"It’s hard to imagine finding another Urquattro with the same owner since new, so untouched and well-maintained as this one, and with less than 100,000 kilometers on the odometer. The advice can only be one: Buy!"

"It’s hard to imagine finding another Urquattro with the same owner since new, so untouched and well-maintained as this one, and with less than 100,000 kilometers on the odometer. The advice can only be one: Buy!"

Description

The man who bought the Urquattro new in 1990 and has used and cared for it since is named Carl Österberg. He welcomes us to the specially rented garage at a discreet address, turns off the alarm, and opens the door. There it stands, gleaming, the car that Carl ordered new from Bilkompaniet in Enköping. It was on January 19, 1990, that Calle ordered the car. After an eternity of waiting, he finally picked it up on April 25, 1990. Calle paid 368,000 SEK for the car, including the extras he selected: air conditioning, sunroof, leather upholstery, and a remote-controlled car alarm. But then there’s an unusual addition: a tow bar. Calle laughs when he sees my puzzled look.

“I towed the caravan with the Quattro on vacation. It was a twin-axle Solifer. It was perfect for overtaking. It’s chipped and has 280 horsepower and 410 Nm of torque at 2000 rpm. I never liked being stuck in caravan queues and dawdling. So in the uphill sections, I would effortlessly pass other vacationers,” Calle explains. He goes on to say that driving 100 to 120 miles on a holiday was not uncommon.

Calle recounts that this was actually the third Quattro he had bought new. He purchased a Urquattro in 1983, which he traded in for an Audi 100 Avant Quattro in 1985. “It was getting cramped in the Coupe, so we needed a car that worked with the baby stroller,” Calle says.

By 1990, the baby stroller was no longer needed, so Calle went for a new Urquattro again. When we ask why he kept it for 34 years, Calle says he was on the verge of selling it after just a few years. He asked for 200,000 SEK, and the potential buyer offered 190,000 SEK.

“I liked the car, so I kept it instead and never regretted it. The car was driven less and less frequently. At some point, it just felt natural to preserve the car and only drive it on special occasions,” Calle explains.

Calle mentions that he has always been meticulous about keeping the car in top condition and ready to drive, even during the periods it was off the road. He is now selling the car via Bilweb Auctions, hoping it will bring joy to a new Quattro enthusiast. A range of documents, inspection papers, and receipts will be included with the car. See the pictures for a selection.

As we thank him for the visit and get ready to leave, Calle pulls the cover off the car next to the Urquattro. There stands a ready-to-drive Ford Shelby GT500, gleaming. So even though Calle is now selling his gem, he still has the option to drive a sports car whenever the mood strikes.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The five-cylinder inline engine has a 2.2L capacity with dual overhead camshafts and 20 valves, equating to 4 valves per cylinder. In its factory configuration, the power output was rated at 220 hp. The owner had the engine chipped in the early 1990s, which reportedly increased the power to 280 hp and torque to 410 Nm at 2000 rpm.

    In recent years, both the radiator and condenser have been replaced. The timing belt and water pump were replaced in 2016 at 88,730 kilometers. The brake discs were replaced in 2018. Everything, including the air conditioning, functions perfectly.

  • Interior condition:

    The original leather upholstery is in fantastic condition. It’s evident that the owner has taken great care of the car and that it has only covered 90,000 kilometers. It’s hard to find any wear and tear. The owner mentions that he has conditioned the leather at least every other year. Upon careful inspection, we found a bit of adhesive residue on the glove compartment lid, the only noted flaw. The owner had a mobile phone handset mounted here in the 1990s. See the pictures for details.

  • Exterior condition:

    The exterior is in excellent condition. The original paint from 1990 is in very good shape. The owner mentions that it has only been touched up around the fender edges and sills on one occasion due to stone chips. The front has a normal amount of stone chips for its age and mileage, nothing particularly noteworthy. See the pictures for details.

  • General condition:

    A very good overall impression. This is a car model people recognize and like. During the photoshoot, a crowd gathered, so we took the opportunity to hand out flyers for the upcoming auction.

Facts about the model

An icon in automotive history and a crucial part of Audi’s heritage. It also laid the foundation for today’s rally cars. Audi was the first to compete in World Rally Championship (WRC) events with a four-wheel-drive “standard car.” The five-cylinder engine, lockable differentials (center and rear), and the quattro logo integrated into the rear window defroster lines are just a few of the most striking features that the Audi quattro was equipped with. The first model years had analog instruments, but in 1983 the quattro received digital instrumentation.

Between 1980 and 1991, a total of 11,452 units were produced. From 1981 to 1985, the Audi quattro, in various forms, secured 23 WRC victories, eight of which were achieved by our own Stig Blomqvist.
