Introduction
Glyn Parry
The original spec R8 that propelled it to stardom; 4.2 V8, manual open gated gearbox, coupe, and a tweaked Quattro system.
This 4.2 V8 is a dynamic, high-performance machine that will make you smile on a day-to-day basis. Set in a stunning grey with a two-tone accentuated by that iconic rear air-intake. Audi created a car that gave that supercar feel, sensibilities of the German manufacturer, and at a fraction of the cost of a supercar.
This example many would argue hits the sweet spot. The manual gearbox is said to be a delight to use, the lighter V8 block gives you a more balanced car, and the coupe gives you those supercar looks. Having covered over 35,000 miles, this is a lovely example coming out of 3 years of ownership.
This auction listing was written from information supplied by Glyn after meeting Gareth the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Hi is the clutch and gearbox good and engine please
Hi this car is as genuine as you will find. The clutch and gear box are perfect and the engine is faultless she runs and drives exactly as she should as I said in an earlier post I drove it from cheltenham to inverness, spent a week driving around the highlands and she never missed a beat and that was just 3 weeks ago. Under my ownership I’ve not had a moment’s problem with the vehicle, every button every switch works perfectly. Also the vehicle has been in use over the last week or so as I’ve had it at home rather than garaging it since trade classics did all the videos ect. So no worries about it having just been ‘sat’ like so many on forecourts up and down the country. Please all bid with confidence this car really is in my opinion a great buy for anyone and if I hadn’t moved and subsequently had to keep it at my works unit meaning I wasnt getting to drive it enough I wouldnt be selling it. To be honest when the reserve was met my heart sank.
Hi Gareth,
My name is Allan Cross from Inverness Scotland and extremely interested in bidding for your fantastic looking R8 could you please provide a mobile number I could call you on tomorrow for some information, I have tried to use your email address below but it bounced back, I look forward to your response.
Kind Regards
Allan Cross

Hi Gareth, The car looks great. A couple of service questions;
Just to confirm, The last service was at May 2018 so 2ish years ago. Anything done in the interim eg oil change ?
There was an advisory for brake fluid replacement in 2016. Was this done do you know (appreciate this was before you owned the car) or do you know when the brake fluid was last changed ?
Whats the general condition of the tyres (there was an advisory in the 2018 service). Of course its passed MOTs since then, but just trying to gauge if the car needs tyres all around or not.
Thanks
Sorry, looked again and saw brake fluid was changed in 2017. Assume this was the latest change ?
Hi the vehicle is totally up to date service wise as per the service schedules, it had new front tyres immediately following the advisory on the mot, the rear tyres are in reasonable condition, obviously in november I had the expansion tank changed as it’s a well known fault and I didn’t want to take any risks with that. The car hasn’t wanted for anything under mine or the previous stewardship.
Does it have a new current mot
Hi the mot runs until 08.11.20. Mechanically this car is perfect, 3 weeks ago I drove it to inverness from cheltenham, spent a week driving it around the highlands and believe me if it doesn’t make the reserve price I’ll be happy to keep her. I’ve never had any mechanical issue with the vehicle. In fact owning it has been a real pleasure and it wont be my last R8.

Have you got a direct number I can give you a bell on please?
Colin
Hi colin if you would like to drop me an email to gwitts@completeutilities.com I can provide you a phone number and chat about the car
Hi, could you confirm the of the Mag ride please? Have they been replaced? Also, the structural patch been applied to this car?
No the mag ride has not been changed as it is in perfect working order. I haven’t had the ‘structural patch’ done as the chassis is showing no signs of wear which we have been monitoring with every service and mot and she looks perfect
