The Appeal

The Audi 100 CS was a pivotal model that helped establish Audi's reputation for technical excellence and premium quality. This particular example represents a rare opportunity to acquire a family-owned-from-new Audi 100 CS with a documented history and restoration.
Having been in the same family since it was purchased new in 1983, this car has been well-maintained and restored by the owner's father, with a comprehensive file of photographs and paperwork documenting all work carried out.
The car's appeal is further underlined by its feature appearances in both Classic Monthly Magazine and Classic Car Mart in 2017. For enthusiasts of emerging classics from the 1980s, this well-preserved Audi 100 CS with its distinctive inline five-cylinder engine offers an increasingly sought-after opportunity.
