SUMMARY
One of only 295 right-hand drive UK cars, this Nautic Blue 20-Valve (RR) is fresh from a four year full restoration.
DESCRIPTION
The Audi Quattro may not have been the first four-wheel drive production car (that honour belongs to the 1966 Jensen Interceptor FF), but its place in history is assured. Thanks in no small part to its enormous rallying success, the Quattro popularized all-wheel drive and is now regarded as one of the most influential and important sports cars of the 1980s. The brainchild of Jörg Bensinger, an Audi chassis engineer, development work was started in 1977 and three years later, the finished product was released. Although the floor pan had much in common with the Audi 80 and the running gear was largely taken from an Audi 200, the Quattro used a manual centre differential lock (operated by levers next to the handbrake) to govern the 197bhp and 210lb/ft power outputs delivered by the 2.1-litre in-line five-cylinder turbocharged engine.
Introduced in August 1989, the RR was the final development of the Quattro and by the time this particular car arrived in 1990, the crude cable-operated 50:50 split differential had been replaced with a much more advanced Torsen (torque sensing) diff, and the engine had been uprated with double overhead camshafts and a larger 2,226cc capacity, upping power to 217bhp.
Presented in its original factory colour of Nautic Blue, this desirable Quattro 20V (RR) was first registered in the UK on 7th March 1990. It’s on offer from four years current ownership, most of which have been spent in a trim-out, glass-out, rotisserie, bare metal restoration.
The bodyshell was fully stripped, the underside refinished in the correct Raptor Bed and fully sealed before being built up with new heat shields, diffs/driveshafts, new gaiters, seals, poly-bushed, suspension struts, powder-coated subframes, new discs, pads, brake and fuel lines and more. The engine is original and was fully stripped and all parts vapour-blasted before being re-bored and rebuilt with 0.5mm oversize pistons. The radiator was re-cored and numerous engine ancillaries were restored or replaced. Prior to reassembly, the bodyshell was prepared and painted in its original Nautic Blue and we understand that this alone cost over £18,000. New bespoke tyres were sourced from Longstone Tyres at a cost of £1,000 and the wheels were refurbished and finished in the correct factory colour. The interior benefited from new carpets from Coverdale, a NOS rear parcel shelf and a brand new OE period-look Blaupunkt head unit was fitted.
We understand that many thousands have been invested in returning this rare 20-Valve Quattro to top form and as can be seen in our images, the results are very impressive
