They were/are a very nice car & are highly tuneable. I think they work especially well as an Avant. Manual transmission is becoming increasing difficult to find in a performance saloon now & all the quattro versions were manual only. Forget the automatic front wheel drive version, these turbo motors need to be harnessed to a manual 'box. All the usual Ur-quattro tuning tricks apply, so your wallet is the limiting factor on power output. The best bet is to get one of the run-out 20 valve models. The suspension probably feels a bit soft by today's standards - but that's nothing a set of KWs wouldn't fix. The other great thing about the 200 is that they're relatively light, slippery & of course a quattro.
I drive a 200 quattro turbo myself (late 10 valve model with torsen diff).
I also have a 100 quattro turbo avant which will end up looking like a 200 after I've finished with her!
The 20 valve turbo 200's were never imported to the U.K. - only the later S4/S6 was imported with the 20 valve engine in the longer chassis. However, I do think a few reside here in the U.K. now but they're quite rare.
And you'll be surprised how well mated the 3 speed auto is to the turbo'd 5. It actually suits the car.

if its a late one is it a E or unsold F plate?I also have a 100 quattro turbo avant which will end up looking like a 200 after I've finished with her!

yes , right about no 20v in uk
in the mid 90's i have a 100 avant quattro with a tim stiles racing engine in it which was bloody quick then with the help of Kim Collins of QST i fitted A RR-code 20 valve turbo with a MTM chip ungrade it was bloody awsome ran the 1/4 miles in 12 dead top speed was insane !!!! had full 30mm lower HR suspension on it with 17" rims looked great !!!!! great car took it all over europe sold it to a guy from Audi motorsport .....wonder were it is now ??????

I think this is your old car on the dragstrip: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=YL6T6uYg22wThere's another couple of videos from the same user.

so yours in my opinion must be one of the last one(s)
Yeah, it's quite rare I suppose. The avants probably even more so.TuxMan said:

Was it running roughly 270-280bhp? If so I had a run in with this at castlecombe and its bloody quick!!
Yes thats the one had a MTM chip made about 270bhp , very quick car ,just found out its been stripped of all the best bits and scrapped 
bit of a shame as it was a awsome car ,it was always a great car to catch people out in they never expected it to be so fast ....perhaps i can feel another project coming on !!!!!
