Audi 100 Avant "Quattro" 1990 - Audi Quatro, just the words make "Petrol Heads" round the world smile. We all know the history of the all-conquering 4 wheel drive system that Audi created in the early 80s. Today it is up there with names like "Cosworth or M-Series" with all models of Audi so equipped being very desirable hence collectable and future classics if not already. This particular car, a 1990 model so in the last year of production, is coming out of long term ownership by an elderly gent, who has had it for 12 years or so. Equipped with the most powerful non turbo engine offered, the 2.3 litre 5 cylinder petrol version and a manual 5 speed gearbox. It has "adequate" performance and the prodigious grip of the 4wd, so making it fun to drive but still useable as a family car or load lugger .Engine oil pressure is very good and there are no nasty noises, smoke etc. Although there is some early history, the current owner has always maintained the car himself with 4 new brake discs, new brake pads and one new calliper being fitted less than 400 miles ago. One thing the vendor has bought to our attention is over the years he has had on going problems with the speedometer giving either random readings (high and low) or none at all, he has tried various speedo heads etc to no avail, each time resulting in him refitting the original unit. This as it is now, does not display the MPH unless you press the reset button hard while in motion?? He did change the speedo drive a couple of years back at the same time he fitted a new clutch (gearbox was out as an MOT tester had pointed out it had a leaky seal so needed replacing) but since then the clock has behaved in this way. With such little use each year and the way he drove it (slowly), he felt it was not worth getting involved with any more but wanted to let any new owner know. As far as the rest of the car goes, body work is very straight and will polish nicely (sorry about the poor pictures, wet day and dirty roads) Interior is excellent as you can see in the pictures, complete with the rear load cover and fully equipped. Electrics all work except the drivers window that seems to of stopped but was working last time he drove it (he thinks?).MOT is through to the end of June. The vendor does have a small amount of spares with the car which will go with it, things like a spare fuel pump etc and the cars original owners pack. There are also a genuine "Roof- bars" and a "Hide-away" tow bar fitted, apparently rare options.
