Humbled by the lovely comments and thanks to Jonny and team for a fantastic day - and yes - Jonny genuinely as nice off screen as on !!! Car is now booked in for a spot of recomissioing so looking forward to driving it again 👍
This is honestly the perfect Sunday evening viewing… it’s really relaxing to watch and I always wish it was longer . Thanks again Jonny its awesome content
Got off easy with this one … beautiful weather, cooperative cars … you’re going to get spoiled if any other barn finds fire up this quickly! Definitely a handsome car, especially once it got shined up. Thanks Jonny.
We owned three 5-cylinder Passats (two carb, one fuel injected). I've always fancied owning an Audi 90 Quattro. The sound of the 5-cylinder is so special. Audi 80 Sport was such a nice looking design.
I just realised a friend still has his 1983 Audi 80 quattro stored away. Last used in 1997... He hasn't used his Porsche 944 in the past 8 years either.
Many great memories come flooding back. A lady in a road near my parents had one of these. She swapped it for the next generation in the early 90’s. I used to drool over them on my way to school. Keep up the great videos ❤
I have a friend here with a farm full of classic cars and there are so many places like this all over the UK it blows my mind each time what's out there!
Thanks Johnny : your ch, has been keeping me going all week I haven’t been well all week & watching your show has kept me cool & going : lots of love keep up the great work x
Owned a 1985 Audi 80 Sport in Mars Red with steel sunroof between 1987 and 1994 - Reg B133 NGW. Brilliant car - essentially a four door sleeper GTI with a boot - Happy Memories.
I had an '86 Jetta GT, which really was a Golf GTi with a boot.. (Only the badge was missing the I, the I was defiantly on the engine!) it was quicker than my mates black 80 Sport and even more of a sleeper
Please!!!! Do a ( Barnfind Back ) series when you go back to the cars and check what has happend since you where there!?!?! This was a cool video.. The 80 Sport looks really good!!
Yes Johnny,just got home from an afternoon out with the grandson and what have I got? A barn find from you,having a beer too,loving your work,keep it up✌️
Old McDonald (Peter Jones) had a farm, and on that farm, he had Two Audi sports, Two Range Rovers and a Discovery. Another just brilliant barn find video, from the legend that is Jonny Smith. No better way to round off the week, thanks Jonny & Pete. 👍🙂👍
Hi Jonny, what a find, nice guy and brilliant cars, I have to say your brave cranking theses cars up with cambelts that haven't moved in 20 odd years. The Audi would be a cracking restoration car, cleaned up really well. Great video, really enjoyed it. Alex.
Great Jonny, fond memories came flooding back. I used to own an almost identical 80 sport on a C plate, mine had the tweet style cheque interior. A bit of a wolf in sheep’s clothing back in the day. Drop a cog on the bypass watch the front end lift like a speed boat. Wish I’d kept it happy days. Love the barn finds keep em coming.
We had these in the States but they were 4000s - my father in law had a 1986 4000S Quattro Sedan, in line 5 cylinder engine, locking diffs and 5 speed manual, fully optioned in dark graphite over black leather. FANTASTIC car, virtually unstoppable in any road conditions or inclement weather. And yes, they are now very rare. LOVE these cars!
Wow what a thing ! I remember being 14 and a family friend of my dad's pulled up in a grey one of these and we all thought it was such a piece of prestige sportiness at the time. Think about it everyone else's dad including mine were running cortinas, cavaliers, allegro 's etc... and then this pulls up! Thanks for keeping bringing that nostalgia back! Top episode.
In 1996 I had a 1990 80 sport as a taxi in Newcastle. Same lump as an 8v golf gti and it was a beautiful pearlescent blue and came with the gauges in the centre console and split rim alloys the same as a Quattro. So smooth and quick. I loved it.
@@TheLateBrakeShow unfortunately not as it was crashed into not long after I got it and I was gutted,so it was de-taxied, repaired and sold on and replaced by a cavalier Gsi 16v (glacier white, lovely) which was even quicker, especially after I tweaked it a bit with a few mods 😉. That taxiied for 2 years, back when we could afford to run taxis on petrol.
I owned a 80 sport of the same year back in the early 90s. In red which, I think, was the most popular colour at that time but used to go a bit flat over the years. Galvanised, which was a big plus-point. That lovely long-stroke GTi engine was a joy. I'd have one now as a daily driver.
Wow. One of the best cars I ever owned . Owned a red C plate Audi 80 sport in 1991 I think. As a young lad it was a seriously fast, smooth drive. I remember the gear change was so slick and it had a beautiful factory smell inside. The 3 gauges made it even more sporty . I recall it's had brown tweed cloth seats? Not sure now ... Either way I loved it and it made its mark as I've owned way too many cars that didn't. When it was jet washed ....just magic to watch!!!
Jeezos she cleaned up so beautifully! The whole audi 80 lineup is so close to my heart, absolutely loved every bit of this episode so huge thank yous! Grew up with a 91 model, such great cars.
I had a car wash round when I was a kid and I used to wash one of these. That and a lovely black Scirocco both on the same street were my favourites. I used to dream about owning them, never did sadly.
Nice to see Shropshire on the Late Brake Show. We have a lot of hidden classics in this county for sure. Always worth rubber necking into open barns when out running / cycling through the countryside here. Nice.
I had a Y reg one of these from 95-2000 EVH849Y. Coupe cookie cutter alloys and no side rubbing strips. Model launched to celebrate Audis rallying success. 1.8dz engine code and only difference was a finned alloy sump instead of a steel one on the golf. I’d love another! Brilliant to see and good luck!
Always liked the 80 Sport & that'll be lovely with a little recommissioning. Barn finds, can't beat them, pulses start racing when you're wearing the BFF in the intro. Well done Pete for putting it away properly
Had one of these (same Zeimat Silver, decals and Ronals) back in the day, it’s still on the DVLA but no MOT history, so must also be in a barn somewhere. fabulous vehicle. Thanks Johnny, great memories..!
That VW/Audi 1.8L 8v is bulletproof. I have my original 1986 Scirocco with 350k miles and I’ll I’ve ever had to do was to change the timing belt and water pump.
Loved this. Real trip down memory lane. I had TEH 457X, a 1981 quad headlight gun metal Coupe GT, followed by a 2.2 coupe ‘platinum blue’ double headlight D439 NBW like the 80 sport (which also had the internal audi coupe window stickers), and finally a red ur quattro 2.1 10v D279 RKJ with split rim gold BBS wheels, which had quattro in the rear windows. ❤ this episode
What a car! I had a white one in the 80’s, loved it. A real wolf in sheeps clothing with that gti engine. A family friend saw it soon after i bought it and said, “when you want to sell it, let me know and i will pay whatever you want for it!” He bought it a few yews later and yes, he paid what I asked. I should have kept it!
I had a Graphite Grey one in the early 90s, still remember the reg B393OBY , affectionately known as Boby ! It was a lovely car to own and drive, quick enough for a 20 year old at the time and a bit different to all my mates Golfs and 205s 😊 Thanks for the video and a trip down memory lane 👍🏻
My late father and his business partner bought Audis each in 1984 the partner bought a similar sport yet my father opted for the SC I was gutted as a 12 year old. Thanks for the memories great barn find very personal and nostalgic for me
Thank you, Jonny, for this easy and unruffled re-animation of this Giugiaro-designed classic. The four-door model and Coupe are the essence of Rallying in the mid 1980s and here in North America sales reflected their popularity/practicality. I was surprised to read the seemingly modest horsepower figures on the screen, but as I recall, 110-130 horsepower was typical for cars in this era. This one stands out in all its stickered and bespoilered glory. Love the Ronal wheels and Rally lights, too!
These Barn finds never fail, to have me with tears in eyes seeing this lovely Audi sport come out of its sleeping shelter and be once again shown a little love and tender care I always had a soft spot for classic Audi would love a 80 Quattro but only got a original factory jacket from the team Great video Jonny 😊
This was an interesting watch. I had 2 new Golf Turbo Diesels, one in 86 the 2nd in 87. In 88 when our 3rd child came along I decided I couldn’t afford to run a new car any more. The diesel Golf was so popular that the VW dealership bought it back off me for a good price. While I tried to find a decent used car they loaned me a red one of those 80s. It was a lovely thing to drive, but in the end I chose practicality & went for a Passat estate. I can still remember the smile that resulted from touring around in that Audi. 👍
Nice work Johnny and team, great car choice. Another from the list of Dad’s old cars that I wish we’d stored a bit longer - many getting scrapped sometime in the 90s
Had two 4000S Quattro's. Oh, the memories. Test drove the keeper, once owned by the regional rep for Audi USA. BBS wheels, 5 speed manual Black with tan interior. Got out on I-85 in Atlanta to 2-285... no brakes. Nothing. I said not a word. Drove back in the rain. $1000 for the car became $400. I drove it home to the mountains of NC and fixed it over the weekend. I kept a box of door handle kits in the trunk. I could fix them pdq.
As a VW/Audi fan a great barn find, as always epic work Jonny always enjoy, keep it up every barn find upload is great fully appreciate the effort involved 👍
This is my favorite episode. One of my favorite cars of all time. Had a brilliant 84 Audi 4000 Quattro for ten years. Best car I ever owned. 5 cylinder. Better than any Audi, Merc or BMW I owned since. Fuel pump failure were notorious on these cars.
I was driven to school in the mid 1980s in one of these. My friends father had one and he drove it like he was being chased by the police every single morning.
This was one of the first cars I ever drove back in 84. Very underrated when everyone was going for Cavalier SRis. Apart from the engine, what made this car was the relatively low ratio gearbox which allowed it to make the most of the modest power available.
After hitting my head numerous times on a partially open garage door I winced everytime you passed under it! Another great vid of a car I wished I'd bought.
I owned an 80 sport in the mid 90’s. I sold my XR2 to buy it, and much preferred the Audi - with Bilstein shock absorbers it was faster than my XR2. I liked the Audi so much that my next car was another 80 Sport
I loved this one. i had an 80SC from the same year in metallic green and put about 250,000 miles on it before she was finally scrapped at 350,000 miles. It was probably the most reliable car I have ever owned and I can only remember replacing one light switch. Other than that it was unbreakable and served me so well. I do remember that the headlights were really dim so I can understand why the spots were fitted.
Love it. I had the same shape 80 Quattro back in the late 90s when i was a student. Bought for £350! Such a good car, never went wrong. Can you imagine an 18 year old student getting insurance on an equivalent model Audi now?! 😂
This video reminded me of my Grandfather who bought a brand new, brown Audi Fox in 1978. This thing was like a spaceship to 11 year old me having grown up being carted around in 1970s American behemoths. The trunk (boot) of his car was full of spares and, most importantly, the Audi factory shop manual. 500 pages of glorious black and white exploded views of every single bit of the car. I would spend hours poring over this tome every time he and my Grandmother would visit from the City. A couple of years later, we picked up a '78 Ford Fiesta (my first car, after the '75 Impala I learned to drive in hung up its spurs), inspired, no doubt by Granpar's Audi. Thanks for this video!
Humbled by the lovely comments and thanks to Jonny and team for a fantastic day - and yes - Jonny genuinely as nice off screen as on !!!
Car is now booked in for a spot of recomissioing so looking forward to driving it again 👍
Thanks Pete!
Really enjoyed that, the Audi looked great after it's wash. Good luck with the recommissioning
Great show, Pete really loves his car collection, great to spotlight a forgotten model, really enjoyed the show.
Loved that episode. Where can I get that orange toolbox from? Hubbies birthday soon and it would be perfect!
@@janinemills6732 I think it's a Kendo Foldable Tool Trolley
This is honestly the perfect Sunday evening viewing… it’s really relaxing to watch and I always wish it was longer . Thanks again Jonny its awesome content
Couldn't have put it better myself.
Precisely, I'm having a beer in the garden then I will watch Harry's garage next, cheers !
Cheers 🍻
When I was a kid it was Songs of Fucking Praise on a Sunday evening, kids today don't know they're born. Epic video
@@morganthedruid1 And that Morgan, is my favourite comment out of all the comments on this video.
That is my dad! Yay. Definitely clipping the scene of him pressure washing the car.
Perhaps you can get involved and get some of these cars back on the road?
@@althejazzman - Ditto. Shame to see them rot. Too much of this happens.
Jonny, you really need to help us all and start doing follow ups on all the barn finds. Barn Finds: Where are they now!?
That quick snow foam detail at the end was delightful 🤌🏻
Glad you liked it. Perfect evening for a good wash down.
@@TheLateBrakeShowon that side of things
@@TheLateBrakeShowCinematics and the 80s music was a vibe 👌🔥
@@TheLateBrakeShow Johnny I think you should try and make an offer to buy it and restore it
This brought back wonderful memories of my late dad, who would’ve been 84 yesterday, he bought one of these brand new in 1982, I loved it
Got off easy with this one … beautiful weather, cooperative cars … you’re going to get spoiled if any other barn finds fire up this quickly! Definitely a handsome car, especially once it got shined up. Thanks Jonny.
There is something very satisfying about watching a dirty old car get cleaned and brought back to life.
29:30 slow-mo power wash with what sounded like "80's synthwave style" backing music, love it.
We owned three 5-cylinder Passats (two carb, one fuel injected). I've always fancied owning an Audi 90 Quattro. The sound of the 5-cylinder is so special. Audi 80 Sport was such a nice looking design.
I just realised a friend still has his 1983 Audi 80 quattro stored away. Last used in 1997...
He hasn't used his Porsche 944 in the past 8 years either.
No way! Can you email us on the show with more details please?
@@TheLateBrakeShow I need to talk to him first.
@@LennartMakinen Get it done please, that would be a cracking video.
My friends Dad has an early Range Rover camper with pop up roof and a Mk2 Jaguar tucked away.
@@WIPEYOURLENZ Range Rover Camper? That must be incredibly rare? I didn't even know they existed!

Makes me feel young again watching this and remembering these cars… a better time ❤️
Absolutely, couldn't agree more!
I have a friend here with a farm full of classic cars and there are so many places like this all over the UK it blows my mind each time what's out there!
What a lovely bloke with a great car. Shout out to all the farmers out there. Thank you all.
👍🏽
Bloody loved seeing that emerge from under the snow foam! Definitely a win, and great sense shown in not running it too much just yet. Nice one Jonny!
Thanks Johnny : your ch, has been keeping me going all week I haven’t been well all week & watching your show has kept me cool & going : lots of love keep up the great work x
Thank you for the comment, and we are chuffed to have helped improve your tough week.
Yes you are right. I am very impressed with your tools box.

One recent-ish one, a Reliant Scimitar can be followed on Retropower’s channel.
Loved this one, I had an Audi 80 like this an the quad headlight GT as mentioned in the video. Loved them both.
Yes Johnny,just got home from an afternoon out with the grandson and what have I got? A barn find from you,having a beer too,loving your work,keep it up✌️
Thanks! ✊🏽
Fantastic. Enjoyed every single minute. Can we all go back to the 80's ? Appreciate all the work involved in these brilliant barn finds 👏 🙌
Love the 'orange wheelie tool thingie!!!! Genius you are!!!!
I actually said aloud: 'Oh I say', then Jonny says 'I know. You're impressed'. I need one of those.
Looks like its a beta box ... £400 !!
£149 and made by Kendo. Not cheap but very cool.
The jet wash / snow foam at the end was the chefs kiss!
Genuinely one of the best Car Series anywhere. Love your format. First class.
Old McDonald (Peter Jones) had a farm, and on that farm, he had Two Audi sports, Two Range Rovers and a Discovery. Another just brilliant barn find video, from the legend that is Jonny Smith. No better way to round off the week, thanks Jonny & Pete. 👍🙂👍
I love an 80’s barn find, another one that hasn’t disappointed 👍
There's a young lad round my way has a black one. Lowered. BBS splits with gold spokes and polished rims. It looks magnificent
I went on a business trip to Holland 40 years ago , the son of the company owner took me out to dinner in his 80 sport , great car ❤
What a great looking car. It's brilliant to see it again. The rubber whip aerial was a blast from the past, made me smile.
Amazing how quickly it started given the length of time that it was sitting. Testament to how well they are built!
Hi Jonny, what a find, nice guy and brilliant cars, I have to say your brave cranking theses cars up with cambelts that haven't moved in 20 odd years. The Audi would be a cracking restoration car, cleaned up really well. Great video, really enjoyed it. Alex.
Great Jonny, fond memories came flooding back. I used to own an almost identical 80 sport on a C plate, mine had the tweet style cheque interior. A bit of a wolf in sheep’s clothing back in the day. Drop a cog on the bypass watch the front end lift like a speed boat. Wish I’d kept it happy days. Love the barn finds keep em coming.
We had these in the States but they were 4000s - my father in law had a 1986 4000S Quattro Sedan, in line 5 cylinder engine, locking diffs and 5 speed manual, fully optioned in dark graphite over black leather. FANTASTIC car, virtually unstoppable in any road conditions or inclement weather. And yes, they are now very rare. LOVE these cars!
Lovely part of the world. Great way to see and learn about our beautiful country and meet our fellow countrymen.
I am loving the new Mobile tool trolley & Barn Find Rescue Pod - Well done!
Wow what a thing ! I remember being 14 and a family friend of my dad's pulled up in a grey one of these and we all thought it was such a piece of prestige sportiness at the time. Think about it everyone else's dad including mine were running cortinas, cavaliers, allegro 's etc... and then this pulls up! Thanks for keeping bringing that nostalgia back! Top episode.
In 1996 I had a 1990 80 sport as a taxi in Newcastle. Same lump as an 8v golf gti and it was a beautiful pearlescent blue and came with the gauges in the centre console and split rim alloys the same as a Quattro. So smooth and quick. I loved it.
That's a very slick taxi. I bet it did a lot of miles.
@@TheLateBrakeShow unfortunately not as it was crashed into not long after I got it and I was gutted,so it was de-taxied, repaired and sold on and replaced by a cavalier Gsi 16v (glacier white, lovely) which was even quicker, especially after I tweaked it a bit with a few mods 😉. That taxiied for 2 years, back when we could afford to run taxis on petrol.
I owned a 80 sport of the same year back in the early 90s. In red which, I think, was the most popular colour at that time but used to go a bit flat over the years. Galvanised, which was a big plus-point. That lovely long-stroke GTi engine was a joy. I'd have one now as a daily driver.
A friend of mine had an 80 sport which he called the ‘silver bullet’ loved that car !!
I really do enjoy your barn finds (and all your other content). Jonny, one of the greatest motoring journalists in my opinion 👍🏼
Wow. One of the best cars I ever owned . Owned a red C plate Audi 80 sport in 1991 I think.
As a young lad it was a seriously fast, smooth drive.
I remember the gear change was so slick and it had a beautiful factory smell inside.
The 3 gauges made it even more sporty .
I recall it's had brown tweed cloth seats?
Not sure now ...
Either way I loved it and it made its mark as I've owned way too many cars that didn't.
When it was jet washed ....just magic to watch!!!
Jeezos she cleaned up so beautifully! The whole audi 80 lineup is so close to my heart, absolutely loved every bit of this episode so huge thank yous! Grew up with a 91 model, such great cars.

love old Audis like this, another great video! Thanks Jonny
Bosch K Jetronic with that warm up regulator is a challenge .
I had a Y reg one of these from 95-2000 EVH849Y.
Coupe cookie cutter alloys and no side rubbing strips.
Model launched to celebrate Audis rallying success.
1.8dz engine code and only difference was a finned alloy sump instead of a steel one on the golf.
I’d love another!
Brilliant to see and good luck!
Wonderful car and so good to see it out in the sunlight. Hope he gets it back o the road.
Great Barn Finds, as always, Jonny. Great Sunday evening viewing.
Love these cars and the decals are wonderful.. I had an X reg Coupe, a GT5S when I was 22 and really wish I'd kept. Thanks for the nostalgia
First one I've enjoyed in quite a while. Well done Jonny (and gracious owner). 👍
Always liked the 80 Sport & that'll be lovely with a little recommissioning.
Barn finds, can't beat them, pulses start racing when you're wearing the BFF in the intro.
Well done Pete for putting it away properly
That sunroof is after market guys, I had a sport with a factory and a sport with an aftermarket just like that one. Factory sunroof's were metal.
I knew it was an 80 sport from the quick glimpse through the side of the garage, liked the look of these more than the coupe
Had one of these (same Zeimat Silver, decals and Ronals) back in the day, it’s still on the DVLA but no MOT history, so must also be in a barn somewhere. fabulous vehicle. Thanks Johnny, great memories..!
My old boss in 1988 had an Audi 80 Sport ... loved it
That VW/Audi 1.8L 8v is bulletproof.
I have my original 1986 Scirocco with 350k miles and I’ll I’ve ever had to do was to change the timing belt and water pump.
She’s a beauty. I learned to drive in an 86’ gt coupe. Ocean blue. None left these days. Can’t find any 90’s models either here in Canada.
Loved this. Real trip down memory lane. I had TEH 457X, a 1981 quad headlight gun metal Coupe GT, followed by a 2.2 coupe ‘platinum blue’ double headlight D439 NBW like the 80 sport (which also had the internal audi coupe window stickers), and finally a red ur quattro 2.1 10v D279 RKJ with split rim gold BBS wheels, which had quattro in the rear windows. ❤ this episode
cool car ... and those decals 😎
Loved this one! I had those alloy wheels for my very first car, a MK2 Golf with 1.3 engine, memories!
A friend of mine had one of these in the 80's. I remember being driven in it. I myself was driving a Talbot Samba cabrio at the time.
What a really nice guy... and well done Jonny.
Very good find Jonny and thanks to the owner for having the good sense too put them away.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
What a car! I had a white one in the 80’s, loved it. A real wolf in sheeps clothing with that gti engine. A family friend saw it soon after i bought it and said, “when you want to sell it, let me know and i will pay whatever you want for it!” He bought it a few yews later and yes, he paid what I asked. I should have kept it!
I had a Graphite Grey one in the early 90s, still remember the reg B393OBY , affectionately known as Boby ! It was a lovely car to own and drive, quick enough for a 20 year old at the time and a bit different to all my mates Golfs and 205s 😊 Thanks for the video and a trip down memory lane 👍🏻
Such a good looking car. Often i'm not a fan of Decals but they really work so well on this.
My late father and his business partner bought Audis each in 1984 the partner bought a similar sport yet my father opted for the SC I was gutted as a 12 year old. Thanks for the memories great barn find very personal and nostalgic for me
I'd forgotten what a good looking car the 80 Sprt was. Great vid and I hope the car is sympathetically restored to origional spec.
So Good So So Good. very very very good. Thankyou so much for sharing.
Thank you, Jonny, for this easy and unruffled re-animation of this Giugiaro-designed classic. The four-door model and Coupe are the essence of Rallying in the mid 1980s and here in North America sales reflected their popularity/practicality. I was surprised to read the seemingly modest horsepower figures on the screen, but as I recall, 110-130 horsepower was typical for cars in this era. This one stands out in all its stickered and bespoilered glory. Love the Ronal wheels and Rally lights, too!
These Barn finds never fail, to have me with tears in eyes seeing this lovely Audi sport come out of its sleeping shelter and be once again shown a little love and tender care
I always had a soft spot for classic Audi would love a 80 Quattro but only got a original factory jacket from the team
Great video Jonny 😊
I used to own a blue one of these in the 90's and loved it, wish I could of held on to it!
I live in the rolling Shropshire hills, and I know there's treasure like this everywhere I turn. Farmers rarely throw anything away.
Find them and then email us!
This was an interesting watch. I had 2 new Golf Turbo Diesels, one in 86 the 2nd in 87.
In 88 when our 3rd child came along I decided I couldn’t afford to run a new car any more.
The diesel Golf was so popular that the VW dealership bought it back off me for a good price.
While I tried to find a decent used car they loaned me a red one of those 80s.
It was a lovely thing to drive, but in the end I chose practicality & went for a Passat estate.
I can still remember the smile that resulted from touring around in that Audi. 👍
As a big Audi fan boy, I always appreciate to old Audi barn finds….well done👍👍
Nice work Johnny and team, great car choice. Another from the list of Dad’s old cars that I wish we’d stored a bit longer - many getting scrapped sometime in the 90s
Had two 4000S Quattro's. Oh, the memories. Test drove the keeper, once owned by the regional rep for Audi USA. BBS wheels, 5 speed manual Black with tan interior. Got out on I-85 in Atlanta to 2-285... no brakes. Nothing. I said not a word. Drove back in the rain. $1000 for the car became $400. I drove it home to the mountains of NC and fixed it over the weekend. I kept a box of door handle kits in the trunk. I could fix them pdq.
Sounds like a mega car for the money
The Passat engine was also the same as I stuck one in my Audi 80 Sport.
Loved these cars at the time - think it's a design that's stood the test of time
For me the best episode ever I have an A reg 80 sport in white as my daily driver.
Thank you!
As a VW/Audi fan a great barn find, as always epic work Jonny always enjoy, keep it up every barn find upload is great fully appreciate the effort involved 👍
Always a handsome car, Stirling Moss raced one in the 80's
The car Stirling Moss raced was a two door, not available in the UK, 1.6 'GLE'. A model which was discontinued when the 1.8 GTE arrived.
This is my favorite episode. One of my favorite cars of all time. Had a brilliant 84 Audi 4000 Quattro for ten years. Best car I ever owned. 5 cylinder. Better than any Audi, Merc or BMW I owned since. Fuel pump failure were notorious on these cars.

It was probably the most reliable car I have ever owned and I can only remember replacing one light switch. Other than that it was unbreakable and served me so well. I do remember that the headlights were really dim so I can understand why the spots were fitted.
LOL - you gotta love enthusiasm ... regardless of the subject. Love this channel 🙂
One of the local farmers had a white one with white wheels I recall back in the eighties. Brilliant car
Love these Barn Find videos. The styling of German makes from that era still look sharp today.
Love my old 80 Sport - 1986 C31HOF in white. Had it for years and did my mate after me
Love it. I had the same shape 80 Quattro back in the late 90s when i was a student. Bought for £350! Such a good car, never went wrong. Can you imagine an 18 year old student getting insurance on an equivalent model Audi now?! 😂
Great watch this, and what a nice bloke Pete is. Some real classics.
This video reminded me of my Grandfather who bought a brand new, brown Audi Fox in 1978. This thing was like a spaceship to 11 year old me having grown up being carted around in 1970s American behemoths. The trunk (boot) of his car was full of spares and, most importantly, the Audi factory shop manual. 500 pages of glorious black and white exploded views of every single bit of the car. I would spend hours poring over this tome every time he and my Grandmother would visit from the City. A couple of years later, we picked up a '78 Ford Fiesta (my first car, after the '75 Impala I learned to drive in hung up its spurs), inspired, no doubt by Granpar's Audi. Thanks for this video!
