AUDI 100 Uncommon
As of 2026 Q1, 1,138 AUDI 100s remain registered in the UK — an increasingly uncommon sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 1,794 in 2014 Q3 — only 63% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 656 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 52 a year (4.6% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2041 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 76% are declared SORN — kept off the road in garages and barns rather than driven, the signature of a car being looked after rather than used up.

About the 100
The Audi 100 and Audi 200 (and sometimes called Audi 5000 in North America and Audi 500 in some markets like New Zealand and South Africa) are primarily mid-size/executive cars manufactured and marketed by the Audi division of the Volkswagen Group.

In 1982, the third generation Audi 100 achieved a remarkably low (for its time) drag coefficient...
