SUMMARY
Sitting between the original WR and later 20-valve RR, the MB is the rarest variant. This example is fresh from an extensive recommission after 15 years in storage.
DESCRIPTION
- First introduced in 1980, the Audi Quattro redefined the all-wheel drive performance car sector, with the later MB-engined versions from 1988 featuring the sought after digital dashboard and Torsen differential for improved traction and balance
- Registered in 1988, this UK-supplied MB-engined model was purchased by its current owner as a project and has now been recommissioned after 15 years in dry storage
- Finished in Alpine White with black leather upholstery, fitted with electric windows and mirrors, factory sunroof, power steering, ABS, differential control, front fog lights, headlamp washers and rear spoiler
- The 2.2-litre, 10-valve, five-cylinder turbocharged engine delivers around 240bhp via a 5-speed manual gearbox to the Quattro permanent all-wheel drive system, incorporating a Torsen centre differential to enhance its renowned handling and stability
- The recommissioning included underfloor welding, some paint work, brake lines, fuel lines with new fuel pump filters etc., front brakes rebuilt, fuel metering head sent off and set up, cylinder head off and skimmed with new valve guides and seats
- The history file includes the stamped service book up until 80,000 miles and the current MOT valid until September 2026
- An increasingly sought after modern classic, combining rally-bred engineering, period styling and subtle performance enhancements, ready to use or take to the next level
