100LS Coupe

[Kenn Thyrsted]

Had a '73 100LS Coupé, once. Loved the look of it...
The Engine was cast iron block, a 2 valve head, pushrods, and carburation
1.9L 112HP. Aoox. 10-12cm longer than the 1,x litre placed in the audi 80's
from '75. pretty much the same block as the rabbit 1,5 , i'd think.
