History
Full restoration after purchasing from the first owner, that kept the car in a shed for the past 25 years.
This is the first post-war Audi that was developed in record short timeframe following the VW acquisition. It is essentially a reworked DKW F102 model, featuring a brand new drivetrain - a Porsche gearbox and Mercedes Benz high compression 4 stroke engine, marking departure from the DKW two-stroke troubled legacy. It was introduced to the general public as a new "Audi", inheriting the "Auto-Union" 4 rings which later became its mascot. The importance of this model is hard to overestimate - thanks to this humble car, Audi was brought back to life, also helping VW place first stakes in the luxury upper market segment, dominated by MB and BMW at the time. This car also established the so much needed water-called engine foundations for VW, which later found it's way to the entirety of VW and Audi line up in the 70th and 80th.
The Super 90 Model was the absolute top of the range, featuring 100hp engine, dual chamber Solex carby (also found on BMW 2002 and Opel Manta) and a special interior trim, costing almost $4,000 AUD in 1968.
This particular vehicle is an original Australian RHD delivery, one of only ~300 units officially imported locally to introduce the new Audi brand. Today it'd be one of a handful, if not the only model of this type surviving in Australia.
