Shed of the Week: Audi A2
The Audi that will get you from Stuttgart to Milan on one tank

"Always buy on condition", they say. Trouble is, if you pay any attention to what they say, you run the risk of missing the odd gem. Like, potentially, this Audi A2.
These wee beasties rarely drop into sub-£1K territory, especially not when they're fitted with the desirable 1.4 diesel motor. This particular car's descent into three-figure territory must be down to its smutty Shedly appearance. It is, in every sense, a used car.


But 'used' doesn't have to be a dealbreaker. Indeed, in the world of pre-owned cars, 'used' is often better than 'unused'. If you're in the market for a cheap A2 - and plenty are - the only call you have to make is whether it's been abused.
The signs are reasonable with this one. It's been owned by the same family for the last six years. The vendor is refreshingly concise and honest about its pros and cons. If you don't mind a few scratches and an afternoon's work with the bucket, chamois and selection of primping products, you could quite quickly end up with a smart, cheap and usable example of a car that made its own little piece of history.

Great article! All this talk about the latest Jaguar cars; XE, XF and F- Pace and their aluminium construction; anyone would think they made the first mass produced aluminium car! We all know different of course...

From what I have read in various journals, ASF doesn't look like it will be used for any new Audi models. A great shame if that is the case...
