1800cc Audi 100's. How many left?
I was thinking the other day (yes really!) I dont class my Audi as particularly rare but apart from one I saw on ebay a while back I dont think ive seen another type 44 A100 powered by an 1800cc 4 pot engine. Ive got an old parkers price guide and the model was only built for a couple of years, between 1983 and 1985. Mine is on a 1986 C plate but was manufactured in 1985. Its certainly difficult to get parts for. The model simply isnt listed in many parts catalouges- NLA is fair enough but being told your car doesnt exist can be frustrating when looking for bits!
Ive no idea how many were made and imported into the U.K but being the poor relation to their 5 pot breathen I doubt many were coveted and preserved and many years have passed since the last one chugged from the production line.
Does anyone know of any others or have an idea of how many are left? The idea of preserving something unusual would make the act of forking out piles of wonga keeping the thing on the road slightly less painful!
