Just wanted to say thanks for messages of support received, but sadly nobody has expressed interest in taking on the old girl , so unless someone wants to come to Derby with a trailer or recovery truck in the next few weeks and take her away she's for the breakers . Such a shame 🙁

Thanks Steve . I'm sure it's a case of when not if.

Couldn't agree more , lovely looking car , great colour , and a great drive. Got a b8 2.0 TDI S LINE Avant as replacement - nice car but build quality not as good as the old girl.

As I said, it's the good home rather than the money, but think it's scrap value is £200-300 so would be happy with that.

Thanks Magnet . More info as you suggested. Have owned car since 2017. It's in reasonable condition bodywise , has full leather seats and factory sunroof. Head lining needs replacing but otherwise interior good .Front end accident damage in 2021 - bonnet radiator and headlights replaced .Good deal of work done on engine in 2022 with rocker gaskets and oil seals replaced , new timing belt ,water pump and coolant hoses . Has now got fresh oil leak and plastic heater core tail has broken up. Needs someone with a workshop and the necessary skills to fix it. Believe not many examples left , so hoping someone is interested in preserving it rather than it being broken and / or scrapped. Love this car ,so it's not about money , it's about finding the old girl a new home .
