cruiser647 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 In P'Bro this morning in Bretton Sainsbury's car park. This type of Audi got me 'into' Audis. I used to hear one go by as I walked to school. It was an Audi 80 Sport, with the 2.2 5 cylinder. The sound was fab. Especially to a kid at middle school (9 - 13 yrs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinspark Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 About 15 years or so back, a mate's brother had a white 80 Sport. Like this one, but with the Audi flashes on the rear 3/4 panel. Were they all 5-pots? - I thought his essentially had a Golf GTI 8v engine?

cruiser647 Posted January 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 They kept changing the engines!!! Original Sport's has the 5 pot, then a 4 pot . They then renamed the models and back came the 5 pot. Only to be replaced by a 4 pot and the 5 pot went into the new 90. The new rounded 80 & 90 then got the 5 pot too. The 5 -pot and 90 were dropped when the first V6 appeared. IIRC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_C Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Chris G still has his Sport, also a B plate, a 1.8 as Twinspark mentions above. He had a lot of work done a few years back (since this pic) making it concours. TyreSmoke Gallery :: Windsor Meet 29-08-07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M8CKN Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Theres one in pale gold near me, guy uses it as a daily driver. Just the same as the one in the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdiesel Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 My first car was a 1984 Audi 80 SC. It had the carb version of the Sports 1.8 lump. Tornado Red with the Audi rings on the lower panel. The 5cyl 80 was never badged Sport. It was the CD model in the UK. It later became the 90.

Chrisg Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) Thanks Ian -- but I wouldn't call it concours by a long shot - very tidy though. Like all these things I ended up spending more money than I should - but you get so far into it and then it seems daft not to do this and this and that....... I still really enjoy driving it, and you have to think about braking points ( and it's got better front brakes on ) and it can be a bit raucous but it's fairly quiet on the motorway. jimdiesel's correct. No B2 80 Sport ever had 5 cylinders, CD yes, with power steering and luxury interior, quattro yes,( there was a 90CD in the road behind me that used to burble by very regularly, luverly sound! quote "Theres one in pale gold near me, guy uses it as a daily driver. Just the same as the one in the picture. " not a B2 Sport - as gold was never available - at least in the UK it wasn't - and from the factory. I have seen pictures of a gold 90 quattro in the gold ( Almond?? ) that was a Coupe colour. It was repainted from black, oh and was in Germany , but looked terrific. The white one in the picture looks like Malcolm Gulliver's car ( Club Audi secretary). A picture of it even appeared in a US Forum a few years ago. He still has it.
