Audi 80

Paul Cowland has popped up in Autocar before and you might recognise him from TV’S Turbo Pickers and Salvage Hunters: Classic Cars. An inveterate car buyer who owns more than 40 classics, he has a collection that includes a lovely £800 Audi 80.

“Yes, I use that as a daily,” he says. “I will probably put 60k miles on it and I would be likely to get my money back, wouldn’t I? So far, I have done 6000 in a couple of months. It starts every time and just does the job. I love it because no one has one any more.”
