The Appeal

The B3/B4 generation Coupé was one of Audi's most elegant designs from the 1990s, combining sleek styling with the solid engineering the marque is renowned for. This 1996 example has recently received significant mechanical attention, with a full major service completed by the current owner in August 2025.
Having been stored in dry conditions for over a year before the current ownership, this Coupé has benefited from careful preservation and notable recent mechanical refurbishment, making it an appealing prospect for enthusiasts of '90s German sports coupés.
