Description

The car was initially brought into Sweden from Germany in 2004 and underwent its last inspection in 2009, showing 179,330 km on the odometer. After experiencing a coolant leak, it was stored in a garage for 14 years. The current owner, who is proficient in mechanics, recently purchased the car and has extensively reviewed, repaired, and replaced various components as needed. This effort culminated in a fresh inspection, securing its roadworthiness until April 30, 2025. The car comes with all handbooks and informational materials, although it does not include a service book. List of work done below:-

Timing belt with water pump
New windscreen
Auxiliary belt
Wiper motor
Brake pads and discs front and rear
Rear brake flex pipes
Oil, oil filter, spark plugs, air filter, cabin filters
Gearbox filter and oil
New summer tyres on 20 inch audi wheels
New studded winter tyres on 18 inches aftermarket wheels

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    During the test drive, the car performed well, showcasing the delightful sound of its V8 engine, abundant power, effective braking, smooth automatic transmission, and stable handling. All electric features, including windows, mirrors, seats, radio, and the roof, are operational, though the folding feature for one mirror does not work. The AC functions but likely needs a recharge. The instrument panel and dashboard are fully functional, albeit with a pixelated display on the radio. The alloy wheels are in good condition despite some minor scuffs, and the car comes with new tires as well as additional winter wheels equipped with new tires. There's a minor crack in the plastic engine covers.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior is clean and well-kept, showing age-related wear primarily on the driver's seat bolster, along with a few small holes on both the driver's and passenger's seats (refer to pictures). Apart from these issues, the interior is tidy, featuring well-maintained door cards, rear seats, carpets, and headliner. There's a stain on the rear boot carpet and a repair on the spare wheel lid (see pictures).

  • Exterior condition:

    The bodywork is straight, clean, and free from rust issues, thanks to its all-aluminum construction. The underbody is clean and undamaged, with only minor surface rust on some parts. The paintwork is presentable and bright, though the clear coat on the bonnet has lifted in places, and there are a few small blisters around the door pillars and edges (refer to pictures). The bumpers have been repainted and show some small blisters, suggesting the front bumper may have been replaced.

  • General condition:

    This young-timer remains a joy to drive, feeling tight and fun on the road, with lots of expensive work already completed, promising many enjoyable motoring years ahead. The cosmetic flaws can be addressed over time, starting with at least a repaint of the bonnet.

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
