Anyone into old Audis?

[PaulC]

Just wondering if there is any interest in older Audi's say 70's-80's.

I used to have a 5 + 5 many years ago and at the time was a fantastic car.

Also had a couple of Foxes but we don't want to go too far down that path.

Before the fox there was what I suppose was the equivalent of an Audi 100? anyone know what that was. I think early 70's. That was a beast!

I loved driving early 1980's - 100's, 200's and 200 turbo's real plush and cornered like an oversized lounge suite on wheels.

Pity they didn't have TV's in cars back then, closest I got was a black and white 30cm with a cigarette lighter adapter.

There aren't too many real Audi's on this site (to my knowledge), which is a bit of a shame. I dont think I've seen any old audi on the road, a few late 80's early 90's 80's and 90's, but that's about it.

I've got an 1985 Audi 80 Sport, which is pretty bloody nice, but actually handles alright, surprisingly almost!

hi Paul,

have you sussed out www.ozaudi.com ?

The first Audi's you are thinking of is the Audi 90 Super. Very expensive when new even back then. Not many left now though.

That's mine. There was a rare 100 manual (100KW) 5cyl from 78' or so for sale near me recently for $700 or so.

Cool. Jarred your 80 looks very similar to the 5 + 5 i suppose that was the evolution line.

Thanks Gareth checked that out and joined.

Evorobin, Had one of those too but unfortunately not the quattro, It was a 1991 90 Sports it went faster because I did a hot up by sticking an S4 badge on it. They are a great car and awesome back then. Was the best car I have owned till I got a my current A4.

Hi I served my apprenticeship when Audi and VW were in the same bed back in 1988. I was Pre delivering Audis like Robins Quattro (Happy days)
Back then i must admit we did take them for granted and im glad i took at least a couple of pics. Here is a couple i had 1st is my Beloved UR with the Mighty RR engine and the 2nd is my Coupe with a 7A. The Coupe pics were a kind of before and after a timing belt and water pump replacement. I recently bought an 80 and have a thrwad running on that, its 2.3 5Cyl Ke jetronic
Cheers





Cheers and sorry about the quality of the pics

Now thats a nice quattro, I've got a VW/Audi promo video of these things running rallies when they blitzed everyone including some great footage at Pikes Peak. I'll have to look and see if its still in the cupboard and see if my old VHS still works crack a few beers and dream of the days when I was young.
