After much deliberation I have decided to sell my s2. I’ve owned her for just over a year and have enjoyed every minute of it. My reason for selling is that I’m looking at buying a house and so need to cut down to one car rather than my current two. Much though I’d love to run the S2 as a daily I just do too many miles and so it’s not practical.
Car & Interior:
She’s a 1994 ‘M’ ABY coupe in white with black leather & carbon interior and 138k on the clock, which I believe is genuine from the paperwork. Full service history up until I owned her at 126k and then every bill and receipt for the work I’ve done since. The car has air conditioning fitted but it is inoperative due to a burst pipe. The pipe is £90+vat from Audi but I have had more important things to spend money on than such luxuries! I have fitted speakers in the front doors but would look to replace the door cards with standard ones (unless persuaded otherwise). I also have a TIM boost gauge fitted in the central vent location.
Engine:
The engine is completely standard apart from blue Samco hoses, the intercooler mod and replacement vacuum hoses throughout. Before replacing the vacuum hoses she pulled 240bhp @ 6000rpm and 280ftlbs @ 3000rpm on the rollers at Interpro at the beginning of the year and so is quite healthy, although this was performed in 5th gear
. She boosts cleanly and strongly in every gear.
Chassis:
I had Koni adjustables and new green top mounts fitted around December/January and replaced both front track rod ends and lower ball joints two months ago. The car is running standard Avus alloys with eagle F1 225/50R16’s all round with the two fronts being brand new last month. At the same time as having the tyres fitted, I also had the tracking and camber checked and adjusted. This was done at Protyre in Bristol ,who I have used for years and believe they do a decent job. The brakes are standard and have Zimmerman cross drilled discs that were fitted by the previous owner and I fitted new Pagid pads at the beginning of the year. Unfortunately the Auto-check does come on for hydraulic pressure but this is not consistent.
I have spent large amounts of time and money getting the car to the mechanical condition it is in now.
Bodywork:
There are a few points to note as she is a 11 year old car. There is a small spot of rust on the front drivers side wheel arch, at the front where the arch meets the bumper. The car has had some paint before I owned it and as a result the passenger side front and rear wing are a slightly different colour to the rest of the car (I assume white is difficult to match?). One of the front headlight washers has popped out after I got them working again and there are the usual stone chips to the front of the bonnet.
Assorted others:
I replaced the clutch master cylinder with a genuine VAG one last year so the clutch is smooth. A replacement radiator was fitted just after I bought the car in Aug 04.
Price:
I have spent nearly £1500 on the car in the year since and have upgraded some of the weak areas of the S2. I have invested a large amount of my time and effort and now have the S2 just as I want her. If she was perfect I would have paid around £8k for her a year ago and would ask similar again. However, for the reasons detailed above she is not perfect and so I believe that she's worth in the region of £5995.
Location & Viewing:
The car is located just north of Bristol with easy access from both the M4 and M5 motorways.
