I've only gone and done it again _

Where are they now?......They shouldn't have rotted as they are galvanised bodies.

I had a 100 Turbo saloon H reg and ran it for 160k trouble free miles over three years, a lovely car.

Only found out afterwards that it had been breathed on by Audi Rally boys as it had started out as the Audi GB Finance Directors car for its first 8k miles after which I bought it for a song. The boost guage was always showing 2 to 3 bar and it wouldnt run at all with the turbo pipe disconnected.

Used to regularly do 140 on the continent and occasionally 130 plus on the M42..............

I would love one now as I honestly think it was the best car I ever owned.

Cheers,

Tony

Back in the days when Audi made interesting cars! I like those, good work.

I reckon the scrappage scheme got most of the older Audis. It's a shame, as I've always have a bit of soft spot for the 90 in particular.

The scrappage scheme was a .

Good luck with the car OP.

[Sat90]

Yeah, the scrappage scheme was a pisser. I'm doing my bit to save them though. I have an 80, 90 and now this. Looking for an older 100 saloon and a 200 within the next few years once I have room to store them all.

I really want an S2 Avant, but they've appreciated to a ridiculous level over the last 3 or so years. I nearly bought a ropey but perfectly servicable coupé for £2,800 back in about 2011- now you see cars advertised as "spares or repair" for double that!

Ooh, that's really rather nice.

[TonyRPH]

Nice, but something is wrong with the alignment of the driver's side headlamp, which appears to be dropping down behind the bumper.

The bigger surprise is the fuel tank is severely corroded and wouldn't pass an MOT, which it surprisingly did on the 8th of July this year. So apart from buying a new one from Audi at a cost of £1,017, I'll be finding a 2nd hand part or having it refurbished.

Woof! A bag for a fuel tank? It would be cheaper to get one custom made from stainless steel.

Scrappage got those that weren't killed by the cost of parts or wonky electrics; Avants were rarer than a rare thing anyway so rarity came as standard. Preserving originality isn't ever going to make you rich so you might as well succumb and fit something fruity with a turbo.
