The Audi Convertible was a very aspirational car from very early on in its life and got the Audi brand in front of a wider audience than just the motorsport fraternity. The pivotal point for this model though was Princess Diana choosing one as her daily driver in 1994. Designed to compete with the German luxury mid-sized vehicle segment, which until then was clearly dominated by Mercedes-Benz and BMW, the B4 Audi 80 and its variants were highly successful and popular. The B4 saloon was discontinued at the end of the 1994 model year. The Cabriolet, however, was carried on until 2000. As of the 1998 model year, it underwent a few minor yet visible touch-ups in its European version, such as gently redesigned bumpers and instrument clusters, projection lens headlights, and more options available.

A late example, this 1999 Cabriolet was supplied new via Listers Audi of Stratford-Upon-Avon on the 14^th of August that year to its one and only keeper from new. Well-specified from new with optional extras that included ‘lifestyle’ paintwork, front sports seats and steering wheel, eight-spoke alloys, ABS, ventilated front discs, CD-autochanger with four in-car speakers, and power hood. Costing £26,310.60 new, the Audi is fitted with the 1781cc straight-four engine allied to the desirable (and optional) five-speed manual transmission and is finished in the striking colour combination of Berry Pearl ‘lifestyle’ paintwork with half-Black leather and half-Grey interior upholstery, featuring Vavona wood trim inserts.

Having covered a mere 24,634 miles from new, the vendor informs that the Cabriolet has never had any paintwork since leaving the factory. Offered by a detailed history file, that contains the original book pack in Audi wallet (including the original stamped service book displaying thirteen entries – the majority of which are from Audi main dealers); original sales literature including an ‘as specified’ dealer configuration of the car and a VHS tape supplied with the car new; fourteen previous MOT certificates dating back to 2002; the original sales invoices; numerous servicing invoices; and a current V5C document. Accompanied by two sets of keys, the Audi is offered with a no advisory MOT certificate until June 2023.
