anyone remember ( or better still know of one for sale ) an audi 100, the 1982 to 1991 c3 shape ? the ones with the 0.30cd sticker in the rear quarter light. seeing as these cars are'nt suppost to rust why are there none out there ? i quite often look for one but with no luck, plenty of later ones but the early ones are no where to be found. when i was at school, my headmaster had a c-reg 100cd 2.2 5 cyl auto and i went in it a few times and loved it, probably left it too long now, should of looked harder years ago !

I used to have a 100 2.2 sport. Apparently quite a rare model which was produced to use up the last of the pre-facelift bodyshells...  I'm reliably told that there was only about 220 of these made, i've only ever seen 2 others apart from this one. 2.2 straight-5, sports seats, factory lowered suspension, red calipers & Fuchs alloys! Shame i had to sell it really, at the time i had to fund the repair of my Senator 24v and the Senator won!! But still the best FWD car i've ever owned and i'd love another one!! |

That's the one! Wrong wheels though, and don't look as good as the originals. |

Theres still a few about if you look hard enough. I have a 1.8 4 cylinder C reg avant. Theres a bit of grot in the bottom of the drivers rear wing, plus a few scabs on the front wings but nothing too bad. Its supremely well built and nice to drive, theres a lovely "thunk" when you shut the doors. Feels very modern for an old motor! Its not for sale BTW.... The problem is their age... Nowadays cars don't need to be worn out or rusty to end up on the scrapheap. All it takes is for a car to be out of fashion, need a new exhaust and a tyre or two or need an alternator and its off to the scrapyard.... Modern marketing by car manufacturers paint a very poor picture of anything over 5 or 6 years old. To Joe Bloggs and older car is a deathtrap, child killer and the reason the ice caps are melting. Heres a 100 I found in the local breakers. Very shiny and well looked after, it looked like it had been "detailed" recently. The underbonnet area was immaculate. I think it had 250k on the clock, not that youd know by looking at it. Even if the engine had failed a secondhand one for £50-£100 would have seen it back on the road. Maybe it had been scrapped just because the owner had bought a newer car and needed it gone. Sad waste of a nice old Audi anyway...  It donated its rear door handles to my 100 though, so a little of it lives on! |

Still lots of them here..... Can actually see a very clean 2.2 quattro caravan from where i`m sitting now  Must be because cars are expensive in norway, so they don't get thrown away, cause they are good cars |

yeah great cars,i had this one below was fitted with a Audi S2 engine with about 275bhp,conversion was done it 1996 and was mag featured.Even though it was a horrid colour i really wish i hadn't sold it,bloke who bought it stripped it and put the engine/porsche brakes etc onto an Audi 200 so it kind of lives on i suppose.  |

We almost bought one instead of an Audi, but as said, finding one is tricky.

I didn't actually do the original conversion on it,was done by an audi specialist in sussex.In the magazine article it says something about it being a hard job,but in 1996 those engines were still relitavely new.The 5 cyl engines are all the same mounts etc so theres no too many problems with that.Loom is the hardest part,shouldn't be too hard though as i know plenty of people who have done this on the UR coupes etc. |
