There appear to be many wannabe masochists on this thread, so fill yer boots…

. I think the level of masochism is drastically increased in Aus, given how far you'd have to drive them home!Fast Bug said:
Lovely. And surely a bargain as far as old Fords go.

Imagine turning up for a date in that. It'd be like shooting fish in a barrel; it would turn you directly into Hugh Heffner just by sitting in it. You would have to wear a fur coat, Aviators and a Bandito moustache not to be upstaged by the car of course.

These Passats seem to have all gone missing. "COLOUR CODED WHEELS" A very secret option that didn't appear on the invoice and was only available on silver cars.

Who needs a time-machine when you can literally climb into 1984.

I don't think I have ever seen one of the original square shaped 200 5T Turbos. I used to see a metallic blue 200 5E CD out and about occasionally - but even that was about 15 years ago. Both were incredibly rare, even when they were new. The pricing was quite ambitious IIRC, and their depreciation hideous. They're very cool cars now though, with the American style front!
Audi always seemed to struggle to sell their expensive models (Quattro aside) back in the Eighties. I don't think they had quite enough image to sell alongside the big BMWs, Mercedes E and S Class, and Jaguars. The 200 and 200 Turbo versions of the car in the advert were virtually invisible on the roads when new. I only recall seeing them parked at dealers. The V8 even more so. I'm not sure I have ever seen one! I don't think the problem was the car, but the price - and what else you could have for the money. The Audi was a world beater in 100 guise, but the 200 was basically the same car set at a very different price-point.
Good to see one here!
I have actually been in an original 200 - unfortunately not a 5T, but a colleague had a non-turbo 200 - like all the straight 5 Audis, a lovely noise! My uncle had one of the second generation 200 Turbos, but didn't like it and chopped it for a new XJ40 when they had just come out.Audi always seemed to struggle to sell their expensive models (Quattro aside) back in the Eighties.

But the original just appeals, looks wise:
I wish Audi could find their way back to this kind of understated look...

It is interesting to see these two together in the same thread. It shows how the very minor changes to the Audi 100 made for the 200 can make quite a big difference to the way the car looks.

Liked it a lot - was a great Q-Car to embarrass 318s,320s etc.
Pinched from the Bargain Basement Thread but I think it fits here ->
Leather looks a bit mouldy though!

At first glance I thought it was just a gutless DOHC but no its got the lovely V6.Nice find. Seems good value too? A bit of a left field choice back in the day, can't imagine they sold many.

I noticed the wrong plates. Having bought and run a few old Audis I don't see that car worth the advertised price. That white Coupe Quattro didn't look like the advertised price to me either.
This thread is a like a weekday SoTW substitute.

Double headlights
Indicators / Fogs in the bumper
Front splitter
Rubbing strip
Bigger wheels
That's it, I think.

In my case it was a Motorsport Elise, she wasn't impressed. Still married me though
