Highlights
- One family ownership since new
- Garage stored when not in use for its entire life
- A rare and very original restoration project
The Appeal
Often the classic cars that turn out to be the most endearing are not the fastest or the most exotic, they’re the ones with the best story. This 1969 Audi 100 LS was purchased by the current owner’s grandfather on 18th April 1970.
It remained on the road for a number of years and was last submitted for an MOT test in 2013. We’re informed that it has been garaged since new and while it’s now time for some restoration work, this Audi has survived remarkably well. These early Audi 100s are not a common sight on British roads any more, meaning once this 1.8-litre LS is back up and together, it is sure to attract attention.
The History and Paperwork
- Acquired by the current owner’s grandfather on 18th April 1970
- Supplied with the original dealer’s bill of sale
- We’re informed that there is a collection of invoices for parts, work and servicing over the years
- Last MOT test was carried out in March 2013, which it passed with a few advisories
- Now in need of restoration, although some recommissioning work has been carried out recently to get the car moving under its own power
- Supplied with Audi repair manual
The Interior
- Grey vinyl upholstery in reasonable condition considering its age
- Besides a little discolouration, there is little wear to the vinyl seat covers
- The base of the rear bench seat has been replaced with a brown velour upholstered item
- The carpeting is now rather tired but remains in situ
- With an attractive veneer fascia, the dashboard appears in good overall condition with a few small cracks to the top
- The VDO instruments with their green lettering remain in nice shape
- The controls are by now rather worn and the gear knob is cracked
- Besides a few marks on the sun visors, the headlining is in really good order
- The door cards have some age related marks but are in good shape overall
- Inside the boot, all looks to be in reasonable condition
- Much of the interior appears salvageable and we’re sure it will look great once again
The Exterior
- Cobalt blue paintwork in fair condition for its age, becoming a little dull in places
- The bodywork appears really straight and the doors still shut well
- All the trim, including the bumpers remains in good order with a few marks and light pitting
- Some corrosion is now appearing on the arches, and the bottom of the door skins
- There is also some localised paint bubbling in places
- A glance underneath suggests the floors to be quite sound
- The vendor advises that some restoration work will be in order
- All the glass and light lenses appear in good order
- The wheels remain in good order and retain their original trims
- Overall, this Audi has weathered well over the years, making it a great starting point for restoration
The Mechanics
- 1.8-litre four cylinder engine
- Front-wheel drive with inboard disc brakes
- Recent mechanical recommission included a new fuel pump, fuel lines, battery and ignition system
- We understand that the car can be run and moves under it own power but besides basic recommissioning, no mechanical work has been carried out
Summary
Seldom does the opportunity arise to acquire a one family owned car that’s entering its 54th year in existence. If you’re looking for a project car with great provenance, this is most definitely one to consider.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
