"Interesting" Audi Conversion

The Marketplace Cars For Sale / Wanted

I don’t think I know this car, or owner, despite being from Lancs & the sunstrip/sticker. MarcP recognise it perhaps? Could be a good track car for someone… Used cars for sale | PistonHeads UK

Interesting car…it’s being talked about over on Seloc so seeing the sticker thought I would see what I could find here…but if you don’t now it Pesky then no one will…Interesting that the window winder is taped up in the interior pic. Thats the way to fill confidence in a buyer

I wouldn’t worry about that - it’s nothing major, just a bit of a pain to refix the glass to the winding mechanism - they have a habit of becoming detached just at the wrong moment!

If someone is after a car for mainly trackdays (rather than posing/polishing ), then it merits serious consideration imho. It appears to have all the right upgrades, & personally I also think it looks great in that colour scheme (no surprise there I suppose! ).

As to the price - can’t be far short (if not more) of �20K of mods there in the engine/bodywork/paint/brakes/wheels/suspension, so for someone considering going down that route, it’s priced in the right ballpark for a completed job (assuming it’s been done properly, & I have no reason to doubt that).

Cheers Bernard

In that case, I would be very, very surprised if it’s not a cracker, as I’m sure it was whilst David owned it.

This was it a little while ago…

Usual uninformed crap being spouted on Seloc, by wannabees

Indeed you have, Chris, but don’t worry about it, mate Anyone who is genuinely after/thinking about converting to Audi will realise what’s involved, & the cost of getting a car to that spec - the rest are just dreamers

Looked better in gloss black imho, but a very cheap car
Interesting that converted cars seem to be dropping in price but nice originals are holding their value, a good colour low mileage exige is still worth 18k-20k but a converted equivalent car is only 2-4k more expensive after maybe 15k of mods

Ah, yes remember that one for sale…only my opinion but it looks much better there.Wonder why thery changed it…That wasn’t that lomg ago either so who ever bought it didn’t have it for long.

Original cars will now always hold strong on value. As the cars get older an original untouched car will fetch more than a converted car…thats just how the market goes as they are seen as collector cars.

I made an offer on that as knew the guy who bought it off david, sadly it was turned down and i couldnt sell my honda elise anyway so it never happened, as for seloc, jesus that place is worse than Pistonheads

He’s selling 4 other cars on Pistonheads,so I take it he’s a car dealer.

I think he may have just bought this:
