Description

Estimated Price: £30,000 - £40,000

  • Introduced in 1980, the Quattro was based on the outwardly similar Coupé's bodyshell but used a different floorpan to accommodate its four-wheel drive transmission and independent rear suspension
  • The engine was a development of the five-cylinder, 2.1-litre, single-overhead camshaft unit first seen in the 200 saloon, equipped with a KKK turbocharger and produced 197bhp and 210lb/ft, remarkable at the time
  • Although 17 LHD Quattros were converted to RHD by David Sutton Audi in mid-1981 (#85-BA chassis), many of which have now been restored, our vendor believes that this example was the first factory built, #85-CA chassis, RHD, official UK-spec car
  • Finished in Lhasa Green, a rare colour in Quattro production and particularly so in the very early cars
  • The car was found in 'barn find' state by our vendor a number of years ago and only now comes to sale as he has other more pressing projects
  • First UK-registered on 10/09/1982 and supplied with its V5C (stating RHD) and period literature from Audi VW and Club Audi
  • The car presents really well and whilst we would suggest it would benefit from a level of recommissioning before regular use, this is a very special opportunity to acquire what is understood to be the UK's first right-hand drive, ur-Quattro
