Description

Superb example of an era defining hot hatch. The Mk1 Audi S3 is now considered an appreciating classic and this car has the perfect spec; Imola yellow paint (press launch colour), polished aluminium wing mirror covers, full Recaro heated black leather interior, Audi symphony stereo, Bose sound system, climate control and sunroof - pretty sure that's all the options available from factory! It also has some choice modifications such as 18" RS4 alloys which really suit the S3 over the Avus style these normally came with, upgraded air filter and boost gauge. Its also has a QST exhaust and Porsche GT3 brakes fitted, which for those of you who know, were really popular upgrade choices with tuners such as QST and AMD Technik back in the day. All modifications were performed by previous owners, the only minor one I have carried out is a rear wiper delete. Everything else is standard and as it left the factory. This S3 has spent a lot of its life in storage which is immediately obvious when you see the condition it's in 20 years on. The car drives brilliantly and once that turbo spools up it just keeps pulling. I have owned the car for just under 2 years, having purchased from a specialist dealer, and have covered less than 2000 miles as this was an investment purchase and has therefore spent further time under a cover in the garage. My plan was to completely restore the car over the coming years and work towards concours level condition but times are hard and I can no longer justify it, and the other half isn't having it either! This is a very, very reluctant sale but the car does have to go so only sensible, genuinely interested buyers please. I would expect anyone buying a car like this to insist on viewing it but I am also happy to send across more photos if needed. I have seen a lot of comments on Mk1 S3 adverts claiming to be the best examples in the UK. I am not going to refute that but what I will say is you would be hard pressed to beat the spec and condition of this one. Next MOT due 13/12/2024, Full service history, Yellow, 5+ owners, £14,349
