After 3 years of very enjoyable ownership my RS2 is up for sale.
Details of my car:
Polar Silver RS2, right hand drive, 1st registered 02.01.1995
87,002 miles (as it is at the time of writing this post)
Full black leather interior
Full history from new and fully documented with a big file of receipts and all paperwork back to original purchase. First owner being AFN Isleworth (Porsche/Audi dealership) as the managing director's car. Later sold to the managing director's wife. Total of 6 previous registered keepers, but in effect only has had 3 owners as has moved between company and private ownership of same individual more than once. This is confirmed by DVLA documentation which I have.
Since I have had the car I have replaced almost all the wear and tear parts to bring the car back to original condition. Recent history includes:
At 79,800 miles had new lambda probe, new WGFV, Forge 007 DV, fuel filter replaced, Black Samco Boost hoses and was then tuned by MRC Tuning to 350 -370 bhp & 375 lbsft (figures vary depending on rolling road.
At 82,700 miles had new OE dampers and bushes all round. At the same time had OE "big red" factory brake upgrade with brand new callipers discs and pads. The new rear cross drilled discs have not yet been fitted as the rear discs were not required at that stage. I have these with new pads etc.
At 85,400 miles a set of four Pirelli P Zero Rosso 225/45 R17 tyres fitted, which not surprisingly still look like new. Samco black coolant hoses fitted.
At 86,800 miles has had a cylinder head rebuild with replacement of all valves, new crankshaft pulley, cambelt, water pump & tensioner, as well as new cylinder head gasket etc. All this work is fully warranted with all genuine parts used.
Other "modifications" include: VAG Parts HID headlight upgrade, black Samco coolant hoses, clear side indicators, aero wipers front & rear, Porsche centre caps on wheels, stubby aerial.
Becker Mexico Pro head unit with red illumination and iPod control, with iPod docking cable in glovebox.

Shortly after buying the car (March 2004) I had all the bodywork tidied, this involved replacing the side trims and having all of the car resprayed apart from the roof to bring it up to a standard I was happy with.
Also I have a pair of brand new rear brake callipers to go on the car, which I was going to fit at the same time as the new cross-drilled rear brake discs. I have a repair kit for the existing rear callipers, a tin of OE Porsche guards red paint and new decals to refurb the old rear callipers when they come off. There is also a set of TUV-approved Goodridge stainless braided brake hoses to go on the car.
I also have a spare rear differential which I bought of Sal, this is a "just in case" spare as it is the single most expensive part listed for the car. It came off an RS2 that had done 120K, but is an insurance policy of sorts. I have got a big box of other miscellaneous spares, a lot being originals of items I have replaced for cosmetic reasons, such as headlight lenses, foglights etc.
Included will be 4 big A4 files which include all the available relevant Audi workshop manuals printed out and various electronic copies of brochures, magazine articles etc.
The car was MOT'd on the 4th January 2007 and is taxed until the end of June 2007.
The car also has a transferable full cover warranty that lasts until the end of December 2007.
Overall I have not seen a tidier RS2 since owning this car. I have receipts for about £6K spent in the last 3 years to bring the car up to it's current condition. There may be cheaper RS2's out there, but not many with lower mileage than this one. Also this one has had all the major work recently done and in effect has new suspension, new upgraded brakes and new tyres aswell as a warranty.
I would rather sell this car to an enthusiast who will fully appreciate it for what it is.
It is up at £13,995
PM me if you want any more info
I will post up some new current pics at the weekend.
The reason I am selling is that I now have an RS4 and cannot justify keeping two RS Audi's.
