Description
The legendary Audi quattro (a.k.a. Ur-Quattro). This one is a Canadian spec model (1 of 9 delivered in Canada that year I was told). The '84 model is very rare and sought after. It has a lot of the improvements made after the more common '83 such as an updated interior, relocated fuse box to under the hood etc. Some key points: - no sunroof - very rare color: Oceanic Blue - grey leather interior - very low mileage - metric instrument cluster (Canadian) Recent work - fully refurbished diff loc...
Our Take:
- The 1984 Audi quattro is a true piece of automotive history, often lovingly referred to as the Ur-Quattro—a nod to its status as the original of its kind. This Canadian spec model is particularly rare, being one of just nine delivered to Canada that year. Imagine the roads this beauty has graced! It's practically a unicorn among cars; enthusiasts worldwide have a soft spot for these early quattro models, especially those with such a storied provenance.
- Distinctive features like the Oceanic Blue paint and lack of a sunroof make this vehicle even more unique. The grey leather interior paired with the metric instrument cluster—a nod to its Canadian roots—are details that are worth more than just a passing glance. This car tells a story with every kilometer that's been driven.
- Carefully curated upgrades and refurbishments enhance its appeal without compromising authenticity. The lightweight Kevlar trunk lid and flat Cibie headlights contribute to both performance and aesthetic, while the inclusion of all original parts (like the classic US bumper and quad headlights) offers a comforting assurance to purists who value originality. It's like getting the best of both worlds: enhanced performance with a nod to its heritage.
- Recent restorations ensure it's in excellent condition, with significant work completed like the timing belt replacement and brake booster system overhaul. The refurbishment in 2019, addressing rust and wear, means this quattro is not just a pretty face—it's ready for the open road, reliable and raring to go! After all, what's the point of a classic car if you can't take it out for a spin?
