Audi 100 Ascott and EATON. Any infos about these models?

[Ignas.quattro]

Hello typ44 fans ,
I saw few times the sign written on the back of Audi 100 like this: Audi 100 Ascott. And I can't find any information about what that Ascott is? What are the differences between normal Audi 100 and Audi 100 Ascott?
Thank you for your answers

[JörgFl]

Hmm- I´ve never heard it.
It is possible, that the owner had taken it by himself?

My father has a sign on the back of his car, that is very near the original sign.. but do you heard of an Passat Arosa ???

Believe me , I saw more than one model and my friend in the other city too and also check out in the google , there are few Audi 100 Ascott for sale
Now I see why I don't find any information about this anywhere , because it's top secret model

[44Q]

You are right, I also found some.

Audi Ascott

It seems to be some special series like Golf "Pink Floyd" or Polo "Genesis".

Hi,
I´m searching for the Ascott, and i Found it just on French sides.
Its taken in the following writing:

AUDI 100 / CC / CS / CD / ASCOTT

So i think its an only French word-kreation.


so i can understood why i never heared about- i DONT speak French

[Svensen]

It,s nothing special on this

Just an Audi 5 cyl.

What do you mean French word-creation? They were only imported in France?

[JörgFl]

Yes i think so.


I´ve worked as a Audi mechanik in the erly 90´s and i´ve never read or hear about a ASCOTT - and the dokuments for repair say nothing about - not in USA , england, europe- ...

i can belive It could be a special-edition like a very good interieur-version.

Ascott is an english town .....

hmm , maybe you're right about interior , but that is just one version of differences , but how to know the real differences?
If this would be on Audi 100 after facelift , then I won't be hard for me to find out what are the differences if they are in the interrior , because believe me , I don't have Audi yet , but I know all interriors , colours , seats , options and so on very very well But on Audi 100 before facelift , I don't know anything

[JörgFl]

The easiest way to find out the differences is to ask a french Audi-dealer

He must know what a ASCOTT is...

[Blacky]

Hi !

Just a thought about this ...

an 'english' named model upgrade/modification for a french 'target group' of customers ?

sounds to me a little like 'mercedes bolognese' ....*

okay, thats pushed a little too hard, but i think you understand


greetings !

roland

* : don't even think about it, it has absolutly no sense...

[Manfred R.]

Maybe it's an English version - with more head space for ladies' hats at the the Ascott horse races ...



Manfred

[Vite]

Audi Ascott??? Never heard from...

... but seen:

[Blacky]

mhm.
very interesting

the style of the audi 100 and the ascott writing are different styles.
looks like the 'ascott' is written with older typ43 letters ...
the audi 100 with ne 'normal before facelift typ44' letters ..

here are soome more pictures, even of the interieur.

http://vyp.nm.ru/images/

but it looks as if this cars best years are long over .....
( english for beam-aways )


greetings !

You say that signs Audi 100 and Ascott are in different styles , but I see that they are with the same letters , for example check out the "A" letter. This is an old writing which an older typ44 audis had before facelift... Newer typ44 audis before facelift(1987) had that writing which had typ44 audis after facelift
Hmm , I kind a fell that I want to laugh , because now I see that Ascott is something very special , that nobody has ever heard of

Maybe you're right too , but this don't say what are the differences

[Blacky]

hi again !

nope, it does not, was just a thought

there is a double decorational line starting at the mudguards, slightly below the windows.
beginnging at the front and ending at the rear triangle windows.

the interieur material looks different than the ones usually known here in germany ( i think ) , especially the fabric of the seats and the door boards.

have not seen this so far here in germany, i hope i'm not telling some bullshit

there seems t be nothing special build in from the factory, normal seats, no climate control, only the rpm-meter an thus the digital clock.

but i'm quite unsure about the writings at the trunk flap ....

So those are the differences?

[fourbee]

Hello,
I also nerver heard about an model called "Ascott".
The only special model (except the well known "Sport" "Exclusive" "Business" an so on) I was able to find is named "EATON" and
was sold in 1985 in the french market.
The differences to "Base" are: tintet windows, front foglamps, front and rear power windows, rear headrests, the black trim between the tailllights,
a leather wrap for the shifting-lever and specially designed material for seatcovers and door panels.

A little bit strange to me is also that the english racecourse "Ascot" is normalwhise written with one "t",
taking that synonyme for an exclusive and extraordinary equipped car im sure that the audi people would have used the correct way of writing.

Or do i confound anything?

Hi helge !

your descriptions fits to the images of this audi.
headrest -> kopfstütze ?

Correct !

[Faltdach]

Ich habe noch die Titelseite eines Prospektes gefunden leider in sehr schlechter Qualität...


Nr. AU118020-01, AUDI 100 ASCOTT, 03/1986, F, 4 pages, format A4

Interessant finde ich auch, dass es französische Prospekte des "Sport"-Sondermodells gab - ich dachte, der wurde nur in D angeboten?!


AU119005-01, AUDI 100 SPORT, 01/1990, F, ref : 020 1195 50 41, 8 pages, format A4
AU119006-01, AUDI 100 SPORT, 01/1990, B NED, ref : 020 1195 50 31, 8 pages, format A4
AU119006-02, AUDI 100 SPORT, 01/1990, B FRA, ref : 020 1195 50 45, 8 pages, format A4

So there is possibly an mistake in E**A (wouldn´t be the first ) , here is written "EATON" , the description is only to find in the 1985 frontwheeldrive model.
Indeed, the details fits mostly to the car on the pictures, for me the design of seat covers and door panels is quite similar looking to CS-Version (in that case with standart seats).

Okay, here´s the next question: Anyone ever seen an Audi100 EATON ??

Haha , so in Ascott as I understand seats are a bit different and something else in interior
No , I have never seen Audi 100 EATON Does it have the writing EATON on the back?

Hi, This is the answer from the French guy with the ASCOTT catalogues:

Hello

It was a special edition, for France only. This leaflet is no longer available.

Best regards

Dear Ignas and all of the new Ascott fans,

here comes the story:
I tried the French Yahoo search for "audi 100 ascott". The third result was a link to this forum and this thread! Fast guys, Google doesn't have it, at least not on the first page.
But then I went to another website - a true gem for our question:
http://www.audisportcollection.com/gale ... bnails.php
There you have first three Ascott pictures and then ALL FOUR PAGES of the Audi Ascott leaflet.

As we know already the Ascott was a special model for France. Named Ascott maybe because it is not much faster than a race horse
Here are the special features from that leaflet (March 1986):
1800 ccm, 90 HP (no catalysator), "best price/equipment ratio", halogen headlights and fog lamps, green top windscreen, 4 e-windows, central locks, inside adjustable mirrors (manual), leather stickshift cover, height adjustable driver seat, special seat covers in flanell Eton "formerly reserved only for Audi quattro" (see picture! Whow!).
That's it!
The Ascott, like other type44, seems to be running for ever and there are always some on sale on French car sale websites (other Yahoo hits).

I hope this clarifies a lot of open questions. And for all of us, who hadn't heard about the Ascott before (like me) -this is lifelong learning.

Best regards
Manfred

It seems a good idea to change the search engine
