What “Drive it away” means
The seller says the car starts and drives and has a current MOT or is MOT exempt. This is the seller's declaration, not a warranty or a GeoffTrader inspection. Confirm its condition and suitability for your journey with the seller before buying.
1997 Audi A4 B5 1.9 TDI – Rare Factory Pearl White – Incredible History A fantastic opportunity to own a particularly special example of the increasingly sought-after Audi A4 B5. This is a 1997 Audi A4 B5 1.9 TDI, finished in the rare and beautiful factory pearlescent Pearl White. A lovely example with some carefully chosen upgrades, but what really sets this car apart is its history. Having managed to make contact with the original owner, I’ve now acquired an incredible collection of documentation dating right back to when the car was new. This includes every receipt, inspection, service record and MOT certificate, alongside the original PDI (Pre-Delivery Inspection) sheet and even a photograph of the car sitting on the dealership forecourt when it was brand new! Quite possibly one of the best-documented examples you’ll find. Specification & Upgrades * Rare factory pearlescent Pearl White paintwork. * Upgraded Audi S4 interior. * Genuine Ronal Bolero alloy wheels. * Bilstein B12 suspension setup on all four corners. * Fully functioning cruise control. * Electric windows. * Electric mirrors. * Electric tilt-and-slide sunroof. Condition & History * 200,000 miles. * MOT until February 2027. * Full service history. * Extensive collection of original paperwork. * Original PDI sheet from new. * Original dealership forecourt photograph. * Complete history recovered from the original owner, including receipts, inspections, services and MOT records. The 1.9 TDI is renowned for its durability and these B5s are becoming increasingly difficult to find, particularly in unusual factory colours with such an extensive and traceable history. This isn’t just another high-mileage old Audi. It’s a car with a genuine story, an unusual specification and documentation that follows its life from day one. A brilliant opportunity for an Audi enthusiast, B5 collector or anyone who appreciates these increasingly rare modern classics.
