Awesome bit of kit. I rebuilt one of these for my mate, after telling him not to go and buy the first one he looked at, he bought the first one he went to look at...:bang:
On the way home he managed to pull the entire front end off (he was having it towed home), so that was the first job...followed by new sills and then, as you couldn't get hold of a new sunroof for decent money he had me filling it in which is no mean feat. I've worked on many cars over the years and this one was probably the hardest, they're difficult cars to work on, but when it was done I was very proud when he had it centre stage on the Audi stand at the annual VAG show.

Richard a beautiful car. I have always fancied a supersport
But had to settle for one of these instead, I had it many years back, now it is sat in mums garage and she is thinking of selling it.
The other 2 i have are a 1927 Aero and a 1938 F2 i must start a rebuild thread on the F2 as i shall shortly be making a real effort with it.
Is that a Lomax based on the 2CV it looks very nice great fun little cars
Regards
Richard

I had a gold one, every panel was a different shade
Mk1 escort was the boy racer motor of choice when I was a lad, handled like a dream

Yes its built on a 2CV with a converted rear suspension arm. no weight to it and its on moterbike tax. lets just say it can be quick when you want it to be.

The missing one from my all-time fave 3 cars - I had the Delta Integrale 16v Eii and the original Cossie that kicked this thread off, but never dropped on the right Quattro.

yup, that's spot-on, same nonsense that saw Austin and Morris produce near enough identical cars in different factories and sell them through separate dealer networks :bang:

Your mate had an Audi Quattro Sport with a sunroof?
Should have left it as it was, it would be the only one in the world

My old Datsun 100a estate. loved it!
I like them too. When I was a youngster Mrs Next Door had one and came around a blind corner on the wrong side of the road and hit me on my bike.
Nice soft landing.
Dammage to Oggy - nil.
Dammage to BSA 250 - dented alloy mudguard (easily beaten out), battery fell slightly forward in carrier.
Dammage to Datsun - bonnet, radiator and grill, front vallence and engine all bent.

How many people can say they buy a classic car expecting reliability.
To me that's the whole point of classic car ownership, when things go wrong it's an excuse to get your hands dirty and fix it!
I can't see those Rovers as classics - They were new when I was an apprentice at Wadham Stringers.

I don't know exactly which model it was, I know it was a quattro and it definately had a sunroof. It leaked and spare parts/complete sunroof wasn't available anywhere. I told him to leave it but he wanted it gone. He doubled his money though and had it shown so I suppose he was happy!

That body shape was also used for the 5 cylinder, naturally aspirated 2226cc coupe quattro, albeit not the short wheelbase with wheelarch extensions. I owned one of those, scrapped it just before Ashes to Ashes came on the telly (which sent the prices of all of the coupes up, not just the **-Quattro).
It is unlikely that a rally homologation special would have a sunroof.

The swear filter doesn't like the common name of the rallying Audi Quattro

Always drooled over these 2
I've played with both of those
My dad did a bare metal resto on a Stag when I was in my teens, original triumph engine rebuilt by my uncle who used to build drag engines in the states.
My 3rd car was a 2.5 190 cosworth. Then I had a few jap turbo motors (200sx's and an RX7) then my Dad gave me his 7.5ltr Pontiac Firebird
My next toy will be a Corvette Stingray or C5 vette
