Hi all,
I went to view this S3 yesterday and bought it.
Unsure exactly what I've got in to!
It's totally original, 3 owners and 19,000 miles. Other than a cross member 22 years ago, it's never been welded and appears to have a very sound chassis which needs a handful of small repairs and a damn good clean to get the flaky paint off. Running condition unknown - but am assured it does run fine having been started successfully from an external fuel tank and with a new coil. Remains to be seen though.
The Brake cylinder is missing, so obvious general brake maintenance required, new cylinder etc.
I'll post a few more pics once it's home.
In the meantime I'm wondering if there are any enthusiasts in the Frinton-on-Sea area who may be able to give me a more experienced appraisal, or even some hands on help to get it moving on its own?
