One of the most durable winter classics has to be the B3 and B4 generation of Audi 80 produced between 1986 and 1996. Values of the best have risen, and it’s not unusual to see asking prices of £2500-plus for a low-mileage example of even the basic versions; buy privately though, and you should fine a very usable car for £1500 or less.
With strong mechanicals and galvanised steel used throughout, these cars were built to last, and boasted a reputation for longevity. An Audi 80 may lack charisma but it more than makes up for it in sheer robustness.
