Hi and welcome!

The ur-Quattro is one of my favorites. Confession time - I've owned two of these!

The first one was a 1983 - single headlights, pre-abs, analogue instruments, silver with brown cloth and sunroof. I was living in Switzerland at the time and went to London to buy this car so it would be RHD as I planned to take it to Australia, which I did in 1988. I was returning to Europe in early 1989 so I sold it to Audi of Sydney who used it as a display car for several years.

The second one was a 1985, with abs, digital instruments, metallic black with black leather. I also bought this in London (RHD again) and this one came to Australia in 1990. I had it in pieces for a while, mainly to fit air conditioning using all factory parts, many of which are shared with the Audi 5+5 which made it a little easier!

I was in touch with a few other ur-Quattro owners in Sydney, I have a photo somewhere of 8 ur-Quattros parked in the forcourt of the Sydney Opera house (including my two) with the harbour bridge in the background early one Sunday morning.

Last I heard both cars are still around, the silver one in Sydney and the black one in Adelaide. I've seen your car before in Sydney (around 1991?) - there can't be another 82 RHD in that colour in Australia!

[luke_how]

[MIK]

I used to, when i can, works gets in the way... and not having a car that moves... If you'd ever seen (or heard) a burgandy liberty rs turbo a few years ago that was me...
known scotty for years...when he started up, i had to get my work done there or i would have been disowned by the family
