This looks like a great unmodified example, anyone on the forum aware of its history/current owner? If it's still up for sale in a few weeks/months when I may have some money to spend I might look at buying it - I can't not have 230bhp and permanent four wheel drive in my life!

Saw it on pistonheads a while back too but obviously didn't sell....

looks a decent example and in good nick it does have s4 alloys looks like 17 inch i think

[karlblues2]

Is it a late 3B or an early ABY example? (Can't tell from the photos)

If its 230bhp then its an ABY and I don't think 3B's had the thingy in the upper b post for the remote locking did they?

Just ask if it's 5 or 6 speed...

Make me laugh that it's 'totally standard' but has different wheels.

[Jack4688]

Is it possibly an early ABY? It still has the orange indicator lenses so maybe it had those hideous five spoke wheels when it was new. I can't remember what came first - the ABY engine and the 6 speed box or the Avus wheels?

There were crossover cars with the non-elipsoids and 5 spokes but with ABY and 6 speeds. Wheels came later.

I like the 3B polished 5 spokes.

I like the 3B polished 5 spokes.

Prefer the original Avus personally, but a dark S2 coupe with the 5-spokers sometimes looks ok. Next gen Avus alloys though don't look quite right on an S2, especially when it's the massive ones off an S8. That being said I quite like the look of these wheels on that car....

Don't let Ken hear you say that

Both 5 and 6 spoke Avi are available at very sensible money with good tyres, even refurbished with nearly new tyres, they're rarely more than £400

and steering wheel.

and steering wheel.

Yeah I googled it and it sounds horrific!

exact opposite, probably the best steering wheel you will ever use ask:

martinjs
spink
skull
jamo

I've had around 10 of them now.

[Jack4688]

Ahhhh that makes much more sense, my internet search came up with this. It just didn't seem right....

The bloke selling it has sent me some more pics. It has a wood rimmed steering wheel and matching gear nob.
Wheels are indeed 17" but he has the originals for another £150.
It has air con and sun roof and history going back 8 years.
He has 2 keys and all user manuals.

Looks pretty good, justs needs seats cleaning.
