Car is a 2 door Audi F103 75L the first Audi model sold in Australia. Black Vinyl. This is the first Audi made at a time when Mercedes owned Audi and then sold it to VW. The car was made up of parts from Mercedes. VW. and Porsche.

Yes these Audis were first imported into Australia in 1967. They were imported by Volkswagen Australasia. then based in Melbourne. and sold through selected VW dealers in Melbourne and Sydney. FCAI records sales of just 173 Audi F103 models that year.

In 1968 the ownership of Volkswagen Australia was taken over by Sydneys LNC Industries. and they continued importing the Audi F103. In fact in those days the FCAI actually counted Audi sales as Volkswagen sales. In 1968 they sold 142 F103 models.

In 1969 LNC also imported another VW Group vehicle. the NSU Ro80. Another model counted as a Vollkswagen! The sales were 53 F103 models and 49 Ro80s.

Now this is the only Audi 75L in Australia and 1 of 7 RHD Audi F103s in the world.
