I Bought My DREAM Car! | 1983 Audi Ur Quattro

[@swedishmansion8262]

when I was young my dad worked for Audi. And one day my dad took me on ride in a brand new red Audi ur qvattro 1991. That was the best day in my life.....

[@OGCars]

I bet! Thanks for sharing your story!

[@mariumrajah]

Excellent 👌 story

[@grumpyglyn1065]

Congratulations, and well done. It's great to achieve a goal like that !

[@OGCars]

Thank you Glyn!

[@CalvinsCarDiary]

Very cool car sir 👏🏼

[@friggintv9902]

Nice car, however the engine you have is a WR not an MB. A WR is 2.1 and an MB is 2.2 and rarer.

[@OGCars]

Thanks, and yes it is a WR - I've outlined the mistake in the video description already!

[@paulchappell]

Congratulations! Knowing your all-time favourite car, and then finding and buying a good one is a wonderful feeling. It now has its best home with you. The financial stretch is well worth the doing.

[@OGCars]

It has been worth the wait! Thank you Paul!

[@PerfDayToday]

Sweet car.. I was in college when these came out. Used to drool all over my buddy’s car magazines featuring this car. THIS car is why I bought a B5 S4 Avant and then would tune it to stage one 330 ish bhp, plus all the other mods that one would do, brakes, suspension etc. For a brief period, I owned the US spec 4000 Quattro, same Mars red as your UrQuattro. Wish I still had both cars. amazing clean car you have. It looks like that was an original 10 valve, single cam motor?

[@OGCars]

Yep original 10v WR! Do love the look of those 4000 Quattros and the B5 S4 is a car I've heard good things about too!

[@ferguscasey5301]

One of my dream cars too, fair play mate. Just needs a tuned 20v turbo!

[@OGCars]

I'll wait and find an RR when I'm minted and have both! Cheers dude!

[@simonansell3241]

Congratulations. I also have a 1983 quattro, in Helios blue. It looks a very good condition.

[@OGCars]

A great colour as well! Enjoy!

[@XclusiveAaron]

That, is so incredibly cool!!

[@emeraldviking3637]

My cousin had a gold one , digital dash. Amazing machine. Best of luck with it.

[@OGCars]

Thank you! We did look at a gold non turbo some time ago, great colour for them

[@80sAudiSport]

Congratulation on your great find! Welcome to the club of "too young" owners. I noticed you planned sorting out some bits and bobs, that seems like a sensible approach to things; I'd change the police baton for a proper antenna, and sort the aluminium pipe for the injector cooling first. Are you also missing a proper gear knob on this one ? More than anything, it's always a quirk to me seeing a RHD with LHD wipers. :D Enjoy!

[@OGCars]

As I remember the gear knob was attached when purchased, and the topper flew off while driving back from picking it up!

[@Zermattquattro]

Congrats on getting your hands in a decent UR quattro. I have a soft spot for the earlier cars having owned my 84ur for the last 22 years but undeniably the RR was the pinnacle when it comes to the UR (obviously the SQ is a totally different beast and now stratospheric in price). Do drive it a much as you can as a standing WR is not a happy one and they make a great daily. Don’t leave us hanging. Is there any up and coming quattro content planned?

[@OGCars]

Thank you! I do love the earlier flat front, of course the RR was the one to have I guess but it's always been the early one for me! I don't think I'd daily it but that said I've used it for a lovely weekend away and a few other trips out over the last few months - that said, there is some quattro content planned, as I wish to fix a couple of small bits and we've already had some, er, reliability issues! I've got pneumonia currently so haven't filmed anything myself for a few weeks but hopefully we can revisit it again soon! Cheers! -Owen

[@RobClubley]

Nice! Looks like a good example. And it has aircon! Hope it's going well for you.

[@OGCars]

I think the air con has left a little to be desired, but the system is there at least...!

[@NightfallDrives]

Congratulations! Let me know if you might like to feature in my owner stories series 👍😎 This is where things properly started for me (as an 8 year old in my parents UR quattro 😆)

[@OGCars]

You're welcome to take a look at some of our bits if you're around the South Wales area at some point! :D Thanks for watching!

[@NightfallDrives]

@@OGCars thank you so much! I’m definitely going to have to get to Wales again soon, will give you a shout when I do 😎

[@607]

Incredible, man! Congrats. :D You _must_ post about this on EMC!

[@lukesworkshop238]

Congratulatons on the Quattro. Although it sounds like the timing really wasn't ideal (from a finances POV) sometimes you got to bite the bullet, better then waiting another 10 years when they are more like 50k! You also bought a appreciating classic so its a "investment". At least you have a girlfriend who's also passionate about cars else I think you'd be sleeping in your Quattro alongside your four spare wheels haha!

[@OGCars]

Thank you! Yes not quite ideal time wise but I don't think it was ever going to be when it came to the quattro... prices just keep getting higher! You're quite right though, it's not going to lose value and G likes it too so win win!

[@wallacewestmeath]

I had an 88 for ten years. It was two years old when i bought it and i was 22.the brakes were scary as hell and if you kept foot on the brakes at traffic lights , the back lights got hot inside and the bulb circuits would come away from the plastic . The window wonder track would wear out , the door locks had to be replaces and i had to change a section of exhaust every few months . It got written off twice in cases the other car was at fault . I used to have to stick two powerful spotlights when i did a lot of night driving because the headlights are shit but i loved that car for ten years before I had to scrap it after somebody came through a red light , hit me side on and wrecked it .

[@colinyoung9943]

Well done and a charming presentation. Isn't it Tornado Red? It's a lovely example. I was just like you when I was younger, throughout the time I did my degree the Quattro was the target and I eventually landed a D reg (Tornado Red) Quattro Treser. Rose tinted glasses and all that, but I don't think I've owned anything that accelerated like it since. In the same way you won't say what you paid, I won't say what I deeply regret letting it go for. Lovely to see a car like this go to someone who will appreciate it. Well done, again.

[@OGCars]

Thank you! So tornado red was the same as my 88 Coupe GT - it's a deeper red, mars has a more orange tinge to it. The earlier cars came in mars, and as far as I know tornado came and took over soon ish after! Hard to tell which I prefer, but generally I've preferred the look of the earlier cars so it had to be this one! The colour wasn't deal breaker for me but Ashes to Ashes and all that... it goes! :D

[@markroberts35]

Top car mate

[@benhooper1956]

What a brilliant introduction video! To have helped someone achieve their dream has truly been an honour, these cars are so special and you are absolutely worthy! Just one thing, your car has a WR engine, not the MB. The MB was only made for 18 months or so and is super hard to get parts for lol

[@OGCars]

Thank you and thanks again for your help! You're quite right, I updated the description to cater for my mistake!

[@grahamsmith5647]

I’m glad that someone pointed that engine one out… know your detailed facts…👍🏼 So nice to see young blood follow their passion for these iconic cars… he really needs to become a member of the Qoc…😎👍🏼

[@benhooper1956]

[@magnetpull7587]

Congrats! Seems like you bought a very good car, which is great for you but a shame for us limiting the content, still looking forward to seeing it in the videos!

[@OGCars]

There's so much content for the rest of the cars we will never run out so not to worry! Thank you!

[@JamesGadbury]

I can imagine the smell of the interior. My 1985 Audi 80 Sport had a lovely, distinctive smell. Added to the inviting cosiness.

[@VitorBarbosa]

There's 3 engine sounds that I absolutely love: a Toyota 4AGE with ITB's, F1 V10 engines and the Group B Audi Quattro 5-cyl! It's a dream car for a lot of people :) You should take it on some B-roads and film!

[@OGCars]

I can agree to all 3 of those! 5 cylinder Audi has always been my favourite! Can't beat that sound!

[@vorsprung]

Me and you must be kindred spirits pal. I have also just bought a Ur Quattro 1989, as it was my childhood dream car!!!

[@OGCars]

Must be, well done on achieving your dream as well mate! :D

[@StArLioN_]

A blessing!

[@theaquaticsparks]

Hi congratulations on your new quattro. I’ve got a 1986 WR quattro in zermatt silver as featured in my channel. It’s a bit of a project and I’ve owned it for nearly 20 years. Please feel free to check it out 😊

[@OGCars]

Thank you! I'll check it out!

Thank you Terry!

[@SCARSORGofficial]

Beautiful car! I drove many of these back in the 90s when they were worth very little. Wish I had bought one and kept it at the time!

[@OGCars]

It’s crazy how cheap they used to be! There’s receipts for this car in the 90s where a couple of people paid barely over 4k for the car!

[@SCARSORGofficial]

@@OGCarsI bought I 20V Coupe quattro (non-turbo) back in 1996 and had to decide between an ABY stage 2 '84 UrQuattro and the '90 CQ. Being in college I opted for the latter but now wish I had gone for the UrQ. Both were approx. $9000 USD back then.

Beautiful car, reminds of of my brother's VW Passat B2 from the 80s. I do hope you park that in a VERY secure garage out of sight though!

We have CCTV monitored garages - I do like the old Passat B2s!
