How rare is your car?

4 green ones left, mine is the only 1986…

According to that, mine is the only White 1984 Audi Coupe on UK roads. Not sure that's right though, I guess it uses DVLA records which aren't perfect!

Yeah, salt, pinch of.

S2 it compares all petrol Audi 80's in green (16 apparently), not just 80 S2's. Even the DVLA site probably gets closer with Audi 80 S2 turbo (vice Audi Coupe S2 turbo) at 33 road registered.

Our Ur is a unican (their spelling, not mine) but there's a couple of other black 85 Ur's belonging to members here.

Our S3, 2010, only 27 grey ones left apparently. (Offers over £25k will be considered).

My brother's GT is one of only two black 1986 GTs on the road apparently.

And it can't find the RallyRep... I've checked the garage today, it is still there

Good for a laugh, mind, thank you.

The bloke opposite's knackered MERCEDES V350 van/ dog wagon is one of only 7.... Should I tell him?

Apparently my Ur doesn't exist either

Apparently my 1985 Ur is 1 of only 2 grey and 1 of 47 remaining from that year.
I've no idea how is accurate that is!

When we got ours we had the VR document changed from grey to black, because if it was nicked, plod would have probably not registered ‘grey’ as a ‘graphite metallic’ car. It is essentially a black car to most people.

For the average person…

Black and white, or…

Grey and white.?

urquattr085 · 19-06-23, 05:32 AM

Not a bad idea at all.
Most people see mine as black, it's actually Panther Metallic which is very similar to yours.

I might consider doing the same

I would not be surprised if your was the only white ‘84 coupe for the year, UR’s are rare but I at least see one of those (other than mine) most years…

I suppose it's possible. I know of one other A reg white Coupe on the road but of course that could be a 1983 A reg.

I haven't seen one on the road for a very long time, 10+ years.

My UR is SORN, so doesn’t register in that search.
