That Audi looks lovely, they did make solid good looking cars back then in my opinion.

Looking at the ad though it reckons 85bhp, from 2.0l ! My mate had a 1.8 and I don't remember it being too dire, surely that's not right?

It's not right no.  The fuel injected 2 litre beater is about 115 horsies from memory.

85kw, so 113bhp. They only weigh a bit over a tonne so that’s not too bad, especially if it’s a manual.

With an autobox like mine, the 2.0E cruises well and keeps up but isn’t about to snap your neck at the traffic lights.

I had no idea how different those B3 and B4 Audis are. I thought the B4 was just yer typical facelift. The B4 is quite a few inches longer in the arse end for a start!!!

Thanks Skizzer, I'm not sure why I didn't think of that!

I thought the same Bo11, having looked I see now it was a B3 my mate had. £1200 doesn't look too bad but I can't imagine the market is very good right now.

The TDI I had was only 90bhp, with an auto 'box to sap a bit more power, and that kept up with traffic OK.

Right then you absolute mingebags.  Stop running about in shitty old nails that cost you 2 days pay and an ounce of belly button fluff and buy a proper fucking car already.

I don't care how much it is.  It's glorious.  And if you add up the amount of money you've wasted on totally fucked Citroens and utterly hopeless soviet junk - then you'd be most of the way to the asking.

Chop chop now.  Don't disappoint.

I had one of these about 12 years ago.  Not quite* as nice as that one but still a very pleasant thing to roar around in, as long as you didn't see your reflection in a shop window.

I paid £500 for mine.

This is the rub.  I remember seeing them at around the £795 mark and thinking "aye but the fuel".  How fucking ignorant was I? I was probably doing about 15k a year at the time and could easily have got a little runabout as well.  Wanker.

Still, I suppose - via man manths - you can still justify it.  Through the lense of "Old Skool Ford Yo" it's still not cripplingly expensive.  You can spend 3 times this on an old Escort which will, I'm certain, deliver under a third of the joy.

Is that Scorpio painted Tundra Green? It does look nice, but I don't really 'get' Fords. I think I must be too sophisticated or something

Another that I'd honestly own, I've grown a soft spot for them of late....

£1495.

Nice to see one that's not silver or black too! 

But I guess that after 19 years & 110k miles that the battery will be nothing other than a paperweight by now?

Those b3s never seem to have attracted the usual braindead VAG crowd so have always been pretty cheap. I like them, though they're very German in a way I can't quite quantify.

The hybrid batteries in these things seem to last surprisingly well tbh.
