HISTORY/DOCUMENTATION
Unique! This Audi 80 has an original mileage of just 8,487 kilometres and is in absolutely top condition, virtually as it rolled off the production line in Ingolstadt back then. It is a luxury GL (Grand Luxe) specification, featuring chrome trim strips and a more luxurious interior, amongst other things. Another special feature is the original documentation that still accompanies the car: an authentic registration certificate, owner’s manual, delivery document and original invoice. The Audi was registered and delivered in Trieste, Italy, on 12 October 1979. The Audi has always been owned by the same person and therefore comes directly from its first owner! The car and its documentation have been well preserved in Italy over the years and were recently brought back from Italy by us. The original price was 6,670,000 Italian lire. Several original keys are also included with the car. Original tax and insurance documents are located behind the windscreen. The original registration number is “TS 225381”.

EXTERIOR
The Audi is in an exceptionally original and neat condition, with no damage and excellent fitment of body panels. All windows are still original. The windows are tinted and the rear window is heated. The lights, rubber seals and chrome trim are in original but very good condition. The same applies to the chrome-plated wheel trims on the 13-inch rims. A notable feature is that all the tyres are still original! The DOT code is 359 (week 35, 1979). These are (naturally German-made) Continental tyres with sufficient tread remaining and in good condition, but replacement is, of course, advisable for safe driving. The excellent paintwork is finished in the beautiful original colour ‘Mexico Beige’ (colour code LE 1 M). Despite the sunny climate in Italy, the original paintwork has not faded but remains in very good condition with a lovely sheen. It is clear that the car has been stored indoors.

INTERIOR
The interior features very attractive sand-coloured velour upholstery, beige fabric trim and luxurious burgundy floor mats. These floor mats are sound-insulating, something Audi placed great emphasis on at the time. They also feature Air circulation and safety were also top priorities for Audi. The dashboard is functional and clearly laid out. Next to the odometer are a fuel economy gauge and a clock. The dashboard is finished in black faux leather and is in immaculate condition. The headlining is in mint condition. The entire interior is in excellent condition with no damage. It’s as if time has stood still! The number of times the rear doors have been opened can probably be counted on one hand. The – surprisingly spacious – boot is also in very good condition and includes the spare wheel, spare bulbs and a jack.

TECHNICAL
In 1979, the Audi 80 was available with four different 4-cylinder engines: a 1.3-litre engine, two 1.6-litre engines with carburettors and a 1.6-litre engine with fuel injection. This particular car is a 1.3-litre version (1,272 cc) with carburettors and 60 pk. With a fuel consumption of 1/14.9, it is very economical. Coupled with a smooth 4-speed gearbox and front-wheel drive, the car offers a fine balance between comfort, sportiness and safety. Disc brakes are fitted at the front, with drum brakes at the rear. The underbody of the car is in rock-solid, rust-free condition. The engine bay is exceptionally clean and dry. The Audi drives, changes gear and brakes well.

GENERAL
The 1979 Audi 80 GL belongs to the second generation of the Audi 80 (B2), a model that played a key role in Audi’s growth as a premium brand. The Audi 80 was introduced in 1972 as the successor to the Audi F103 series, which included the Audi 60, 75, 80 and Super 90. With its modern technology, relatively low weight and efficient engines, the Audi 80 was an instant success. In 1973, the model was even named European Car of the Year, a significant accolade for Audi, which was still a relatively small brand at the time. This second generation featured a completely redesigned body, more interior space and a wider range of engines. The B2 later also formed the basis for the legendary Audi Coupé and the first Audi quattro, with which Audi established its reputation in the field of four-wheel drive.
