Audi Tradition 2013
Discussion
Dutch PON organisation (dealers: VW, AUDI, Skoda, SEAT, Bentley, Lamborghini, Porsche) thought it'd be a good idea to unite Horch, DKW, Auto Union and Audi cars and share the feeling. Hope you like.
F103 (1965 - 1972). Decent car and a sensible (FWD) alternative to period Fords and Opels. This 90 (90 hp) comes in such a great condition and colour.
Back in the days an Audi 100 Coupé S (1970–1976) looked like the Aston Martin V8 for the common man: still a pretty shape today.
Splendid!
This C1 (100) comes in a typical 70s colour. I love these unsaturated colours: they so let the shape of the car speak for itself.
Next: the real old stuff.

The old stuff:
Auto Union 1000 Sp, nice and stylish coupé. Produced from 1958 to 1965 for Auto Union by the Stuttgart coach builders, Baur.
Never saw one of these before: 1 litre 2-stroke triple.
Well over 171.000 of these smart looking thingies were built. Quite a few at display here.
German Anglia.

Monster bike:
Munch Mammut - rarely seen NSU car engine powered lump of bike. This is a 1971.
1.2 litre NSU car-engine ... Who said a bike-engined car was a good idea? About 100 brake (think Prinz TT).
Pretty it is not. Although beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I'd call this most impressive.
Stopping power ala 1971.
Some had one, this has two Weber 40s.
The owner - bought this in 1972 - is impressive too.
Cruiser. He mentioned the weight: 340 kgs . . .
Next: modern stuff. Well, 80s that is . . .

80s Audi cool:
Audi quattro - yup, with a lowercase 'q' - (1980–1991) was the first popular AWD production sports car. And made legendary by France girl Michèle Mouton, Hannu Mikkola, Walter Röhrl and the top-gun Stig Blomqvist. In their hands these 500+ hp rally weapons locked immortal Audi rally fame.
After that statement AWD became a regular Audi-feature soon followed by other brands.
How's this for an executive hack? This 30 years young C3 boasts 200 brake - quite a bit back in the days. Both a turbo badge and a quattro badge . . . wowzers, 80s king of the hill.
