1985 AUDI QUATTRO

KEY FACTS

  • This genuine ‘Ur-Quattro’ is a beautifully presented and mechanically strong example of the motoring icon.
  • Features a turbocharged 2.1-litre inline-five cylinder motor paired with a five-speed manual transmission
  • The Quattro was the first front-engined car to feature a permanent four-wheel drive system and turbocharged engine, and went on to become a rally legend.

EQUIPMENT AND OPTIONS

  • Delivered with air-conditioning, green digital LCD dash, and black leather interior from the factory
  • The Quattro has been fitted with a stainless steel exhaust system, and to the current owner’s knowledge is otherwise standard
  • Sold with the full set of Australian import documents, a comprehensive service history, tax discs and MOT from its life in the United Kingdom, and tool kit.

CONDITION

  • No known bodywork damage.
  • Various touch-ups have been performed over the years, including the front driver-side wing, which has faded differently to the rest of the paint, indicating that it was resprayed at some point in the car’s life.
  • The Tornado Red paintwork is mostly original and has been very well preserved. A few stone chips are present in exposed areas, as is to be expected.
  • Likewise, the original black leather interior is in good order. The gear lever top is slightly worn from use, but otherwise everything is in very good condition.
  • The car is mechanically strong and everything works well, including the electric windows, the LCD dash and the air-conditioning - which blows strong and cold. The electric aerial is stuck halfway down, but functions.
  • A technical inspection was carried out on 13 March 2021 and the car passed without warning or advisory.

SERVICE HISTORY

  • Eagle & Raymond Automotive carried out a full service and tune at 118,000 miles, including replacing the front ABS sensors, a full rebuild of the fuel injection distributor, servicing and recharging the air-conditioning, and installing a new battery
  • Prior to that work, the entire cooling system was replaced, with a new upgraded radiator, new cooling fan and new water hoses also installed.
  • Rear differential oil seals, brakes and tyres have also been serviced recently.
