Audi Quattro

Description

Quattro….one word that Audi have made the Hallmark of their brand. This 1988 Audi Quattro model is where it all started, a high performance Audi 4×4 that was available to everyone. The perfect Nautic Blue Metallic paintwork, highlights the cars sharp lines and gently bulging wheelarches incredibly well.

This particular car is in outstanding condition, cosmetically and mechanically and its history is fully documented with over 100 invoices / MOT’s that support mileage and extensive maintenance. In 2007 a replacement engine was fitted with a low mileage donor with just 18,000 miles on it and today the total has risen to just 39,000 miles.

One of the untold joys of the Audi Quattro is just how easy it is to live with: unobstructed visibility, clever Bosch Motronic injection and engine management, a cohesive drivetrain and a friendly clutch action make it a cinch to select first gear and pull away with minimal fuss. Picking gears in the five-speed gearbox is straightforward, the change itself is mechanical, precise and enjoyable in action, but doesn’t like to be rushed. Slow and accurate is best.

This really is an iconic car in the world of “young timers”. Performance, grip and useability make this a very easy and enjoyable car to live with.
