1992 - 1995 Audi 500 SEL - Cape Town South Africa

[Gerard]

Quite simple really. All type-44 cars were called the 500 here, as
opposed to the 100/200/5000 and so on elsewhere. When the type-C4 came
out it retained the designation of 500 until the universal name of A6
started. The type-44 was available in 5 levels: 400, 500, 500E, 500SE.
Most with the 2.2 litre motor, some with an 1800 I think (not really
sure with the 400). The c4 then offered the 2.8 V6 and the top model was
the 500SEL, "L" probably for something silly like "luxury" or "limo".
