20v Avant (Lago)

The Final Conquest?

We are no stranger to road trips: this was a mild 15-hour drive home from Tennessee.

Most of the Audis I’ve owned have self-manifested their way to me, but a particularly troublesome car to track down has always been a Lago Blue 20v Avant. And yes, I’ve now had my fair share of Lago wagons, starting with an ‘89 100 Wagon, then two 20v Avants in 2019 and 2022, plus two Lago 100 sedans. Problem is… Lago cars are always beat. And 20v Avants are generally beat regardless of configuration. So… the 1:18 Lago Blue die cast starting at me from my bookcase of Audi trinkets has been a reminder that we have done a lot, but there’s one more car to finally find. And now, it’s here!

SIGIL OVERVIEW

Personality Profile: This 20v Avant presents and drives more like a dad-car than some of its sixth-owner boy-racer-aspirational counterparts. We don’t have high mileage, rust, or true mechanical problems on this vehicle (yet). It may very well be the most untouched and original Lago of the 149 bunch.

Odd & Unique About This Car: As unique as the 20v Avants are, there’s nothing terribly remarkable about this example outside of its level of preservation. 20v Avants came fully equipped from the factory like their V8 quattro siblings with only choice of comfort or sport seat configuration (at no added cost) and paint color (also at no added cost outside of opting for Pearl White). 20v Sedan and Avants are configured with the same equipment outside of factory cell phone and Bose audio system, which were never available on Avant body styles for this generation.

Name Origin: Sigil derives from Latin; sigillum for “little sign” which is believed to hold occult power in astrology or magic. These cars tend to have their own chaotic aura, and they seem to manifest back to me in strange ways.

The Lago/Platinum setup equivalently as common as Pearl/Platinum, which as dated, but desirable palettes.
