Prior to my ownership:
Routine servicing carried out my main dealers and specialists.
Capristo exhaust system (switchable via sport button).
Purchased in May 2024 as the 'last leg' of the R/RS models I wanted to own, having previously ticked off an RS4 & RS6. I'm now focusing on a new home and business commitments, but I will own another one day!
Having got the car home my first stop was to RE Performance, where I asked Ricky to 'book it in for everything' and subsequently was given the assurance it was good to go. I returned last summer for an oil service and would recommend them to every R8 owner.
The BC Coilovers were fitted in December 2024 as a possible stop gap before going to passive suspension. I've been really impressed with them and felt no need to change further.
The Capristo exhaust is the party piece and considering their 5k+ price tag was a welcome surprise upon purchase! It's raw in sport mode but completely reasonable with the flaps closed.
I'm sure there's lots more to say, but I've hopefully given enough to show this is a very cherished example of an exceptional car. You'll certainly find one with lower miles, but this one has had the right money spent to not feel nervous during future ownership. Proof of insurance and funds would understandably be required before considering a test drive. I'm based near Bristol for viewing and always happy for a call if you need more info first.
