Lot details Registration No: R292ERT Chassis No: WAUZZZ8GZWK001037 Mot Expiry: Oct 2009
After years of building innovative, safe - and slightly dull - quality saloons, Audi decided to funk-up its image by making four-seater soft-tops again, beginning with an 80/90 series derived model in 1992. And, though the 80 series' replacing A4 appeared in 1994, it wasn't until after the facelift version arrived in 2001 that a cabrio version became available on the newer platform, so Audi continued with its hard-wearing older B4 design. Power came from 130bhp 2.3-litre `five' or 150bhp 2.6 V6 engines, as here, mounted longitudinally in Audi tradition and build quality was solid; the galvanised bodies mean that rust is rarely ever an issue unless they have been crash-damaged, and interiors, half leather in this case, are long-lasting, from a time when German build quality was world-renowned.
This cabriolet rides on eight-spoke alloy wheels and has an electrically operated roof, plus a CD changer mounted in the boot. The vendor describes `R292 ERT' as being in "good overall" condition with "very good" bodywork and paintwork. He believes the mileage of 71,000 to be genuine and cites a "good history" as proof. "An outstanding and well cared-for Audi Cabrio", he concludes.
