SUMMARY
Running and driving, UK-supplied Quattro Turbo project. Parked for years, its restoration has stalled and this now presents an interesting opportunity.
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
- Powered by a 2,144cc, five-cylinder, 10-valve SOHC with a turbocharger and intercooler generating 197bhp
- This UK-supplied, Tornado Red example is understood to have been parked against a hedge for many years, hence the extreme difference between the condition of the offside and the nearside
- Purchased from a deceased estate, it has now become a stalled project. Our vendor, having carried out much work on the mechanical side, is unable to complete the body restoration
- Running and driving and the underside appears surprisingly solid
- We invite interested parties to carefully inspect the car to establish for themselves just how much work will be required to return this classic Audi to the road
