The Audi Quattro celebrates its 40th anniversary this year and this ur-quattro was one of the very first delivered new to a UK customer back in April 1981. Here, I look back to the time it was launched and do a drive review on some of my favourite roads. I'm afraid this video is slightly compromised video after I lost all the alternative interior driving clips and tracking footage before doing the edit, so the video features my ugly mug when driving rather more than I'd like!

Ah, one of the best cars I ever owned! I had it for 11 years and sold it with 160k miles on the clock. I loved the way it sounded, it used to make the house windows rattle when it pulled up outside :-) I drove it everywhere from the Lake District down to the Aosta Valley in Italy. It was equally at home cruising down the Autoroute or winding its way up a narrow mountain road. The reliability was ledgendary, having previously owned a Triumph and a Vauxhall I was not used to not going to the dealer for spares every week. Over the time I owned it, depreciation was less than £3k! If I had known how much it would have been worth now I would have kept hold of it. Ah happy memories!

Hey Floris, I’m an old dude now, so this is my era. I always wonder how “youth” see such cars; old, basic and for the old fogeys.... or just as legendary? The preservation of such cars and their future maintenance depends on the younger generation. I just wonder if this trickles down in today’s digital age?

There's of course the majority of people I know who are into cars who are great fans of modern supercars (and let's be honest, who isn't amazed by what is possible today in terms of power, sleek design, and technology), but a few others are really into the 'boxy' design of cars from the 80s as well as 90s. I myself am a huge fan of the E30 (and E36, and E38), as well as older Volvo's such as the 240 and 740.

Me too Andy. I was just a nipper when the Quattro was introduced, but I remember watching them charging through the forest stages and Pikes Peak on television with my dad. I was in love with that wonderful 5 cylinder warble and I always wanted him to buy one, but I guess they were a wee bit expensive for a Cortina owner working as a butcher to buy at the time. Later on in life, I dated a woman for a while who owned a 20v model in a lovely metallic gold colour with brown velour interior. I've long since forgotten her name, but I remember the car like I drove it yesterday. I'm not saying it was the prime reason for dating her, but it certainly helped. It was glorious, and a joyous car to drive. I miss it.

There was not so much traffic on the roads back then, I caught a glimpse of red in the rear view mirror someway off in the distance.

The Quattro.....mechanical all wheel drive is amazing. I had a VW Syncro, which shared the same AWD and engine, non turbo, only 120 hp, but a five speed close ratio manual, and crossing route 17 over the Santa Cruz mountain was a blast. Low curb weight, low ground clearance, and 6800rpm redline? Nobody could could pass me. Unless they drove a Porsche and had nerve

1981 or so I was waiting for the school bus on the A488 between Knighton and Clun when I heard some loud cars. As they dipped down into the New Invention I saw they were all rally cars enroute between stages. However, one of them looked and SOUNDED totally different and it stuck with me. Years later I found a 1987 coupe quattro and finally my dream was complete. I used to stand at the front door when my wife would pull away just to hear it. We took it all over Europe before we moved to the USA. My most favorite car ever, Saab 95 Aero and Opel Manta close behind. Thanks for the wonderful review Harry.

Great video once again Harry! :-) One note, you pronounce the car as U. R. quattro, but it's actually ur-quattrro as far as I know. Ur is a prefix in german for original, or something primeval. For example the german line: "Dieser Witz ist wirklich schon uralt!" translates to: "That joke is really ancient!" So the ur-quattro is the "original/pirmeval/first ever quattro" or something similar. Pronounciation is difficult to explain, but the best way I can describe it is that the U is roughly the same tone as the double o in hoover. I'm dutch so it's not that easy to translate German into English hahaha.

Great review as always Harry. I had a digi dash one that used to talk to you, briefly back in the day. Remember ragging it over boxhill one morning. Special.

I remember when my brother had an Audi Coupe 2.2 GT (5 cylinder) in the late eighties, we all loved that car especially it's unique engine sound we used to pretend it was a Quattro purely because of it's sound, lol.

Another great video Harry. Made me feel nostalgic for my 1985 Canadian spec. 1 of 26 I believe, and it had celebrity provenance. Keep ‘em coming.

This is my dream car. I know it's never gonna happen. I know I'll never truly be able to afford one. I've only ever seen 1 Quattro in my life and it was at a Cars and Coffee in Chester back in 2016. I nearly cried. I never sat in it, never touched it, never heard it's engine. But I just looked at it. People say never meet your heroes. I say screw that. I'd love to own one one day. Hell I'd love to even sit in one. I just know that day will never come. This and your Sport Quattro video are wonderful reviews, thank you so much for making them. I can only dream of having one, but watching these videos makes them seem more real and does help ease the pain. Looking forward to some more content :)

I recall ‘borrowing’ a quattrom from Trust motors in Leeds in the late 80’s. More fun than you could shake a stick at. We took it down to Milton Keynes and dcared other road users fartless when we played on the roundabouts. Absolutely fabulous car.

Loved this car since its intception and thru its Group B days. Before the Evo and WRX perfected AWD the Quattro lay the groundwork. The racing and production car world has benefitted greatly.

My family's physician had one from the mid 80s to the early 90s. He lived in the same street, so I often saw the car on my way home from Kindegarten. The looks, the sound - my love for it never faded.
