A little something to keep me busy

[K Simmonds]

Yeah we never got that lovely V8 version in the UK, the S6+ over here was a stock S6 with all the nice bits like the seats etc.

I agree, too rare and potentially valuable in future to break, unless it's got some serious rust issues.

Dave, as no one seems interested in my shell your very welcome to come cut any underside repair sections you require out FOC.

I don't think we got the v8 in the UK. As Ian says, 5 pot aan.

[Ian Simmonds]

So, is it a genuine S6 plus (326bhp V8) Or is it a normal S6 with plus specs?

It’ll be a 5-pot

This was our S2 dilemma, spend-fest underneath… We were clearly not going to let the car go under with that.

[Tractor Dave]

I think you are spot on there but the body has a few issues as well
It's far too good to break. I couldn't do that.
Clutch, cambelt, service, fuel lines, brakes and bushes and it's a useable classic with patina

Looks like it needs a fair amount of work on the underside. I had a sneaky look the the MOT history and there is an advisory about rust on the underside but seeing as it's a 25+ year old motor there is no real surprise. It looks like the value of the S6's are on the up. Only one I could find for sale recently was a saloon back in 2021 with 122K on the clock https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/...quattro-saloon that sold for £6.6K So it would be interesting to see how much more or less the Avant is worth?

You must be looking at a similar 5K repair bill as the S2. Seeing as the cats are missing, needs a clutch, all the bushes are shot, and it all looks a bit crusty underneath. The question is it a keeper or a breaker? As the potential repair of the car could be quite high v the final value.

Inside was all mouldy.


So everything got cleaned and the leather fed.


Underneath is a mess.


And most bushes are shot.


The engine bay however is very clean.

What's the plan with this one. Similar work that you did on the S2?

It's not actually mine at the moment. I have offered to buy the car or do the work for the owner who is on Classic Audi. There is quite a lot that needs doing. It's sat for three years after the clutch went. In that time, some pondlife stole the cats.

Nice! Is it a S6 or S6-plus?

S6 plus.

I always felt the 4 and 6 where well undervalued, great cars

Nice purchase Dave.

Generally speaking these old girls had fairly hard lives as mileage eaters followed by hauling families and leisure paraphernalia into their middle age. Be interesting to see the general condition now so we can compare when it’s done.

[Tractor Dave]

It got a deep clean.
