Group B tribute: Audi Sport Quattro replica
If you missed out on last week’s sale of this Audi Sport Quattro remake for sale in the US out of Holland, don’t worry. It didn’t make its reserve price, so you’re still in with a chance. If though, in these economic circumstances you’re not sure to splash out EUR55000, ClassicCarHunter has found you a cheaper tribute Quattro for sale in the UK.
At first sight, the two cars look fairly identical. Then you start noticing little details on the outside like rear brake air vents, lug pattern. The Dutch car doesn’t give too much away what it looks like on the inside unfortunately. What both cars do have in common though, is that they have been put together from a couple of different cars to enable a correct-angled windscreen. They have also been shortened.
The biggest difference is undernearth though. While the Dutch Audi features a recent 4.2-litre V8 from the S4 and running gear from the S2, its English cousin sports the 2.3 10v turbo engine, with the original 5-speed quattro transmission. It features a custom Autocraft exhaust and we think sound could be better on the Enlish car.
The English car is for sale from a classic car restorer/tuner/dealer out of Telford, Shropshire UK and can be found here on ebay. Last thing to mention: one will be left hand drive, the other one right hand drive of course!
