Little project Audi 80 Sport....

[Nuvo]

It may be the case that it was only the 16v models were equipped as standard with Jaquard satin sport seats, 3 spoke sports steering wheel, aux guages, front fog lamps etc. These parts were probably offered as optional extras for the ABK engined model.

It certainly appears to me that the Sport on a B3 came with all the extras, the late B4 did not. I have the printed docs to show this is indeed a Sport, however , if the windows aren't standard they look very well done, the switches looms regs etc look spot on

I think a lot were dealer fitted so likely done to a decent standard. Looking forward to more pictures of "the sport".

Having worked for a main agent, I'm not sure id use decent standard to describe them... Ha...
I've got a print of the original vehicle data and PR numbers..

What colour is that? It looks to be cyclamen red mica.
Sports were only available in laser red, ragusa metallic, Crystal silver metallic, Europa Blue Pearl and Vulcan black pearl.

Listed as Ruby Red pearl.
I waa given these magazine/ dealer brochure too. The brochure is from Harrogate Audi, the original vendors..
I'm confused about this then, Log Book says sport, dealers says Sport, PR codes suggest Sport, engine code is correct for 8v Sport....

Ah yes, ruby red pearl, I did wonder about that.
What you have is an Audi 80 with the sport pack rather than an Audi 80 Sport Edition. That's the distinction.

Weird to that it lists "sport" on the log book.
either way it's a very nice car, I'll be doing some tinkering.
The horrid JVC stereo has gone in the bin already, my brother has a nice Kenwood Stereo and an even nicer Sony one I have acquired.

I agree, it does confuse things.
It's a still a good looking car after all these years later. It's always good to see one on the road, which is a rare sight these days. The last time I saw one I'd forgotten how good they look. I quite fancy one again to tinker on.

I look forward to reading your posts with your progress.

I bought and sold a ruby red 16v a few years ago. That had been lowered on H&R springs, this one is a similar ride height and firmness.
I've driven a few standard 80s and the suspension is rather soft.
This a good solid car and well worth the few tweaks required to make it a great car.

That looks lovely, so you have some history with them too.

I like Audi 80s, well built cars. I loved driving this one back from Lincolnshire 70/80 mph most of the way. They don't drive like 30 plus year old cars etc.
