The Appeal
First seeing origin in the later days of 1991, it was fair to say that the Audi B4 was very much a car of multiple characters. Beautifully styled, it was equally as at home in front of a luxury hotel as it was parked outside of the local Somerfields, and managed to create a very class-conscious car that had plenty of creature comforts.
This fine example has been extensively restored, upgraded and rebuilt to a very high standard, accompanied by a photographic record, plenty of paperwork and an array of spare parts. All of this comes together to make a truly spectacular retro classic that's still eminently drivable.
