Took me 6 months of lurking to find mine, my spec was pretty much the same as your requirement, but without the sunroof as I don't like blocked drains!
Be prepared to travel - I went to Edinburgh, fun drive back though |

W12 short wheel base is not really sporty. Quick, torquey, heavy nose and big understeer. The only short wheel base W12 known in the UK with B&O is pre facelift and doesn't have a sunroof..... and it changed hands about a year ago so don't expect it to pop up again for a while. Look for an S8, but expect a compromise. I hate that word, but the reality is that top spec S8's are few and far between. Fortunately, B&O was a popular option, on top of a reasonable starting spec. Facelift with B&O with solid history shouldn't be too hard to find, but expect to pay a premium. The tidy ones don't seem to be losing any value these days. The V10 is a joy and well sought after. Potential inlet manifold issues north of 100K, but otherwise very reliable. High mileage bargains are possible if the manifold is sorted. Happy hunting

Thank you for your input IT, much appreciated, I'm not new to Audis, previous cars include a B6 1.8T, 2'x B5 RS4s, a B5 S4 which was a widebody project, and 2 x B7 RS4s, currently in one of them being an avant.
The D3 world I am new to, so all advice and pointers are greatly appreciated. There are a load of prefacelift low mileage ones going for 15-17k... Which is kind of my budget, having put aside additional maintenance costs when I eventually find one! There was a facelift with 112k miles, which caught my eye I spent a lot of time debating whether it was worth a look but the mileage and lack of history put me off (lost service book apparently! Is the Bose and B&O worlds apart? Apart from the real lights, front bumper and fogs, is there any differences cosmetically? Facelift and pre? Finally, is there (I'm sure there is), a definitive buyers guide on here for potential owners? This would be a great help if any one can point me in the right direction I would love to hear from real world experience rather than a YouTube or magazine feature/reviews Last edited by N11LS_J; 10th November 2016 at 02:08 PM. |
