Blue A2 Leicester vortex kit

I remember, many years ago, it was almost a weekly occurrence that someone would join the club and start a thread asking for a low-mileage TDI with OpenSky, climate control, heated leather Sport seats, rear bench, DIS, cruise control, Bose and preferably a double-DIN dash. The forum stalwarts used to take it in turns to gently calm their expectations.
I appreciate that your wish list doesn't immediately seem quite so unrealistic; you're looking for an FSI in red with a Votex kit. That is without doubt still a needle in a haystack. Red A2s are extremely uncommon, as it wasn't a popular car colour during the days of the A2's production. Red paint is also notorious for lacquer peel, meaning those that are left often look tatty, making them prime victims of breakers. Of the red ones that are still on the road, you're looking for one with the least reliable engine, which is also a common cause of a one-way ticket to a breaker's yard. Assuming you can find a red FSI, it's then got to have one of the rarest optional extras available (the Votex kit). So, without wishing to pour cold water on your plans, there may only be one A2 that matches your description.
The solution to this is to broaden your net. Adding blue to the acceptable list of colours will help. Buying a Votix kit separately and having it fitted will help a lot, though also increases costs significantly. Considering engines other than the 1.6 FSI can also only help.

Best of luck with your hunt. No doubt the A2 Buyers Anonymous will be keeping their eyes out for you.

Cheers,

Tom

This makes you the forum stalwart here I think.

Do anyone have a photo straight from behind with Votex fitted?
Click on the Home page, at the top under media check out the photos. There is a White A2 with a Votex kit on, has a great rear view photo along with a selection of others. Probably the nicest A2 I've seen.
 
There’s a white A2 with Votex on eBay at the moment, seems to have a few issues but could be worth a look.
 
Great to hear that @Didgesteve is giving the car the love it deserves. I may be biased, but I reckon JRV is the best looking A2 I've owned.

There's a lot more love booked in, it's off to Gary at B & F Autos for cambelt/waterpump change this weekend, along with whatever else he can find.
I've been driving like it's stolen for 10000miles now and I haven't broken it yet, so I decided it's s keeper and needs some attention and care.

Birchalls white A2? That does not give the right impression since the numberplate surroundings are painted black.

Any with a photo straight from the back with Votex?
 
Well, here's mine as well......
