So, come on in your droves .......contact me and offer me your MK1 80 Audi, so I can love it and look after it.

I think Practical Classics was specifically talking about the Audi 80 S - which as a Typ 82 was always a rare beast. There are a few Ls, LSs and GLSs dotted about though. ;-)

Well, to be fair.......they did'nt really specify which ones their data was referring to, however they did show a photo a pre 1976 one, so I am assuming they meant the Mk1 , pre facelift.

I have never been lucky enough to see any of them in my neck of the woods.........the owners must be avoiding me, probably dreamt it in their sleep that I would be stopping them and throwing money in their faces if they give me their cars and signed the logbook.

This leaves me even more hell bent on finding one now....................the owners better watch out !

There was one for sale in Milton Keynes about 18 months ago. The guy couldn't sell it for love nor money.
Was a '75 model is red with black vinyl roof.
Think he let it go for £400 in the end.
It had MOT but had developed a problem with the fuel supply which the owner had got the time to sort out. Probably something very simple as well.

*%"$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...............i don't normally swear, but just did !.................its the story of me life.............i always seem to hear about things after they are gone...............i live a life of missed opportunities.

i could have been anything i wanted to be..................could have married the best woman in the world..............could have had the best job and an Audi 80 MK1 if only I had'nt missed the opportunity !

I have seen a few in Germany and France for sale......if I can't get a right hooker, then, I'll go over and get a left hooker............( i meant a L.H.D ))......................not a prossie !

Phone the owners on 07092787969

or text me on 07971 661221 or PM me or email thepimp@b41ley.com and I'll pass on your details.

The lady who owns it acquired it from her late Father who was the second owner from approx 1 year old.

As such, she'd like to see it be restored rather than scrapped or broken.

I had a look at it but it has too much welding for me, but I said I'd help her sell it by putting photos and details on here.

I got it running after I stuck a new battery on it (not included in sale!) but the carb linkages are seized so I couldn't rev it up.

All pics were taken yesterday except the side shot.

from side (in 2005 though)


from front


Engine bay


I have lots more pics of detail shots if you can PM or email me.

PLEASE SAVE IT!!!!
