So what's this one then? It lives at the top of my village. I've narrowed it down to a 1985 1.8 Audi thanks to a vaguely educated guess, thinking either a Coupe or a Quattro. MOT ran out april 2012, currently SORN'd.
If it helps, the alloys looked like quattro alloys. I figure if it is what I think it is, it may be of interest to some folk on here.

Well it's not a Quattro turbo, but it is a Coupé and could be a Coupé quattro (I can't remember when they were introduced but I think it was around C or D, B was '84 model year.

Ah nice, just managed to dig up this image of a B-reg coupe quattro. Looks identical from the bits I could see.

[Yertis]

Well those are quite sought-after in the classic Audi fraternity – they're very nice cars.

BTW if it has an original-looking twin exhaust it's the quattro, otherwise apart from the badge the quattro is virtually indistinguishable from the FWD Coupé.

if you do buy it I have a spare two piece screen for a panorama

and loads of the stainless trim that came off a Bedford Val

oh, and both rear corners, a full front 'chop' and the headlight panel

the stuff you keep 'just in case it might be useful one day'.......

Not after buying it myself it's for someone on here - Plaxton Bus Beardies

You should shift the parts easy in that group.

Being an 1800 makes it a Coupe - the coupe quattro was a 2226 engine.

If you do check the number of wheel bolts, I think the quattro had five where as the fwd coupe only had four.

No. The Coupé quattro also has four wheel bolts. The urQuattro has five.

Absoluely. My first modern was one of these, 1800 coupe (not a GT), carburettor, no black around the windows, manual windows, high mileage for age but a nice car. I had forgotten about the fake front fog lights, though the real things are so useless it wasn't much of a loss.

Sure is, i have owned one for over 20 years

Here's another one....

[droopsnoot]

Looks like mine, but the wheels are cleaner. Interesting wheel centres on the offside.

If I were in a better position financially, I'd be very tempted to give the owner an offer for it. Maybe one day, hey?
