Although the 100S is a nice looking motor which in the past commanded a high price unfortunately rust got the better of most of them and not many survived the ravages of the English weather. There is an active club in Germany. 100S did come in RHD just a matter of finding one. I nearly bought this a while back unfortunately bikes fill my garage.

to me it would have been no contest... the bikes would have gone! Laughing

Don't expect much in the way of power (did they manage 3 figures?), and also, some of them- I think- had inboard brakes... Shocked

Usually a few of the 100 coupe S Club GB turn up and put some on display at the Stanford Hall VW Event (see events forum for details)

Yes @ Manta- it was the one older model Opel I didn't look at.... and the one I was thinking about...

Astons. sorry, as far as I'm personally concerned, they're over rated.... and over priced (as a rule)

Now as for the Mustangs..... Very Happy

old or new..... I was drooling over Elanor at the NEC....

Over priced? well that aston esp.. What with its james bond car ski's & rocket launchers behind the fog lights. Laughing

Audi 100 Coupe S was only available with one engine - 1.9 4 cylinder.

Power was 112PS.

I have a spare AAN engine - wonder if I could get it to fit in one

It will fit - engine bay is longer than that of type 85 cars. The 100 Coupe S also has a side-mounted radiator, ideal for I5 20V turbo power! Cool

i know i posted this,. but LOOK! it says "best cars web site" Laughing

Best cars in America maybe! says a lot, also explains why some European manufactures can't sell there cars in the US. often using 'reliability' reasons as an excuse.
Whats THAT got to do with anything ffs? it personal choice! isn't it? if i wanted an Alfa, i'd buy one! Laughing

warts and all.. as if US cars don't have any problems. its just any excuse to keep out as much competition as they can get away with.. thats why there controls are so tight.

cause US manufacturers know most of there cars are rubbish by comparison, and don't want Americans to spend there money abroad (if at all possible) .

shows how bad they really are when the 'CAPRI' was considered to be an excellent handling car over there.

u know it makes sense. Laughing

my dad had one with the number plate "yld 1" it had a holdspeed cruise control fitted and he disconected the anti roll bar on the front as he reckoned it handled better without it! dont think it was tht fast but had a massive boot! remember racing an xr3 on the way to cornwall once!
