Audi UR Quattro, 1982
Chassis No.: 85CA901337 Registration: UTT 365 • A very rare and genuine right hand drive UR Quattro • Extensive history file This super rare Audi UR Quattro is one of approximately 20 factory right hand drive cars built to the original German spec UR Quattros, before full right hand drive production started later that year. These differences included the original four headlight front, different wiper location, some first-generation different differential switches and different brakes, some say the full raw Quattro feel. Originally registered on 27th August 1982 (one of the very first factory right hand drive to be registered) and an #85-CA chassis, this official UK-spec UR Quattro is a real survivor. Its period Zebra trim is in great condition and the original Blaupunkt radio cassette still plays those classic 80s tunes. It rides on its refurbished alloy wheels finished in the factory spec Zermatt Silver with period M+S tyres and still retains its supplying dealer rear window sticker and number pates. This car has never been restored and had been in long term ownership for 32 years, prior to being part of a private collection for the last couple of years. Most recently the car has had a major service and refresh by UR specialists AM Cars in Ilminster, Somerset where the knowledgeable staff gave the car a full going through after its recent period of storage. This work included a refresh of the fuel system and fuel tank as well as new brake pipes and a host of other items totalling around £7,500 with the bills on file to detail the works. Prior to the visit to AM Cars the car has previously had cambelts, water pump, clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder replaced together with additional work. The history for this car is huge and comes in three lever arch boxed files, along with some great early documents and technical information. Included in the sale are two sets of additional rare Quattro wheels and some other rare hard to find spares. The cherished number plate of UTT 365 is included in the sale and is thought to have been on the car since new. In the words of DCI Gene Hunt in Ashes to Ashes, it’s time to ………. Fire up the Quattro!
