tons of new and NOS (New Old Stock) parts used throughout, you wouldn't believe how hard some were to find and the expense of them too, full factory chrome trim package, imported at great expense from Germany, Australia, America, UK, Austria etc etc etc
Winner of "Best Audi" at the only show it's been to: Limerick VAG show, 2011

aside from the full restoration, it's what I would call a mild custom: it's lowered, has different headlamps and wheels. I have the original suspension, headlamps and 13" steel wheels with good tyres (spare unused) if the new owner wished to return it to stock look. Obviously it would still have the upgraded engine, brakes, interior etc so wouldn't be 100% stock...
So the price: I'm looking for €14,000 for it. This is an extremely early RHD model, possibly the only early RHD model restored to this standard. If you know anything about these cars you'll appreciate how rare and how well presented it is and how much money and time went into it.
It'll be advertised at the end of the Golf+ article when it goes to print and will be open to the UK market then. I'm advertising now in case anyone wants to steal a march on the general public.

oh, it comes with a package of period correct English language Audi literature: sales brochures, owners manual, dealer repair manuals etc. Just a nice additional thing to have...
