This is an Audi 200 5T, the turbocharged 2.1 litre 5-cylinder 168 horsepower top-of-the-range sedan recreated by West German toy manufacturer Siku. The 200 formed part of the Audi 100 (or 5000 in North America) line and is based on the second generation C2 model. The C2 replaced the C1 in 1976 and the 5T arrived in 1979. It lasted until 1982 when it was replaced by the aerodynamic C3 for 1983.
Siku's model ran from the very end of the real car's production, 1982 until 1988. To me, this Audi design looks like something that was far more modern than a 1979 car. The 5T benefitted externally from more pronounced styling over the 100 including a chin spoiler. It also had all of the optional features from the rest of the range fitted as standard.
Siku offered the model in metallic green with a smoke or yellow tinted window piece. It can also be found in silver and it was also produced under licence by Metchy Toys of Hungary. They also made it in silver, or flat green or red.

Siku cars of this era are a class above anything else. A super resto result. Did Elliott's Mom drive one in ET - if so a Restomod tribute would be a lovely addition to the fleet 🙂
I have that exact model, as original when bought in 1988.
To match my 1983 5000s I was driving at the time. 🎉🎉
Had one of these back in the day. Wish I had all of my Siku cars still.
Nice restoration, details and paint job 👌 👍
Beautifully restored. I forgot that I had one of those as a kid in that green colour. I first remembered when you told/showed the original green Audi 100. My car lost the left hand drivers front door. That 80s era of Siku cars and earlier toys cars with metal base from the 70s are the best IMO. The newer ones from the 90s and 2000s are just not the same quality
Another great build is always there Jason keep up the good work have a good one and God bless my friends
Nice resto. You should use a dental pick to remove paint in recess areas like the gas cap.
looking nice and shiny again. :) now we need a restomod where all the chromed bumpers are painted black...
funny SIKU would use the US version aka Audi5000, as it wasn't sold in germany. the TÜV would throw fits about the typical US position lights and stuff... my brother used to drive the VW Santana in US version for a while, a comission car that wasn't sold in the US, and sent back to germany right away, so had a first german registration. a previous owner had to go to court with TÜV over those puny little lights, and won...
Nice restoration back to its factory colour Jason. I'm not entirely sure that would have been available from Audi themselves. The overall design aesthetic dates back to the NSU and lasted a long time for Audi.
Great job 👍🏻
Looks awesome
Nice one Jason.
I had one in the exact same colour back in the day. Whilst l mainly liked the colour it did seem a bit gaudy but. Very similar to a ford granada mk2 at the rear.
Still good job all round.
Keep 'er lit ya boy ye
Love it.
PERFECT 👍
Siku rules
I don't know if anyone's interested but I have been using Steradent denture cleaning tablets to clean the glass on my cars.Great videos by the way!
That’s a new one on me!
Justjust dropping by to say hello.
I think it looked better in blue, nice job though
I agree, the blue is a far nicer colour in all but the previous owners efforts weren’t great sadly. I wanted to restore this one in metallic green for originality and to match it’s predecessor I showed at the end of the video
@@DieCastRestos yeah I understand what you mean, still you did a fantastic job of restoring it regardless of the colour.
Hi im korean collector. I want make my old matchbox/tomica like you. I have some problem about painting, so i decide to buy tamiya sprays. Can i use tamiya metal primer on the tamiya color sprays named "for plastics"? If i use that way, no paint chips?
Hi, yes I do this all the time. I’m not sure how durable for play they are, but be sure to give the finished models lots of clear coats to help protect it. Hope that helps!
@@DieCastRestosthanks!
🤗❤️👍
i have a bad question ? how you destroy a verry good original paint , i restore broken cars
Usually with caustic soda with boiling water, though sometimes (like with this model) I also need to use a liquid paint stripper too
