Project Exclusive

I really like bright coloured A2’s, not particularly because of the colour, but because they are very handy to have when leading a social drive. Your Papaya was great for that, I could see it 20 cars back ?

Ha Ha Ha!!!

I never really thought of it as a beacon, I just assumed I was going so slowly that I was causing a traffic jam!
 
This makes it 3 (recently) known non-CS Imolas with @Imola Yellow and this german '05 TDI90 ?

I'm curious about this one's history though - it's clearly an RHD car, so how did it come to be ordered at a northern-german dealer?

Then there's the fact that it's such an early Exclusive, possibly even earlier than Imola Yellow's - I don't think I've ever heard of an AUA Exclusive apart from the dutch ambulance/doctor's cars. That's gotta make it fairly special even among the small amount of special orders.

Looking at the two of them, I guess the information, that custom paint was available from 11/02, is wrong after all.

Very happy to see this one being saved ?- others may not look at it twice before scrapping it without ever realising it's special. ?
 
Thanks good bit of info there that I wasn't aware of.

The log book is stamped up with Lomond Audi but the Audi dealer mark on the Warranty Entitlement (page 2) is VW/Audi, 123/21253, Autohaus Bartels, 27798, Hude.

So I'm guessing that it could have been RHD order for pickup in Germany? There is the same dealer stamp next to the first owner listed on page 3, with service adviser Frank Harms. The PDi is also listed as occurring in Germany on 27 Mai 2002 which again corroborates the German delivery.

The Audi wallet also has cards from Autohaus Bartels and a sales assistant Jurgen Schaffarzyk.

Definitely an interesting little beastie.

Back in the day it was an option to collect certain models of cars for German manufacturers from local pdi centres in Germany.
I don’t know if you all recall a boat full of cars going down in the channel in the early 2000s, this led to you being given an option to collect the car yourself on specific models coming from certain plants to aid in deliveries.
 
Well that parts to fix (or 90% of them) are now with my, thanks @ICowie and @A2Steve!

Hopefully this weekend will give me a good crack at it and as always, video to follow!

Do people prefer a montage or instructional video?
 
Hi Mrbroons, you said that you might be selling it on ? If so not sure if you have a list of buyers wanting it but could i possibly be added to that list? There's no rush from my side & as there is only a handful of white ones i don't see one of these coming my way, then a nice exclusive colour may just be the ticket! PM me with details (& cost) if this is something your happy to entertain?

thanks

Hi. Happy to see who is interested but not wanting to contravene any rules of the forum let’s just say it’s a work in progress and when the time comes it will be advertised officially. For now there is no sale but for me it’s not a keeper as I’ve got too many, just me saving it for someone else.

Mrbroons thanks for letting me know will await the finished article & so in the meantime will continue in watching your YouTube videos as Im subscribed to your channel.

cheers
 
@A2Steve Hi buddy, could you supply me a power steering pump bracket please, new video will be up soon on progress (sorry for the delay folks) and it will show me working through replacing the damaged crash leg.

Would love to hear what people would like to see whilst I'm in there and work that would interest people.
 
Hi James

The one on the current breaker is reserved to another member.

I have another breaker arriving Tuesday but it will be a couple of weeks before I’m at the stage of the front being off.

No worries mate if you can put my name on it pending if I get one sooner. @Clackers don't suppose you have one available do you?

Cheers.

James.
