Should do very well- trying to decide whether to point out that the 20 pages of restoration spreadsheets in the picture gallery are mine.

Would definitely add value to the auction.
Did you guys add the Euro headlight adjusters when you did the rebuild? (hydraulic?)

The headlight adjusters were original to the car- some of the early US market '78s had them as well, William's Minerva car (#107) has them.

Interesting. This is a confusing history to me. Was it restored twice in a 2 year period?

Rob, did you restore the car? As with any restoration I always wonder if they are "fully sorted" after all that work. This will be fun to watch. I wonder what the reserve is??

Rob,

Isn't this the car that you, Paul Cain, et al restored about 3 years ago??

Not sure it'd be possible to write a more confusing blurb on a car, but BAT managed to do it. Yes, this is #241 that I finished restoring between February and August 2019. The last 4 pics before the video gallery are from after the car was stripped for paint, not indicative (at all) of the original paint condition.

The restoration actually began in late 2015 at another shop, got disassembled and (beautifully) repainted, but then stalled out. In late 2018 the owner reached out to WIlliam and I, and we agreed to finish the restoration- it arrived in Irvine on 2/24/19, and William and I knocked it out so it could be shown at Werks Reunion that August. I posted a bunch of pics from the project in the thread below:

Some of the chronology can also be found here.

EDIT: I reached out to the seller to ask about commenting on the auction, haven't heard back yet, don't want to stick my nose in the auction without their blessing.

After 8 of the last 10 auctions didn't meet reserve, this ultra low mileage S4 just set the record for an automatic on BaT at $112k!

Always like seeing different colours come up for sale. Right now there is an '87 S4 manual for sale in Germany with L999 paint - like a bronzy-gold. Not really my cup of tea but I think it actually suits the car. Asking €43,000 done 140K km.
