In September 1986, Audi released a new Typ 89 Audi 80 for the 1987 model year on the European market and introduced it elsewhere within a year. It introduced a new aerodynamic look and a fully zinc-coated galvanised bodyshell. In 1987, the Audi 90 was reintroduced as an upmarket, more luxurious variant of the 80. To begin with it would again feature a choice of 10-valve inline five-cylinder petrol engines, and could be specified with or without quattro. The 90 differs visually from the 80 by a full width tail-light panel; headlights that featured additional high-beam lights and a slightly different front grille. Indicator lamps were moved from beside the headlights to the bumpers next to the fog lights, which were standard fitment on the 90. Brightwork surrounds for the windows, tops of the bumpers and side rubbing strips were also standard. Interiors were upgraded over the 80 featuring velour seat coverings and a slightly more generous level of equipment.
The vendor, a Saab specialist garage, took this rare 5-cylinder 4 door luxury Saloon as a part exchange. Finished in Pearl White with Grey velour, this Audi 90 more recently belonged to a car collecting friend of the vendor. His ownership was over a 5-year period, however, it was stored for 8-9 years in a heated garage at TK Autos, Kendal. The Audi’s condition is said to be ‘exceptional’ for its age, with a few marks that could be remedied. The lack of corrosion is likely due to a galvanised body from Audi on these special iterations of the Audi 80 model series. The Audi 90’s specification was beyond that of many marques in 1990. There’s a Blaupunkt Montreux radio cassette player, electric windows on all four doors, an electric sunroof and air conditioning; unusual to find both specified.
The alloy wheels are 15-inch and colour-coded, similar to the original 14-inch alloys also offered with the car. There are some accompanying brochures and an untested Blaupunkt Melbourne radio cassette player. The '90' passed its last MOT with a couple of advisories and subsequently a new track rod end was fitted. There are 3 former keepers recorded on the V5C logbook, a book pack is present and shows stamps up to c.40k in the service booklet (now displaying c.80,060).
