Sometime in mid 1994 I bought a well used B2 90 2L from it first owner, a self employed animal feeds salesman. He was selling it under duress - his accountant promised to resign if he didn’t (the tax deduction was so long gone), but was taking comfort in the fact that it had outlasted three of his business partners Sierras. It had done 235k and was really pretty tidy, though the drivers seat did look a bit “sat-in”. Fully stamped service book and several loose leaf pages. Horrific lifter rattle for the first 5 miles, then perfect.
I did find a tidier seat and fit a new set of lifters, but otherwise I just used it, getting it up to just under 260k in just over a year before swapping it for a slightly newer and much lower mileage B3 with a 2.2. I really wanted a B2 Quattro but even then I couldn’t find one that wasn’t ruined.
There’s been at least one Audi in the drive ever since. Today there are four......
