Early car with manual gearbox and highly rated 4.2litre V8

The Appeal

The S4 brought Audi’s rally-honed Quattro technology and performance to its mid-size executive cars. The B6 version of 2003 added the firm’s superlative 4.2litre V8, rated by a certain well known TV car man as one of the best engines of the last 30 years.

This low mileage S4 is one of the first convertibles built and finished in popular and eye-catching Nogaro Blue. It is a standard car that has clearly been cared for with good MOT history including cover until October 2023. Swift, practical and with that burbling V8 soundtrack, this versatile Audi offers capable, handsome style to any new buyer.

The Exterior

Desirable and distinctive Nogaro Blue paintwork, often associated with fast Audi saloons
Aluminium wing mirrors rather than later faux-aluminium versions
Bodywork in very good condition, just minor marks to be aware of:

- Occasional spots of paint chipping, though nothing particularly major
- Black trim on driver’s side door slightly delaminated
- Small scuff on rear bumper
The convertible roof is in good condition with no visible rips or tears
However, it could benefit from a clean and reproof

The Mechanics

Superlative all alloy 4.2litre Audi V8 40valve engine developing 339bhp

Summary

The S4 B6 is rated as one of the best versions of the firm’s high performance Quattro models, thanks in large part to that sonorous 4.2litre V8, a peach of a powerplant that gifts 339bhp to the press-ahead driver.

The S4 convertible combines that entertaining performance with practical, four-seater drop top qualities. This low mileage car looks handsome in its striking Nugaro Blue paintwork and looks ready for summer.
