Exterior

Finished in Sepang Blue pearl and equipped the sought-after manual gearbox, this low mileage V10 coupé is an attractive prospect indeed. The bodywork presents to an incredible standard and the whole car has been ceramic coated with clear Paint Protection Film (PPF) then applied to the front end, sills, and carbon side blades. There are no scratches to the paint, the piano black trims are free from any swirl marks, and the side blades are also immaculate with a deep glossy shine. The 19-inch polished alloys are generally excellent with little more than a small kerb mark on the nearside front wheel to report; the tyres are matching Michelin PS4s dated 2021 all round.

Interior

In keeping with the low mileage of only 28k the interior feels particularly fresh and clean. Fine Nappa leather extends from the seats to the steering wheel and other than some expected wrinkling and light surface wear on the driver’s side, everything looks first-rate. The car is very nicely spec’d with deeply bolstered heated and electric seats, carbon fibre inlays, a Bang and Olufsen 12-speaker sound system, reversing camera, satellite navigation, Bluetooth, Alcantara headlining, and ice-cold air conditioning. Genuine Audi floor mats complete the impressive original finish.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION

This beautiful example has only ever been serviced within the Audi main dealer network. The last service and brake fluid change were completed at Bath Audi in November 2024; for additional peace of mind, the car has just been inspected by our trusted local independent who were pleased to report a clean bill of health. Other notable work includes a replacement front diff in 2023 and new front mag ride shocks in December 2022. The R8 further benefits from a Top Gear Valvetronic performance exhaust which, coupled with the naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10, sounds utterly brilliant. Blistering performance with a thrilling F1 soundtrack and that all-important manual ‘box – what’s not to love?!

History File

In the hands of 5 registered keepers the R8 has driven just 28k miles from new; it was sold new through Birmingham Audi in March 2010. All services have been carried out by Audi main dealers, as listed below. Included in the paperwork is a thick raft of invoices, MOT certificates, all handbooks in the original R8 Alcantara document pouch, a spare remote key, and the current V5C showing only 4 former keepers.
