Cleaned the old girl up today. Now has first MOT in 2 years and is in the finest fettle since I bought it.

Thought I'd share!

Since storage it's had a new timing belt and water pump, seats recoloured, new mats and rear muffler bypass fitted. It's a 1991 S4 5.0L..!

The Nurburgring sticker was earned when my dad and I took this car a few years ago, I inherited this car long before I thought I would, so the sticker is staying!

Beautiful. Lovely colours and it looks fantastically fresh.

What happened to the wing?
Bit of a classic 928 "they all do that sir" problem is that people shut the boot with the wing. So mine started to rattle as I drove along, the previous owner had attempted a fix but it didn't last. Took it off and actually prefer the shape without it!

Car looks great OP - love the colour combo, really suits it. Started a thread on mine a few weeks back...

My seats are bit tired so would be interested to know what you did to yours?
Looks good to me! I had the seats refurbished by Furniture Clinic, which is a very cost effective alternative to releathering it. A few weeks ago mine looked far worse than yours!

Very nice it's been years since I've seen one being used regularly.
It's been a running joke that since we bought the car we haven't actually seen another whilst we have been out in it!

Behaved pretty well, I bridged the kick down switch under the pedal so it would hold lower gears at part throttle, so it didn't hamper the experience too badly!

That's absolutely lovely! Missing it's rear wing on track- which brings back that original shape from the 70's, but are you having it back on? The car must mean a great deal to you, at least your original post suggests- if so, very sorry that it came to be yours in that way. Have fun with it.
Well I so have it but I'm in no rush to replace it, I like it as is, or maybe with a small lip spoiler at most
