Two grand!!! Christ on a bike...Just imagine how much he'd be asking if it wasn't rotten

[retrogeezer]

Isn't that Audi just lovely - really would love to own that.Pog, was it you that had the 74ish 100 that someone bumped into on the way home from collecting it?

[pogweasel]

Not I!I believe it was one of "the management". I did buy an eighties eighty ( ) but sold it immediately (like within half an hour immediately).

[Mr H Sceptre]

Yes, indeed it was Mr Leyland who purchased said Audi 100. On the way back from picking it up from Cornwall to taking it up to Leicester for the RetroRides show, I smashed into the back of it. Bent bumper. Gives it more character.The Audi is currently off the road, though I believe Mr Leyland is hoping to get her fixed up in the next few weeks. Lovely car.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Ha ha that Audi has suffered a heavy scene taxage hasnt it. Was it not on eBay a while ago? I bet if you put it on there it would make £4-500 at most.What a lovely car though. I see that someone has come up with a great as to what to do with it - leave the rust holes and old paint, fit some fuchs alloys, and lower the suspension to the max. OMG what a radical suggestion, how on earth did you think of it!!!

The engine is a 1700c Audi unit which is petrol fueled but has a higher compression ratio than most petrol engines which is halfway between a normal petrol and a diesel engine.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!

[pogweasel]

Quite. Reckon you could fix them holes, Bo11o?I agree that £400-£500 would be top whack. Sure it's probably unique, but this don't make it £2k. If anything it counts against it. Imagine..."Hello, Hadrian?""Yes?""Have you some front wings for an Audi Estate? They only imported 6 here.""Bwahahaha. Go away and stop wasting our time, don't you know we are busy knocking up ill-fitting glass wings for escorts?!!!!!!"etc.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

I probably could do something with those wings, but the curvature looks quite tricky for someone who is equipped only with a vice and some hammers, so i would not be sure how well it would turn out! I bet some wings for that would turn up on eBay germany if you waited long enough though, it would just be like a Morris 1800 or something to the bratwurst munchers wouldnt it, theyre bound to have some bits lying about.Did V8Mike have a punt on this when it was on the bay? I bet he'll know what it went for if so.

[bigstraight6]

WOW, ultra rare tin! shame about those front wings, the rest of the bodywork looks ok though, column gear change to

[garethj]

Those early Audis had a Mercedes derived engine, I remember they were fairly high compression but not unusual for the day when 5 star was an available petrol, not just a forgotten 80s poptastic group.Wonder what money it'll go for?

[Guest]

The VAG (oo-er) scene absolutely baffles me, mad money for a load of smoky old vans and the like.Someone should probably tell him that rare doesn't always equal expensive, because it's a cool car and it will just rot into the ground if no one buys it. And no one will buy it for 2 grand, surely. Unless the seller puts a Hoodride stencil on it or something.

[marinast]

I'm sure there's plenty of those back in the Fatherland.

[MrRegieRitmo]

I smashed into the back of it. Bent bumper. Gives it more character.

Deliberately? That sounds like a very Top Gear thing to do!

[mk2_craig]

I can't see any replies to the topic; has the seller threatened to strip and race it yet??
