SUMMARY
An early production, UK-supplied, right-hand drive car well presented in a rare colour.
DESCRIPTION
- 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
- This example was UK-supplied in 1982 and, whilst little of its early history is known, it is undoubtedly one of the earliest, right-hand drive, CA-chassis cars imported to the UK
- Finished in Lago Blue, 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 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 an early, right-hand drive Quattro
