Additional Information:

I bought this old barge about 4 years ago from Minidan, so it has some RR credentials!

 

Its been my daily driver since then and its seen some changes,

 

1) LPG Converted, 250 miles to a tank of gas (£30)

2) Golf GTI head fitted with larger valves

3) Powerflow stainless exhaust,from the downpipe back

4) Wolfrace street octane wheels with new wheel bolts and spigot rings.

5) Carb from an Audi 80 sport with gas mixer on top under a chrome pancake air filter.

6) New carb mounting rubber- no more leaks!!

 

Its also had numerous new parts fitted to keep it ship shape-

 

Over the past 24 months or so its had new rear drums, wheel cylinders, brake shoes plus new front discs and pads, new heavy duty rear springs and shocks (no saggy bum syndrome!) Recored radiator, new clutch, clutch cable, CV gaiter e.t.c. Basically its been looked after and not run into the ground.

 

Bodywise its had some welding around the fuel filler pipe (this is a very well hidden common rot spot) plus the rear jacking points have been replaced where a rubber bung has caused the metal to rust.

 

The front wings have bubbling on the arch lips, but this hasn't got any worse since I've owned the car and new wings are supplied. The PSR door has a scrape at the bottom but a new door in the right colour is supplied too. There are also some small dents here and there but not much for a 25 year old car with 175k on the clock. It still looks smart and attracts lots of positive comments from passers by.

 

The interior is blue fabric and in very good shape with no rips or tears to the seats, the boot area is also in good order.

 

The 1.8 engine runs great on gas and the Audi is brilliant on the motorway- it seems to cruise at 80mph and its fun keeping up with the flow of new repmobiles!

 

Bad points-

 

Engine weeps oil from the rocker cover

power steering pump weeps (never bothered me but good spare supplied)

Odd thumbnail dent here and there

scabby front wings- new ones supplied

light scrape to bottom of OSR door- new one supllied

Runs a bit shite on petrol, never bothered me as I hardly ever run on petrol!

 

Just remembered, there's a slight blow on the downpipe somewhere, disappears when warm. I can't find it and it went through the MOT OK. Could be a manifold gasket?

 

I broke up an Audi 100 CS a couple of years ago and have stacks of spares to keep this CC on the road for a good few years yet.

 

Reason for sale? I'm a bit bored of it now and have recently bought a Volvo 240 estate to play with. I'll really miss this Audi when it goes!

 

 

The Audi and its replacement!

There's one of these down the road from me in very faded red. It's such a loooooooooooong car.

[Lankytim]

They are- the Wife calls mine "the aardvark" coz its got such a long hooter!

[scooters]

Very nice..one of the few audis I like....was this not the most aerodynamic production car in the world when new?

[Volksy]

Thought I'd strayed onto RR then..

I still have the clear indicators if the buyer still wants them!

[Luxobarges_Are_Us]

wow that's a proper bargain. The tax alone is worth 150 quid!

GOOD CAR THIS:

 

[dollywobbler]

Indeed it is. Wish I'd got a photo of it delivering the Renault 21 Monaco to me. MISSED OPPORTUNITY!

[Lankytim]

Its done alot of A-framing, considering I don't actually own an A-frame!
