• Very rare Passat W8 Estate; a true ‘Q’-car

• Equivalent to some 97,000 miles recorded

Launched in 2001 as part of Volkswagens push of 'W' layout engines, the W8 engine Passat was derived from the same design as the W12 in the Bentley Continental GT and the W16 of the Bugatti Veyron. The W8 produced 277bhp and 270 lb-ft of torque that were mated to an automatic gearbox that delivered power to all four-wheels. The Passat was upgraded to suit its new engine and included a higher quality leather interior, front and rear heated seats, wood trim and four subtle tailpipes tucked under the rear bumper. Well-engineered, very comfortable, decently quick and remarkable value, these W8 Passat’s are surely a potential investment for the future with similar ‘Q’-cars gaining value!

Manufactured in 2005, the W8 Passat Estate offered was supplied new to the car-friendly climate of Japan. Residing there until being imported into the United Kingdom in 2022, the Passat is finished in the complementary colour scheme of Indigo Blue Pearl paintwork with Black leather interior upholstery and wood trim. Displaying the equivalent of 97,000 miles (some 156,000 kilometres), the Passat is offered with a history file that contains the original book pack in the wallet, including the stamped service book as well as a collection of invoices. Accompanied by a documented Japanese service history (rare for a Japanese imported vehicle), the Japanese and British service history comprises twelve services, as well as a current V5C document and an MOT until July 2025 with no advisories. Temptingly offered without reserve, the W8 is ever likely to remain a very rare cylinder configuration and therefore this Passat will likely always prove be a talking point at car events!
