Restoring a Schuco 821 Audi 100 Coupe, in the Super Schnell series from 1970 until 1976.
I firmly believe that the Audi 100 Coupé S is one of the finest looking machines to come out of Germany, arguably ever. The car took the good front-end looks of the Audi 100 sedan and teamed it with a flowing fastback. It was a vision of things to come for Audi. The 100 Coupe was powered by a 1.9 litre 4-cylinder engine but it was lightweight and twin carbureted initially, producing 115hp. It lasted from 1969 to 1976 before being discontinued, but it did help lay the foundations for Porsche's own grand touring coupé, the 928.
Schuco introduced the Audi 100 Coupe model to their Super Schnell range in 1970 and it likely lasted through until the company's bankruptcy in 1976. It had 10 different colour variations, reflecting just a handful of the colours the real cars can be found in.
My example was a red plastic interior-bestowed light metallic blue casting that had flaked away on the roof, while the exposed metal base had dulled significantly. I love restoring these Schuco models as they are so simple to dismantle and reassemble, and this was no exception. I'm already looking forward to my next Schuco project!
