GENERAL CONDITION
This Audi Quattro presents in remarkable condition thanks to a thorough restoration carried out to high standards.
The body has been completely stripped down before receiving a full respray as well as the famous San Remo 1984 decoration, reproduced with great care.
The interior is perfectly in keeping with the spirit of the era and offers exceptionally neat, well-finished presentation.
The whole package is supported by a reassuring documented history, with mileage records maintained since 1997.
A full appraisal carried out in 2026 confirms the overall quality of this restoration.
HISTORY
This example has clear provenance.
It previously belonged to the President of the La Fare-les-Oliviers motor club before being acquired by its current owner in 2017.
For many years, the vehicle has benefited from rigorous technical inspection checks and a consistent, coherent mileage history.
A RALLY LEGEND
When it was launched, the Audi Quattro permanently changed the rally world by imposing all-wheel drive against a backdrop of competition that was still, for the most part, rear-wheel drive.
Its famous turbocharged five-cylinder engine paired with the Quattro system makes it both performance-ready and hugely appealing.
