I love(ed) that 190e that he is saying is a 2.0. Until I clocked the 1.8 badge on the back 
And the DVLA don't know about it, but at least another pic shows the badge has gone. It does look fantastically crisp though.

Perhaps the best Audi ever made - 73k miles, and only £650! I was taken to school in an early one of these and still remember the clunk of the door. http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C494117
My dad had the pre-facelift car, with the smaller grill, on an F Plate "back in the day"After a lifetime of British Leyland and Ford ownership, it was a revelation. It was a massive leap forwards in engineering, and I agree with you, probably the best car that Audi has ever made. The A4s that followed the Audi 80 were always compromised by decisions made by accountants.
This age of Audi 80 was utterly, utterly bulletproof. My dad bought his when it was about three or four years old, with high ish mileage for the time (about 20k a year had been put on it). He'd previously swapped cars every other year, but kept his 80 for the next five years, punting it up to well over 150k. It never ever broke down, or failed in any way, with only routine basic maintenance required, which we'd do together on the driveway.
Nothing ever snapped off, or went shiny through wear, and it was silent and tight as a drum throughout his ownership.
He only got rid of it as he became entitled to a company car, and the fleet policy meant that a Mk2 Mondeo entered service after it. I was knocking 20 years old about then, and far too interested in health endangering escapades around the countryside in 205 GTis to recognise the merits of the Audi. It wasn't a fast car, or engaging drivers car by any stretch of the imagination.
It was what an Audi should be, and always used to be. Brilliant and comfortable, stress-free automotion, with a restrained yet respected aire of class and quality ..... Vorsprung Durch Technic

It was the most reliable car i've ever known. He had it 3 years doing a little over 160,000 miles and nothing ever went wrong just had a service and a set of tires every other month. They weren't motorway miles either it spent it's life on the North yorkshire moors been driven on it's door handles, It was stolen form Harrogate and recovered in Leeds city center, my mum had an accident with an Omega in it the Omega was written off the Audi needed a headlight and front bumper. My dad reckons it's still going being used as a tank in somewhere like Iraq with an anti aircraft gun bolted to the roof.
By contrast the last company car he had was another Audi a 54 reg A4 3.0 avant he says that car and him had an understanding he hated it and it hated him says it was the worst car he's had it was badly built, unreliable and uncomfortable when he retired it was just over a year old had broken down twice and had a few small issues. After it was handed on to someone else in the company it had gearbox failure and a few other major issues it didn't hit the normal 3 year mark before it was disposed of.
