The awesome rare car thread

[ELVA164]

There's a little shop/dealership/??? about 40 mins from me with a white Sport Quattro parked in front of it. What an amazing car. Over the years, I've seen two 3.0CS's there, a CSL road car, a few nice E28's, and a bunch of other euro stuff. I have no idea what's going on there, and I never have a chance to stop because we only pass by on the way to race weekends.

The cars you saw 5 of in one place, and the picture you posted are VASTLY different cars.

Those and that picture are Audi UR quattros. The one I posted is a Sport quattro.

These are not the regular fastback UR you see a bunch of all the time. They didn't sell the Sport in the US.

Yeah I know the difference, didn't realize you meant the sport quattro specifically. Makes a bit more sense why you haven't seen one lol.

Wow, no one yet, eh?

My rare-as-rocking-horse-shit dream car.



Have still never seen one in person. I would sell the E30 and (LITERALLY) give a nut for this car if the opportunity ever came available.

If that car belongs to Audi NA, I have sat in it. It is awesome. They bought it back from a race shop that had two, on built for pikes peak, and that one....
Here is the link to my thread.

^ I feel like I've seen a few of those cars before...The Ferrari was at Road America I think and the I think the Mclaren was bought from a friend of mine.... Weird.

[BimmerTim]

The Ferrari 333sp was at RA, and so was I. The first pic of it was taken at RA from the lift gate of our truck.

Also, the McLaren was bought from Dave Handy of Sasco, and it was White with a large orange stripe. We took the bodywork off and had it painted with the red white and blue.

Mine, I very very rarely see any others, even at VW shows.

I need to put the BBS wheels back on it.

Awesome! I didn't expect to meet another vintage race mechanic on here. Dave's a great guy, and the McLaren came out looking beautiful. Good luck with it!

And to keep this post relevant, here are some more of my picks:

My Dad's old 1959 Elva Courier Mk1:



1958 Lotus 11 Le Mans Sports racer (driven by a 77-year-old, no less):



1964 Ginetta G4:

Basically the Hummer Lambo made - the LM002... About 6mpg or something, HAHAHA!
