EXTERIOR
This exceptional and very rare Audi 90 CD has covered just 8,396 miles from new and has been part of the prestigious Audi Heritage Collection since 2013 where only the finest examples gain placement. Finished in factory original Stone Grey Metallic, (Code U8), the pin straight bodywork and paint finish are simply outstanding with no markings worthy of mention other than a small mark to the bonnet. All beautifully made trim sections, rubbers, lights and badges are virtually as new with a very faint rub to the offside front corner bumper plastic. All glass is factory etched and the supplying Audi Main Dealer number plates and tax disc holder remain. An exceptional museum worthy example.
INTERIOR
The plush CD interior of this amazing example is representative of the remarkably low 8,396 miles covered and is in pristine condition throughout. The original Savoy Velour upholstery in Quartz colour scheme, (Code JK), is spotless with no wear or damage to the fabric whatsoever. The seats are firm and retain all shape and the matching door cards are as new. The carpets are untouched having been protected from brand new by Audi floor mats and the headlining is perfect. All functions operate seamlessly including the original Blaupunkt Cambridge SQM26 stereo cassette. Likewise, the spotless load space boasts an unmarked rubber mat underneath which the boot floor is as new as well as the original factory build label and yellow Minispare warning label to the boot lid underside. Clean, fresh and totally unspoilt.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The renowned five-cylinder 2.0 litre in-line engine produces 115bhp at 5400rpm and 165Nm of torque at 3200rpm to achieve a top speed of 116mph while 0-60mph is dispatched in 9.5 seconds. The beautifully clean engine bay features all factory stickers, plates, PDI markings and under bonnet labels. The standard five-speed sports gearbox is light, precise and effortless to use with a brilliant motorway cruising manner.
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Factory fitted full size wheel covers adorn the steel wheels and are original and intact with only very light markings to the faces of each front trim, barely worthy of mention. Replacement premium brand Michelin Energy Saver 185/60 R14 tyres have masses of tread and the Minispare wheel with original Michelin tyre is present. The diagonal dual circuit braking system features front discs and bring the car to a straight and steady halt.
HISTORY FILE
Registered new on 7th November 1986, the car was supplied by Audi Main Dealer, Hebble Auto Services of Huddersfield. The first owner, Mr Taylor, owned the car for a remarkable 24 years during which time it was seldom used and kept for best, his main passion being motorcycles. There is a letter from him dated 2011, the following year in which he sold the car, acknowledging receipt of the Audi Driver magazine featuring his car and also an account of his ownership. In this account he was asked if anyone had ever sat in the back seats to which he replied, “Yes, once. I had to take my Son and Daughter in Law to Gatwick Airport. I drove them down and upon returning I vacuumed the car out. Nobody has sat in the back since”. In 2013 the car was purchased by the Volkswagen Group where it was to become part of the Audi Heritage Collection and where it has remained ever since.
The history file is very comprehensive and includes the A5 wallet containing the handbooks, guides and radio booklet as well as the service booklet factory build label matching that on the boot lid. A history folder contains Audi Main Dealer and specialist service and maintenance invoices as well as previous MOT certificates dating back to the first in 1989. In February 2020 and at 8,344 miles the timing belt, water pump and pulley were replaced. Completing the history file is an original Audi 90 CD sales and specification brochure along with three original keys and code tags. There is even the 90 CD show plates which adorned the car when taken to shows and Audi publicity events.
HPI Clear.
