History of ownership,

I'm 54yo professional and was bought a few years back from a similar person who poured a fortune into it and then headed abroad for 3 year work.

I bought as I hate new cars and done loads in past with Audi's / Porsches. I wanted something fun for occasional work / client meetings (its under the radar and better than commercial vehicle). Also wanted motorsport / show days out.

It lives in garage and is washed every time it goes out (in dry) and then parked up on C-Tech battery conditioner. Only considering selling as used just 4 times this year due new work project necessitating 4x4 so been dry days out only.

Every time its used (me and prev. owner so basically in current spec.) it doesn't go over 2000rpm until temp normal and oil temp 70 degrees or so. Its basically VERY well looked after and has been since 2019.

I am considering selling one bike and car from my small collection and buying a Pro Street classic so no hurry to sell!! Just testing market. If its still here next year, I wont be disappointed!

Important note (before you go further!);

Car is recorded as damage repairable when it was at a time in its life where market value / repair was considered uneconomic due to needing front bumper. Prev. owner who did the extensive / exhaustive work knew this but still bought as best / lowest mileage he could find. (circa 80k at time and amazing paintwork)

Its been built, maintained and checked by The Phirm (VAG Specialist) who confirm its perfect. Sharp eyes will realise its had the facelift front anyway as part of the big build for larger intercoolers, nicer lights etc.

My local MOT garage said he's never seen anything like it. Recons 4 year old cars for first MOT not as nice!

Spec.

Works undertaken since 2019. Slowly gone through the car to improve/upgrade and refurbish it up to a really high standard., It is now super reliable, plenty quick enough and yet, being an estate, it slips beneath the radar. Extensive service history and all the major
