The Appeal

Few cars did more to reshape the modern performance-car landscape than the Audi Quattro. Launched in 1980, it combined turbocharged five-cylinder power with permanent all-wheel drive in a way that was genuinely radical for a road car of its time, and its rallying success helped prove the layout’s value far beyond Audi’s own model lineup.

This example, B227 ECF, is particularly evocative as specified, with a brown cloth interior embossed with “quattro” script and the distinctive digital LCD instrument cluster that gives these cars such a strong 1980s identity. The interior is understood to be specific to the 1984 model year, adding further interest for collectors and marque enthusiasts.

The seller speaks highly of the car’s overall condition, colour combination, driving experience and extensive service history. Recently serviced and now MOT-exempt, it presents a rare opportunity to buy a well-preserved example of one of the defining performance cars of its era.

BEFORE YOU BUY

This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following:

✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, meaning consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you’re still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions..

✓ We request that a non-refundable fee be paid if you’re the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates.

✓ This vehicle is “Sold As Seen” on an “As Is Where Is” basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are for guidance only, and it’s customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind.

✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing.
