The 20v Avant Registry

Submit Your Car Now

The 1991 200 20v Avant has always been a unicorn here in North America, with the widely accepted number of just 149 cars making it to our shores. Not all examples have survived through time, and that’s where the new 20v Registry comes in to try and document the existence of as many as possible.

If you are a current owner of a 20v Avant, you may use the form below to submit your vehicle. Please note that you must submit at least one image of your car. Photos may also be submitted to t44brian@gmail.com or sent via Instagram @t44brian.

If you are a former owner of a 20v and know the current owner, or you know someone who has one, please send them here to fill out the form. If you owned a 20v that is known to no longer exist, you may also submit your information here so we can try and get as close to 149 submissions as possible!

Below the Submission form is an Unclaimed list of potential survivor cars we are trying to accurately track down. If one of these cars sounds like yours or you know the owner, please claim it!

Please Note: This Registry is specifically focused on collecting data for the 149 North-American-bound 1991 20v Avants. The registry is not intended to track 20v Sedans or 20v Avants that were originally delivered outside of North America.

UNCLAIMED

(49 CARS)

This part of the Registry features 20v Avants that either no longer exist, or it is unlikely the current owners will submit to the Registry. Therefore, I have taken the liberty to document these vehicles myself using saved photos and information I’ve collected over time. If your vehicle is featured in this section please feel free to step up and claim it so we can more accurately track where these cars are now!

This registry, combined with examples that have not been duplicated from the original (viewable here), may give us around 130-140 cars in total. Excitingly, that means that most of the cars in my estimation were documented at least once.

Unclaimed 1, 2, 3, and 4 (New Paltz, NY Collection)

Notes: VINs are unknown. These 20v Avants were last known to be part of a larger Audi collection somewhere in New Paltz, NY. The collection made internet rounds in January 2025 and was being offered as an all-or-nothing package deal by an individual who may have been a former employee of the now defunct Shokan Audi. It is unknown if these cars, along with nearly 20+ other cars in this private collection, did end up selling, but it is highly likely they still exist in some form; though a restoration on any of these four would not be for the faint of heart.

Unclaimed 5 (Lavonia, GA Collection)

Bamboo/Travertine Comfort TMU

Notes: VIN is unknown. This Avant is a lone 20v example in a literal forest of old Audis located in Lavonia, GA. The private collection of nearly 50+ cars, with plenty being other 20v examples (all sedans, however), are slowly being parted out or sold by the owner. This car, however, is “planned” for restoration. According to the owner this has been off the road since at least the early 2010s. Given its current state, this is another Avant that may unfortunately be lost to its circumstances.

Unclaimed 6 (Salvage, May No Longer Exist)

Bamboo/Travertine Comfort 220K

Notes: Vin is unknown. This vehicle was easily identifiable by smoked taillights. It was featured on blogs and forums when listed for sale in 2016 with about 220K miles. Sometime pre-2020 this example was rear-ended and sold at auction on CoPart, eRepairables, or IAAI. If memory serves correctly, it was auctioned off either in Washington or Montana. It is unknown if the car was rebuilt or scrapped as it has not to my knowledge resurfaced since. 

Unclaimed 7 (Salvage, May No Longer Exist)

Panther Black/Travertine Sport 184K Last 6 of VIN: 003641

This was sent to auction via Copart as a donation car sometime in 2020 from Englishtown, NJ. It was not running at the time and its whereabouts today are unknown.
