"When everything mechanical is properly adjusted, a once-modern everyday car from the 1970s offers a refreshingly analog driving experience today."

Description

The car was first registered for road use on June 11, 1973, likely as a demo vehicle, and was delivered to its first owner — the current owner’s grandfather, Hugo — by the Audi/NSU dealer Arthur Hansson Motor AB in Mora in October 1974. He drove and serviced the car according to the schedule and service book until December 1979. After that, Hugo appears to have handled maintenance himself, as he also worked as a car mechanic. Some of this is neatly documented in a driving log that spans from the mid-1990s until the car was placed in storage at the family property in Dalarna in 2010, with just over 252,200 km on the odometer.

There it remained until late summer 2021, when the current owner inflated the tires, started the car, had it inspected, and drove it down to the west coast. He repaired the brakes, and the most recent (and final) approved inspection was carried out on September 14, 2021 — the same year the car turned 50 in 2023. The current total mileage is 253,140 km.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The carburetor has been freshly rebuilt by an expert in the field — Förgasar-Dan in Borås — but the engine currently runs cleanly only at fully open throttle. The owner is now troubleshooting and making further adjustments before delivery. The car also has a refurbished fuel tank, along with new front brake discs and new rear brakes sourced from a Golf Mk1.

  • Interior condition:

    A seat cover has been fitted for a long time, and underneath it you’ll find the undamaged but aged original upholstery. Some of the horsehair padding is protruding from the backrest, and the rear seat upholstery has lost some of its firmness — but it’s green, intact, and original. The old Blaupunkt radio works well with the rear shelf speakers, while the cassette player mounted by the gear console has not been tested.

  • Exterior condition:

    Partially repainted and at some point fitted with new front fenders. A few small stone chips on the hood and a minor dent on the right-hand door, where the mirror mount also broke during an adjustment attempt. A replacement mirror should not be too difficult to find.

  • General condition:

    Well cared for despite its mileage and consequently nicely preserved. There aren’t many examples of these models still on the road today.

Facts about the model

The Audi 80 GL from 1973 was introduced as a more luxurious version of the newly developed Audi 80 (B1) generation, which was named Car of the Year 1973. The GL model belonged to the higher equipment line and featured a 1.5-liter, 85 hp engine of modern design with a belt-driven overhead camshaft. The model was distinguished by its contemporary, design-conscious styling — developed by ItalDesign — and shared its platform with the upcoming 1974 Volkswagen Passat.

  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
