Any Audi 100cs two tone/colour cars left ?

#1 Beitrag von akent »

Hi again, haven't been around for ages but I still have my 100CS two tone/colour and GL5E in storage and still unrestored as unfortunately much too busy.

Firstly I'm trying to discover the history of the two tone/colour cars, how many were built and how many were right hand drive ?

Secondly I can't remember who it was said they also had a right hand drive one as well which they bought from Essex in the UK about 4 years ago. Are there any pics of it ?

And finally does anyone know how many in total are left and still running today as it would be great to know and chat ? Also the spares situation too ?

Thanks again !

Andy :)

Hi again :)

I still have both Type 43 cars still unrestored in storage but need to get an insurance valuation for them. The GL5E needs a complete rebuild but is all intact, the 100CS blue/silver is also in good condition but will also need a rebuild as well. Any ideas ?

Hi again, I shall be restoring both cars all being well this summer with many new parts from Germany.

However are the new spares such as doors, wings, bonnets and boot going to start rusting again the same as before, or will they be new and properly rustproofed ?

Thanks...

Hi Andy,

good to hear you are willing to keep the wheels rolling! I am sure there are not many classic Audis still preserved in the UK.

Rust has always been an issue, and even if you have got NOS spare parts proper rust proofing is an absolute must. Today's cavity waxes are good materials to achieve long lasting protection and to prevent rust starting at the inner side of sheet metals.

Kindest Regards,
Joe

Hi Joe

Thank you for the very useful info about waxes. Do you know if there any new parts still available or are they all used by now ? And who would you recommend as the best single contact for everything rather than having to buy from several as all the existing metal panels on both cars will have to be thrown away.

In passing I made a couple of interesting discoveries about the UK two tone 100CS. I'd heard somewhere that only about 100 RH drive cars were delivered to the UK so when I rang Ingolstadt classic cars department to get as much information as I could about them they said they'd never heard of them. Puzzled I then rang Audi UK and was told they'd never heard of them either despite emailing them a copy of the original brochure ! I can attach the two pics of the brochure I have but can't work out how to do it. Finally I still don't know if any left hand drive two tone cars were ever sold in Germany or Europe either.... ?

One other thing I've heard was that the last chassis made were used to test the first rally Quattros but no idea at all if this is true or not ?

Best wishes

Andy

G'day Andy,

the availabilty of new or new old stock parts is no bright picture. To find these for Audi c2 one needs a lot of passion and sometimes sense of investigation. A good idea is to permanently have an eye on the typical buy-and-sell platforms in the www, but nevertheless there are almost a handful of specialized dealers mainly in Germany who take pride in their passion to help us enthusiasts.

Some Examples: Helge Matthiesen of Quickborn near Hamburg, Sütterlin of Kehl, Andreas Kuhnert of Heusenstamm and Max Pleintinger of Moeding near Landau. You will find home pages of the first three ones if you feed google search with the names and the word Audi, whereas Max has no home page but can be contacted via phone or mail. After all, even Audi Germany themselves have finally understood the need of an online-shop for classic parts, and you will find it here:

http://trshop.audi.de/konakart/Welcome.do

But don't expect anything like a wide range of parts or lots of bargains as it's not a Ford Model A that were are dealing about!

Another idea to find good used parts - and sometimes even NOS - is to put a query into the "Wanted" section of this forum. Somes folks have collected a good bunch of spare parts over the years. So feel free just to ask, please!

I am sorry I cannot give further information about two tone UK models as I am not really familiar with what was offered to the UK. My interest has always been focused to US models as I have been staying in the US and CDN quite often for tours of more than 50 k miles up to now.

Kindest Regards,
Joe

Hello I did not not think they made any two tone cars for the 100 or 200 type 43
I have a 200 5t in two tone but I think it was added in later life I think two tone car were popular in the years after our cars were made
Parts are rare in the uk and hard to find
Germany is the place to look and hope someone is willing to ship to the UK
I have been collecting for a good few years and still looking
Good luck with your cars

Hallo, ich glaube nicht, dass sie für die 100er oder 200er Typ 43 zwei zweifarbige Autos gebaut haben
Ich habe eine 200-Tonne mit zwei Tönen, aber ich glaube, es wurde im späteren Leben hinzugefügt. Ich glaube, dass Zweifarbautos in den Jahren nach der Herstellung unserer Autos beliebt waren
Teile sind in Großbritannien selten und schwer zu finden
Deutschland ist der richtige Ort, um zu hoffen, dass jemand bereit ist, nach Großbritannien zu liefern
Ich sammle schon seit einigen Jahren und suche immer noch
Viel Glück mit deinen Autos

Hello Gary,

after all I am not sure at all about the two tone question. The reason is that Audi (and Auto Union DKW) has always been featuring "special edition" models for some markets and campaigns. I am more familiar with c1, and I know early models were offered with black or white roof as two tone colours. In 1976 there were some very special UK models on sale with big US bumpers and vinyl covered roof and so on. Thus me thinks the two tone colouring of c2 might very well be the original dress.

To find parts it is the most straight forward idea to look in Germany but to be honest - I have bought Audi parts in the UK regularly when it comes to "Glyco" bearing shells, "Motorbook" workshop manuals and more. British ebay is the pasture to grass about...
I hope for the future that doing business with UK won't be obstructed by dumb politicians.

Regards,
Joe

Hi there again :)

At long last hope to be ready soon to start restoring my two tone Typ 43, so as spare parts are easily available in Germany I'll probably be needing quite a few from your three specialist spare parts suppliers.

However would it be possible to get my restorers to keep in regular touch with them with any questions, problems and orders etc. through a chat room ?

Thanks
