Coupe GT 1800 (1989)

Audi Coupe GT 1800.
89,000 miles
1989 F Registration.
Lago Blue/Green Metallic.

I bought this (from another forum member) in February 2009 to drive to Le Mans and use at weekends, I've only done around 2500 miles in it myself, 850 of those going to Le Mans and back!

It passed the MOT last week, all it needed was a N/S front brake hose and some welding on both rear sills, this has all been sorted. So it comes with a full 12 month MOT.

Shortly before I bought it, it had a mini-restoration which included: New clutch, Cambelt, full service, Front discs and pads, exhaust system, water pump and V belts, coolant hoses, camcover gasket, front wheel bearing. Ive had to do very little myself, as it's proved to be very reliable.

The engine is the 1.8 4cyl injection similar to what is also found in the Golf GTI 8V models, so really easy to work on and get parts for. It pulls really well and starts first time.

The interior is very clean, with very little wear to the seats. It has a Kenwood CD player with aux MP3 input. This will need connecting to the aerial though.

Bad points:
The car is 21 years old, so it does have some!
The VDO temp gauge doesn't work (the oil and battery gauges are fine)
The 1st speed on the ventiliation fan doesn't work, however 2 & 3 speeds are fine.

The speedo reads 69,800 but the car had a speedo change by Audi in 1994 at 23,649 This is confirmed with a dealer stamp in the service book.

The car is in good condition considering it's over 20 years old, but don't expect a concourse show winner! There are some scratches/scuffs/dings here and there, the drivers door's had a repair to the bottom and the respray could be better. There are some rust bubbles on the rear arches, passenger door and on the sunroof panel.

It comes with a folder full of reciepts from 1989, which confirm the mileage and services throughout its life.

These are getting pretty rare now, and it took me a while to find a standard/un-modified one like this, so with this in mind I'm after....

£795......ish

The car is located in Petersfield, Hampshire, which is between Portsmouth and Guildford on the A3.

Any questions please ask!

Looks a very nice car for the money. It looks like its wearing its original dealership number plates - which will be Massingberd if I'm not mistaken. I remember some of the last GT Coupes we sold were F reg and XVV - my Dad's then colleague bought a 2.2GT, which I looked after for the next 3 years

You're right it was a Massingberd car. Anyway just sold it, No discount !!!!

David Small · 28-02-10, 05:49 PM

Thought so - lots of things are starting fail now, but the memory still seems intact

Hope its gone to a good home and you pointed them in this forum's direction

It looked worth every penny of the asking price
