The Appeal

While the C5 RS6 had the outright blistering pace, for quick real-world motoring, the S6 is a sensible alternative and a modern classic that is quickly garnering renewed appreciation. It got the same, lauded Audi 4.2L V8 engine, the same Quattro drivetrain and versatile DSG gearbox, but with power tamed at a more realistic 340bhp.

Here is a chance to get in on the C5 action with a complete Avant that is ready for recommissioning. It appears to be a largely standard car, finished in silver metallic with Recaro part-leather interior. The history file includes an APK certificate valid to April 2025 and a Car Vertical report, which adds transparency for buyers. There is also a service invoice from April 2026.

The car starts, and drives. The airbag warning light is on.
