2005 Audi A6 3.2L Avant for sale but needs engine/timing repair

[SPD]

Hi everyone, I am new here, so please excuse the newbie tone!

My beloved silver 2005 ('55 plate) Audi A6 3.2L Quattro Avant petrol needs a new home, ideally someone who can work on engines/timing.  She's been our family's lockdown wagon.  Up until a few weeks ago, she has driven beautifully and our family has fallen in love with her.  She still drives (we cruised to Legoland this weekend!), however, she now has timing issues in the engine and thus occasionally starts to flutter and oscillate when idling.  Solving this would be too expensive/timely for me to fix (knowing nothing about engines) but one of you might fancy taking on?   I must sadly pony up and buy a more modern reliable (boring) family estate.

I bought her 1.5yrs ago for ~£3K, as a guide.

Let me know if you might fancy discussing.  My email address is spdomone(at)gmail(dot)com.

Car is based in South Oxfordshire (OX11).

Thanks!

Thanks for the interest.  Attached some photos from a month or two ago.  I will just get it cleaned then will send through some current pics; it's currently caked in mud and kid's debris!

Full Service History in logbook; in my ownership it has sailed through it's MOT (in Aug) and had a service from Audi Oxford (key / steering lock) and independent garage in our village (diagnosed valve timing issue on engine).
