Having seen this car I can attest it’s stunning in Melbourne red and has a fantastic provenance!

Hi Stuart.
I have given it a lot of thought but the reality is I use the car so very little. It’s a sin and a shame. Plus when they stand for too long problems develop so I think it’s time to move it on. I am going to look at i3s for running around in. We bought a new Passat R Line Estate with 272 GTI engine and all the toys a short while. That we will use for longer journeys and the i3 for running about. See how we. I can always change things around again.
Cheers
Ian

Original pristine monogramed mats. Could be interested if the buyer doesn't get them as part of the deal???

Thanks for your best wishes Wyldie and Andy.. I will miss the Z if it goes. It is without doubt my most favourite car and I have had well over 50 over the years. :)

I knew it would be worth the wait. That, sir, is absolutely bloody fantastic.
I would have that in a heartbeat if my wife was not averse to autos (God knows why). GLWTS :thumbsup:
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Thank you kindly sir. In my younger days I wouldn’t touch an auto but they make driving so much easier in congested traffic. If you want to do it yourself the paddles work quite well. You will have to get her educated. :wink:

Such a shame to see you are selling Ian - I know how much you loved your 35is! :cry:

But if you don't use it much because it doesn't suit your current circumstances I suppose needs must. :roll:

I saw this car about 3 years ago (when I bought the 295 wheels it had originally) and it looks stunning. Plus the seller is a true gent!

It has to be a good buy for anyone looking for a 35is in a stand-out colour.

Iain.

If there ever was a "forum car", this ticks all the boxes. It's a 35is, it's in a pretty colour, it's got very nice wheels, it's got good mileage and it's only 1/2 an hour from me. I am sorely tempted.
Anybody want to buy a 18i with a remap and 25k miles and new brakes all round to help me out here? :D

Go on - you only live once, I am defo going 35is next year but going to be specific with what I want, this one would tick every box in 12 months time its an absolute cracker.

I am certain that will shift quickly :thumbsup:
