RE: SOTW: Audi 80 Sport
Discussion
I'm well aware of what a Taunus is. The same era Audi 80 is pretty much a dreary FWD Cortina clone.

Sorry...but looks like a German Cortina to me....the quattro is a different matter though!
Err no. A German Cortina would be be a Ford Taunus made in Germany. It looks pretty much exactly like a Cortina because because they are the same design.Edited by GTEYE on Friday 24th July 13:28

Remember a guy in my sixth form had an 80 CD with all the extras (electric windows and sunroof) and a 5 pot engine. Sounded great and we all thought he was a spoilt git!!
I had one of these too. It was the second car I'd owned, and quite a trade up from the Fiat 126 I'd learnt to drive in! The 2ltr engine pulled well. I remember racing a Jag for miles down the M1 at 120mph+ (not big or clever, but I was young!)I paid £800 for it and sold it 9months later for £875
