80 Quattro 2.8

naffa · 18-01-10, 06:45 PM

I was having a blast along the 'rabbit run' this dinnertime and came up behind then past a red B4 80 badged on the rear as Quattro 2.8

Anyone on here?

Think it was an 'M' reg but it could have been a private plate.

been down it a million times when I used to live in Telford and our Grandparents lived in Smethwick and Smelly Oak, but have no idea why!

The 80q 2.8 was only available from J to K Reg (91-93) before it was replaced by the 2.6. Very rare car, not seen one on the road for years.

There was one for sale at Motorcade in Penkridge come to think of it.
It was up for sale for about 6 months but went to the dentist this morning and noticed it had gone.
That was black with some rust and a scabby rear spoiler.
The garage had it up for £1995.
