The car is in outstanding condition for its age, having been subject to meticulous maintenance and care from new. Not to be confused with the usual tired and abused examples which seem prominent nowadays. Understood to have been an Audi management car when first registered, the second owner bought the car at 1 year old and kept it for 20+ years. It has by far the most comprehensive suite of documentation I have ever seen (see photos), including:
• All MOTs from new.
• Fully stamped service history
• All invoices spanning 25 years.
• Original book pack and Audi Sat Nav CD ROM’s
• Audi Approved Used bill of sale from 2001
Very desirable and rare specification with lots of optional extras:
• Aluminium space frame chassis (light and doesn’t rust).
• Azure blue with Valcona leather
• Sport trim (incl. Recaro sports seats, sports suspension & steering wheel)
• Optional extras: sat nav, analogue TV, electric rear blind, solar power sunroof, parking sensors, & Bose sound system
• Electric adjustment for the following: seats, headrests, seat belt, steering column.
• Cruise control
• Climate control
• Heated front seats
• Electric folding mirrors
• Auto dipping rear review and door mirrors
• Discrete Bluetooth hands free kit integrated into OEM headunit controls, c/ w Bluetooth calling and audio streaming functionality.
Built to compete with the S-Class and 7-series, the A8 ‘D2’ was made by Audi with no expense spared, and the build quality really shows. I wanted a genuine unabused ‘D2’ A8 for years and it took a very long time to find this one which I bought it from a private collector in London 5 years ago. Since then it has been perfect for my regular long distance motorway commutes. Besides regular servicing (incl cambelt replacement using the genuine Audi kit) I have also addressed common issues and kept on top of wear & tear items. In the past two years this as included:
• Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tyres all round
• Discs & pads front and rear
• New rear calipers
• New OSF caliper
• Front hub knuckle & suspension arms
• Laser wheel alignment
• Gearbox fluid flush & service at 107K miles by Mackie Transmissions
• Drains cleared
Comes with spare set of original cream mats in mint condition.
Has some light stone chips as expected with its age, and otherwise extremely tidy.
I am located 15 minutes from Aberdeen train station and the International airport which has daily flights to most major UK cities. Viewing available evenings and weekends. You are welcome to test drive the car subject to proof of fully comprehensive insurance.
It would be great to see the car go to a fellow enthusiast. I am selling because it is now my fourth car which I have barely used in the 6 months since I bought a BMW 535d.
Genuine enquiries only (17:30 onwards on weekdays, and any time at the weekend). No timewasters, silly offers, or group viewings. No PX.
