2.3 20v

Panther Black

115,600 miles

MOT until 16th October 2019

It is with a heavy heart that I'm writing this ad, but it has become obvious that the restoration that I've been planning to do on this car just isn't going to happen any time soon, so I want someone else to have the opportunity to enjoy this great car and bring it back to the condition it deserves.

I've owned the car since 2007 and it was my daily driver until 2012. It was off the road for a couple of years while I had 2 kids and moved from Scotland back home to Northern Ireland. I got it MOT'd again in July 2015 with a view to doing a full restoration, but with a house and 2 kids there has always been more pressing things to spend money on, so each year since then it's got what it needs to get another MOT and I've said to myself "this year...".

The car is in good shape body wise apart from the front wings and a couple of rust patches on the sills. Underbody is solid also.

The interior is in great condition with no rips on the seats, just the driver's seat bolster requiring the padding renewed.

The engine is a peach and I have installed a k+n panel filter and a Jetex stainless steel back box.

The car will need some work for MOT this year - one front spring has broken and one front shock absorber is leaking, and there will likely be suspension bushes (some looking quite perished). There is also a small bit of welding needed to the leading edge of the driver's sill (see pictures)

I have the following spares which will come with the car.

2 rust free front wings

Bonnet

2 front door shells

All 4 electric window assemblies

Set of 6x15 refurbished ronal aeros

Set of 7.5x16 RH toplines (damage to inner rim of 1 from pothole, but is repairable)

Set of bottom door rubbers for B5 A4 which will fit with some minor trimming

Various other bits shown in pictures.

I will be truly sad to see this car go, but I cannot afford it the time and money it needs at the minute and if I continue just MOTing and driving it each year it will get to the point where it will not be worth saving.

Please be aware that the car is located in NORTHERN IRELAND

I'm sure I've missed something, but if you have any questions please comment.

Thanks for reading
