1985 Audi Quattro UT | Pevensey Bay, East Sussex

A 1985 Audi Quattro, the turbocharged five-cylinder coupé that put permanent four-wheel drive into fast road cars and onto the rally stage. It is known for its square-cut 1980s body and flared wheel arches. A red Quattro also became Gene Hunt's car in Ashes to Ashes. This car is blue with a grey interior and is in excellent condition. It is unmodified, with the 2.1-litre turbocharged engine as the factory built it, and the cabin has room for four. The wide arches and upright lines fill the frame well. For 1980s-set film and TV, the shape does the period work on its own. Advertising, photography and music video suit its square lines and rally-bred stance, and the blue reads well against city and coast alike. Rally-themed events are a natural home too. It also suits a wedding or a milestone day out. The car is based in Pevensey Bay, East Sussex.
