So, thought I should get round to updating this thread.

For starters the spec (costed options) from the original order:
- SPECIAL PAINT: ALPINA-BLUE-METALLIC
- LEATHER UPHOLSTERY LIGHT GREY
- BLACK DASH BOARD AS A SPECIAL ORDER
- REAR SIGN SWITCH-TRONIC
- ANTITHEFT-WARNING-DEVICE
- HEATING FOR DRIVER'S DOOR LOCK AND WINDSCREEN WASHER JETS
- BUMPERS AND SIDE SKIRTS IN BODY COLOUR
- GREEN-BAND WINDSCREEN
- ROOF RAILS
- ELECTRIC SLIDING SUNROOF
- ELECTRIC WINDOWS FRONT AND REAR
- AUTOMATICALLY DIPPING INTERIOR MIRROR
- FRONT CENTRAL ARMREST
- SEAT HEATING FOR FRONT SEATS
- HEADLIGHT CLEANING SYSTEM
- AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING
- CRUISE CONTROL
- ON-BOARD COMPUTER V
- BURR WALNUT INTERIOR
- M-TECH MIRRORS
- WHITE INDICATORS

In terms of it's history, this is what we've managed to deduce from paperwork and via contact with the last long term keeper.

2000: Purchased by last long term keeper, based in London

2001: Car was hit in the rear and shunted into police car in front by a taxi in Marylebone. Repairs included front bumper, grilles, headlight, tailgate, rear bumper. All repaired by Holland Park (HR Owen). £7k bill
(This probably explains why there is no Switch-Tronic badge on the rear)

2011: Moved from London to Gleneagles (still with same keeper)

Sep'17: Sold to Perth Audi, who sold it "trade" to the dealer in Surrey we purchased from.

Repairs were carried out by Holland Park, it's not on VCar, it's been aligned satisfactorily and the paint/panels all look good. Plus Sytner's didn't pick anything up when they assessed it recently. So I think it must be a decent repair
