always wanted one since my dad had one when i was younger.this is the short wheelbase version owned by dialynx

Now is that stunning or what - still remember those blasting through the N.Wales woods - made standing around in the rain soooooooo worth while :dance:

 

Have played around with so many UR Quattros over the years and a mates just rebuilt an original, very early, long wheel base homologation version as an exact replica of the first rally versions.

 

Do you remember the Pikes Peak Version? incredible car :bow: could go on all day about them :rolleyes:

yes mate. incredible car. got all the 80s rallying videos of the ur quattro and the integrale. i know the lad who owns that quattro. as there was only 200 short/sport quattros made he does the conversion. its 320mm shorter than the original. i drove an original only last week and for a car that is 22 years old it handled fantastically.

has some incredible drivers aswell. walter rohl, michelle mouton. it still holds the record for the pikes peak hill climb

Never been in the road version of the shorty but been a passenger in a rally version, absolutely awesome.

 

Remember years ago going to a hill climb and this guy turned up with an original rally shorty on a trailer for the event and was towing it with a green road version :shock: was stunned!!!

 

There used to be a place in Royal Leamington Spa we used to go to that had about 3 rally versions including a pikes peak one and a couple of rally stratos's too. He used to have all the moulds for the bonnets and wings, we've still got one of the bonnets on an old 80 sport. Absolutely loved all the old Group B rally stuff - Quattro, T16, Delta S4, 6R4 and yeh the UR Quattro's, short and long, are still a great car even after 26 years!!!!

Have actually met Michelle Mouton briefly - only woman to win an international rally. Me and a mate used to be members of the Quattro club and got invited to the RAC Rally's 50th anniversary dinner in 1994 and she was there along with hosts of others, even managed to get her signature on the menu, along with Stig Blomquist's and Bjorn Waldegard and a few others.

 

But out of all of them Walter was simply a genius, have got a video of him driving portugal in a shorty, absolutely flat out, and all you can see is about 10 mtrs of road ahead as the crowds part in front of the car. Looks as though he is dancing with his foot work on the pedals :bow:

rallying just isnt the same now. they used to do 0-60 in 2.7 seconds. that is quick. if anyone is interested this car is up for sale. 20 grand tho.

got the same video mate. stunning footwork. the video you are talking about is fantastic. but it just shows how dangerous it was. the cars are going at over 100mph and are only 2 feet away from spectators.

Lovely motor, the swb, quattro, last one i saw racing was at Brands hatch rallycross, with an RS200, and will gallops metro 6R4, , Would love one now, rare as rocking horse poo. yum.

you can pick the ur-quattro up at decent prices. you wont get a proper short quattro tho. not unless you have 100 grand lol

Yep was truly dangerous and ended up with Henri getting killed and the RS200 flying off into the crowds which sounded the death bell for the Group B cars :cry:

 

The problem wasn't the cars, it was the damn crowd control, although Henri did state that after the first time he took the Delta S4 out on the RAC rally that he didn't know exactly how he had managed to keep the thing on the road as it was more luck than skill.

 

I only wish I had 20k spare..................would truly be a dream come true!!
