Hello everyone.
I have been on the lookout for a cool, and retro ULEZ com[pliant car for a few months due to my location just outside London Borough Croydon, and the proposed (and hopefully challenged) expansion.
My brother suggested the A2, and I am really liking them. I have been looking around for a while, getting a feel for the market etc, and learning about issues, foibles etc. Mechanically, I am very capable as i currently have more than one Rover 800.... (See below).
My budget is around £2500, maybe more. Must have AC, preferably a dark interior, good history. The usual stuff. Double DIN head unit with Bose sound would be very nice, but I know they are hard to come by. I do like my music.
The Coupe has am Alpine CRA 9812RB head unit, Alpine Sub and dedicated amp, with Kenwood 4 channel amp, Pioneer 8" 3 way in the stock holes rear, and Alpine 6 1/2 component fronts, and Dynamat fitted.
One thing my brother said about the A2 is that the audio in these is superb because of the all Aluminium bodywork. I am looking forward to this.
I have a checksheet of things to look for on my hunt, but anything to be excessively wary of when looking? 1.4 and 1.6Fsi
Going to look at a car this week hopefully, reg VK54KWJ.
I will hopefully become a regular user of this forum, keeping these cool cars alive.
Enjoy the non Audi car pix below.

One of my others, in front of the Coupe. A late model Nightfire Red fastback Vitesse. This is being sold at present to make way for the Audi. It was not in a very good state when I got it and saved its life.
