AUDI S1 SPORT QUATTRO FOR SALE
HANNU MIKKOLA`S 1986 S1 SPORT QUATTRO
This is a supremely accurate recreation of the ‘Group B’ rally Audi Quattro SWB which came third in 1986 Monte Carlo Rally in the capable hands of the late Hannu Mikkola and Arne Hertz. The level of construction, quality of engineering and attention to detail bear comparison to the ‘works’ cars and very rarely does such an exacting copy of the era-defining Factory Quattro cars come to market.
The shell was constructed in exactly the same way that the original factory cars were by mating the front half of an Audi 80 bodyshell with the rear end of the road-going Quattro. After many hours of preparation, the shell was fitted with a Historic Cage and is a copy of the original ‘works’ cage but fabricated to modern safety standards (the cage wears ‘Matter’ decals as the works cages were made by them). The build was started in the summer of 2010 overseen by the renowned historic Audi rally-car builder, Jamie, but, such was the need to source original factory parts from all over the world to create this sensational Historic Group b machine.
Here we have the most sensational Audi S1 E2 Sport Quattro built using original ex factory parts making this S1 the closest you can get to a factory car in the world.
Built to this stage has taken over 12 years with sourcing original parts from UK to the whole of Scandinavia across more or less all countries in Europe and from South Africa Motorsport and as far as America.
There was only 20 original factory cars made with 2 of which have been dismantled.
This S1 for sale is an exact rebuild with factory parts of one of those that was dismantled which is car number 014 Hannu Mikkola`s. MonteCarlo S1.
This S1 has been built to the original 250 page Audi Sport Build manual.
