Volkswagen Passat W8 4.0 4Motion - Extremely Rare - Cherished Plate: W8 VWV The VW Passat W8 is a rare and remarkable machine. Only around 11,000 were ever produced worldwide, and today fewer than twenty remain licensed on UK roads. This example includes the unique cherished number plate W8 VWV, making it one of the most distinctive remaining W8s in the country. I purchased the car in February 2011 at 49,000 miles and have maintained it exclusively with VW main dealer servicing, with no expense spared. For its age, the car is in very good condition and remains in regular use. Although the odometer now reads 119,633 miles, major mechanical components have been replaced by VW, making this a much younger car in practical terms: Gearbox replaced by VW at 73,000 miles Engine and timing chains replaced by VW at 90,000 miles Gearbox ECU replaced by VW at 93,000 miles PAS pump replaced by VW at 95,000 miles Brake discs and pads replaced by VW at 113,000 miles MOT valid until November 2026. Specification 4.0 litre W8, 32valve, 275 bhp Permanent 4Motion all-wheel drive Tiptronic 5speed automatic Halogen gas-discharge headlamps Full leather interior Electric, heated Recaro front seats Electric windows (front and rear) Premium audio system Handsfree Bluetooth Cruise control Satnav Two sets of remote keys This car has been part of my life for many years, and I have cared for it accordingly. I am only selling due to a genuine medical reason, and I hope it will go to someone who appreciates how rare and special these W8s are.
