My A2 Collection

I have always loved the A2 since i first see it on the London Eye A2 Advert... It looked so cool and futuristic, Alu construction and fantastic mpg figures.

There was something about this little car that so far, six of them have managed to find their way onto my driveway over the last few years! (Lots of pictures to follow)

At the time, back in 2002 a few years after the A2 launch i decided to buy a Silver TT instead, this was the new revised version that had the 18" RS4's, Black leather and Bose. I loved that car, but i would still see these little silver A2's about and always thought 'I will buy one of those'

A few years later after being in company cars and not needing to buy a car, i decided to buy my first A2.

This was found on the Audi used car website located at Audi Reading. The car was 18 months old at the time and was one of the last ever registered! It was registered on 30th September 2005 on a 55 plate.

Some kind forum member had a look for me and he had actually driven this car and it was a 'good un'

It was a 55' Akoya Silver TDI 90 Sport with a few extras. Nothing much, but i did add some tasty little mods to it.

Stealth remap 117ps
Miltek full SS exhaust
Xenons
And a few other little extras A2oc stickers etc

Unfortunately, i cant find the pictures of this one, but i do have lots of pictures and details of my other A2's that i will be uploading asap in the 'reserved' posts below.

My current A2 is my little project, until i find the right TDI. I currently own a 2004 FSI Sport in Silver with a few little mods already. Black leather Sport seats will be installed next week and a Bose system sourced ready for a TDI. I am buying a few mods, so they are all ready for transplanting from the project car to a TDI in the future, then the FSI will be sold on.

I am pretty sure that the next OpenSky TDI i buy will never be sold, even if i do decide to buy a new car in the near future.

Here is the current FSI Sport project

My next A2 was a 2003 Sprint Blue FSI Colour Storm.

I love this colour when the sun is out!

The car was pretty much standard apart from a Concert II CD player, climate and RS4 replicas.

The only mod is did was customise some genuine centre caps to fit the replicas. They looked so much better after!

I am quite tempted to find a Blue Storm with OpenSky and Climate and add a few bits...

The next one was a 2004 04' TDI 90 SE in Akoya Silver.

Again pretty much standard, but it was a very nice example and i remember this being a very nippy car!

I sold this to buy my next A2...

I can see why the black sport was your favourite, what a great car. Won't be impossible to replicate though as long as you get something with OSS, so hopefully you should have a very similar car back on your drive before too long. Good luck with the search.
 
Pictures of my previous high spec FSI Sport that Jetboy now owns.

I must say, as the car was being driven away with those Audi Granit grey wheels, i wanted to keep it

My Dolphin Grey A2 TDI Sport project...

c36f3a69c5cf7da2c929be324347489b.jpg


I bought this as a non runner so it is my little project car. The cambelt had deteriorated and slipped, so i suspect bent valves.

I am currently sourcing all the parts for repair and a few extra service parts are waiting for fitment.
New oil, coolant, rear brakes, cambelt kit, water pump, recon cylinder head etc.

It has 2004 Matrix Sport seats, climate control, front Audi mats and a Concert II CD Player.

The FSI looked very clean.

Sounds like you've got your hands full with the Grey TDI but will be a nice car once done. If I didn't already ahve my own car I would have kept the dolphin grey I had for sale, its a lovely colour.

Metallic grey
Full service history
Bose
DIS
OpenSky
Slatted Front Grille

I 'May' eventually put all the extras onto my TDI project... Not too sure yet as we are thinking about buying a i3 to go with one of the A2's.

The silver FSI was a lovely example.

I can take my time with the TDI project, but it will be fun.
 
A lovely collection you've had over the years Paul!
You should change your Avatar to MR A2 lol
The last pair of grey ones do look stunning though!!
Cheers Jeff

I cant stop buying them! I think its up to A2 number 9 or 10 now...

You know where you check the car classifieds, you get tempted and cant hold yourself back?
 
The first one looks a great spec, especially having done the mods. The black leather on the 90 Sport looks exceptional.
To complete the picture, I would be interested to know why you sold each of them.
