The b2 80/ 90 quattro
The s2 with the Aby
The rs2
The rs4 b5 is good
The first V8
The first tt is punted ( ideally baseball trim ) After man years in the doldrums
200. 5t ...... Spotted a Dutch one being driven on the m62 yesterday
Tends to be the premium stuff that's interesting in most marques I'm afraid

Not sure what the point is in a "Classic Audi" forum if 95% of the offering can be written off as bland and uninteresting?

The S2 ABY and RS2 are the ultimate evolutions of the B3 90 quattro...?

I just quoted JJ with the bland description.........I love my B3CQ with a passion.

Not bland in my opinion, just the best all rounder.

Of course John

I wouldnt trade mine either!

Without the other models for context the more sporting ones become less interesting imho!!

I just viewed this Cab... Forget it. doesn't worth saving unfortunately

engine still runs but not far from knackered (lost of dirt can be seen under the rocker cover), has sport air filter (very loud for 1-2 minutes when cold starting), rusty aftermarket exhaust back box, loose side indicators, worn/cracked/ripped drivers seat, crack in rear centre lamp, both front wings were repaired and painted with black primer in those patches, has aftermarket xenon built in, roof is dirty (there's a ripped spot too), rear window sewing looks awful, window loose in 5cm length, bit faded as well. windscreen delaminating at the bottom corners.
oil currently in it looks fresh but previously has had loooong change periods and lots of pedal flooring, probably when cold too... Rear discs rotten.

Long list eh?
Certainly does not worth a punt in my opinion.
