The owner is such a nice guy and his respect to the last wish of his dead friend is great.

I had no idea about that.........it's a touching tribute and I'm sure all the guys here will help out if they can. Thanks Stefanie.

I wish I had a barn, I'd look in there every night to see if something turned up.

Will be interesting to watch these cars being brought back to life.

There's an good selection of cars surfacing, from Derek's 80GT to this brace of group A cars. Would be nice to see them all together one day!

Thats going to be such a great car once again when its restored. Superb stuff!

Hello to everyone.
It is nice to find so good Audi site. Thanks to Kari Mäkelä and John Hanlon.
My name is Jukka Suvisalmi and I have now these AUDI 200 Q in Finland. I actually have known them for many years. My good friend, Esa Saarenpää had "fingers" on with these Audi 200. Esa didn’t own these cars but his best friend Timo Viitala did. Their first idea was to change a new body from a street car to this "rally project" and destroy these two chassis. I make them to change the plane and make them understanding for the unique history of these cars. Cars have been storage for many years, waiting for rebuild.

Suddenly our friend Esa Saarenpää died 23.04.2009 and everything goes down.
After a few months for that, Timo and I discus for these project’s and what to do with them.
After Esa and Timo understand the fantastic history and ID, Esa always say "It must be rebuild". That is what we are now doing.
So we make a deal, Timo and me.
I bought these AUDI's from Timo and restored it. First we spoke only for the Ex.Röhl but I thing we do bought for these cars, if we can find missing parts to Ex.Armin car too.
So that is a short story from these AUDI's history and from that project.
I hope you go to my website and see a little story one of the best AUDI driver ever in Finland (after H.Mikkola) Esa Saarenpää. http://www.g-forum.net/articles/esa.html

So now I am collecting all info what is available from AUDI 200 Quattro cars.
Photos, details and so one…
I am going, with Timo to visit Audi Museum in this weekend 9-11.10 to see some cars and to buy some books.
The rebuild start after I get my ALPINE 110 redy. Maybe at the end of 2010.

All help is very well come and all ready a big thanks to Stefanie and Franz Lang.

Thanks to you all and have a nice weekend.

Jukka and Timo
