Cosworth Benz (top gear inspired)

I think I'll have to go make an offer on the Audi down the street then. Thanks for the info...

You talking an Ur Quattro?

Details.

Any questions on these cars, please ask. I've had the pleasure of owning one for the last 10 years.

[Farbin Kaiber]

Yeah, I'm assuming it's not the pricey model, but I'll be on it anyway. Pics in a day or so.

I want an Ur-quattro, but all I ever really see are Coupe GT's.

[Sepp]

Awesome.
Fantastic cars, even though they are 25+ years old...

[Farbin Kaiber]

So I assume the long wheelbase is denoted by the long rear quarter glass. Any links to the differences?

[Holland]

Coupe GT, FWD Long wheelbase:



Ur-Quattro, AWD Long wheelbase Turbo:



Sport Quattro, AWD, Turbo, short wheel base:

So walk away on a Coupe GT? Steal it if it's a barnfind Ur-Quattro?

[Holland]

If the Coupe GT is in good shape for a good price then why not? It's the least desirable, it's no rally king, and it's the slowest but they aren't bad cars. you could always 20v swap them if you don't mind having a front hooker.

Coupe GT's are cool cars, but non-turbo/FWD, makes them very front end heavy...and not powerful enough to correct with the throttle.

Not easy to make them quick...other than a swap! And they don't looks as mean as an UrQ

I'd buy one for the right price, but they are no comparison to an E30.

Edit, I keep posting after Holland, but unaware...so sorry for the redundancy.

It's ok, I am no expert with these cars, I just used to have an interest in them so I'm sure you have more info than I do on them.

I keep checking this thread hoping to see a project car on a trailer at someone's house.

I'm almost more interested to see what other people are gonna pick up!

Not to take away from the audi discussion (i'm interested, keep it up!), but the porsche was pretty much a pile o shit. The PO painted over the original yellow paint with an orange-red that's chipping off, the exhaust is completely rusting off, body seems nice enough, speedo doesn't work along with most other gauges, I have a feeling the clutch is on its way out based on the way he was driving (he didn't let me drive it ), seems like too much work for the money. I'd rather get a benz or something else cool..

There's no link, but another local guy has an 82 Rolls Royce Silver Spur, with a chevy 350 swapped in. Paint looks great, much like the one posted below, the interior looks good from what I could see, I'll give him a call tomorrow and see what the dealio is..

Too slow. ;)

...:( sad thing is your right.
