The Appeal

The Audi Cabriolet represents one of the most elegant four-seater convertibles of the 1990s. Much like Mercedes' SL line, the combination of German build quality and a convertible roof is often a winning combination.
This 1998 example offers the desirable 2.6-litre V6 engine paired with a manual transmission, a relatively uncommon combination that enthusiasts particularly value.
