brakes, steering wheel, intake manifold, turbo, etc), either for personal taste or nefarious** reasons. I'd be the one trying to figure out what I was looking at was real RS2 or a converted S2 avant before I or someone else purchased a vehicle that looked like an RS2.

Dave ok this is getting nowhere so I'll drop it.

Thanks for helping me to deeply understand english language.

Although I have more problem with what we foreigners call "false friends" i.e. for the italians
Actually eventually etc etc

Not much of a problem with words of latin or greek origin like
Skepticism=Scetticismo
Nefarious= Nefasto

I just wanted to 110% clear about what I was saying. Now I've learned some Italian. Grazie mille

Ciao.
