It is with regret that I have for sale my Audi cabriolet, the condition is excellent and not just for a 12year old car. I looked at many examples during my search and a lot cheaper cars than this but they were all bad cars, this was definitely the best example and I would say still is.
The condition is excellent and the history backs it all up, the previous owner and I have dry stored the car and it has only come out when it is dry and there is no salt on the ground. It is rolled around the garage to stop flat spots and the tyre pressures adjusted also.
Car registered in May 1998 by Heron Newark Audi and used as a demonstrator during this time. 2nd owner was registered in August 1998 which he kept until August 2008 and the third owner had it until I purchased in September 2010 and have continued to look after it since.

The 3rd owner was a mechanic so self maintained during this period ie oil and filter changes and covered around 6000 in the two years of ownership. I purchased it at mileage 53716 and is now only 54395. I have every MOT and the complete handbook and manuals including the radio code which documents the service also. Since my ownership it has been MOT’d and cared for by Midland VW.
During my ownership it has had fitted new cambelt, tensioner and water pump changed along with respective fluid, new discs and pads all around, new rear wheel bearings due to the new brakes, refurbished the alloys and fitted new tyres all round. No advisories on last MOT but needed a CV boot to pass which again was carried out at Midland VW.
The MOT is valid until April 10th 2013 and is taxed until Sep 2013.
As you can see by the picture all MOTs and all three keys plus security tag are all here
General specification
2.6 V6 manual 5 speed, Cactus green metallic paint with matching green cloth roof, the rear window isn’t glass clear but as you can see in the pictures it isn’t cloudy and has no rips or repairs. It is a manual roof which again I purposely wanted to save any headaches with leaking reservoirs etc and is easily put up and down.
Front sports seats with ½ Ecru leather upholstery, some cracking to the side bolsters but no rips or damage throughout the entire interior. Ellipsoid headlamps
Delta stereo system with optional centre bass unit in arm rest area, fully working power aerial.
Four electric windows, electric mirrors, central locking, abs, leather steering wheel with airbag, tinted glass, power steering, original mats, full tool kit, spare never used, optional wind deflector. This car was over £26000 when new and is a true original solid audi.
Bad Points.
Few stone chips evident and there is a 5pence size dent on the passenger side rear wheel arch in line with the side rub guards, no chip or paint removed from this though and isn’t obvious. Lower corners of screen slight delamination but no issues and fine for MOT, this was consistent to all cars I looked at. Slight scratch to drivers wing mirror side edge but very small.
£4000
but best to check out the Sooty thread for the front hub conversion details, if one has a four cylinder.
