Overview

Offered for sale is an exceptional 1987 Audi UR Quattro, widely regarded as one of the most significant performance cars of its era and the model that established Audi's legendary quattro drivetrain.

This particular example has benefited from a no-expense-spared bare-metal restoration completed by the previous owner, who specifically sought out a sound, original and unmodified car as the basis for the project. The result is a beautifully presented UR Quattro that remains faithful to its original specification while benefiting from extensive mechanical and cosmetic refurbishment throughout.

Showing 159,500 miles, the car is accompanied by a comprehensive history file and extensive photographic documentation covering the restoration from start to finish.

 

Restoration & Mechanical Work

The shell was stripped to bare metal, with all necessary corrosion repairs professionally completed before being seam-sealed, rust-proofed and repainted throughout. Suspension and chassis components were removed, refurbished and refinished, with new fixings and bushes fitted throughout.

The original 10-valve turbocharged five-cylinder engine has been comprehensively rebuilt, including refurbishment of the fuel metering head and fuel injection system, overhaul of the turbocharger, renewal of the cooling system and refurbishment of the intercooler.

Additional work includes:

• New clutch

• Rebuilt suspension

• New bushes and links

• New braking system throughout

• Stainless-steel exhaust system

• Serviced transmission and driveline components

The car has seen virtually no use since completion of the restoration and has been stored indoors.

 

Interior

The interior remains largely original and has been carefully preserved rather than replaced.

The original cloth seats, trim panels, dashboard, digital instrument cluster and Blaupunkt stereo are all retained and present exceptionally well. The cabin offers exactly the authentic period feel expected from a well-preserved UR Quattro.

 

Exterior

Finished to an exceptional standard, the bodywork is straight with excellent panel fit throughout.

The original alloy wheels have been professionally refurbished and finished in gloss white, fitted with new tyres. Original glass is retained throughout and remains in excellent condition.

A set of original four-ring decals is included with the sale should the next owner wish to fit them.

 

History File

The car is supplied with:

• Original service book

• Original owner manuals

• Previous MOT certificates

• Extensive service history

• Comprehensive photographic restoration record

• Restoration invoices and supporting documentation

 

Summary

Finding a genuinely restored, largely original UR Quattro is becoming increasingly difficult. This example combines extensive documented restoration work with originality, provenance and exceptional presentation throughout.

A rare opportunity to acquire one of Audi's most iconic and influential models in collector-grade condition.

Yes, private sale, I'm selling on behalf of my boss who wants me to sell several classic cars for him, this being one. Happy to verify in any way if needs be.

Just to clarify for any interested members, although you are selling the car, you aren’t the registered owner, and the ‘registered?’ owner has a number of cars which he wants to sell.
