Corgi VA12901B Audi Quattro Pearl Effect White LHD

Introduced in 1980 the Audi quattro was originally envisaged as a low volume motorsports homologation special. However, worldwide demand for a car that became a legend during its own production life was such that Audi continued to develop the car through the 1980s. They added ABS brakes in late 1983 and progressively more powerful engines until the quattro finally ceased production on 1st March 1991 after 11,452 examples had been built. The car modelled here in stunning, and expensive, Pearl Effect white (paint-code GÇÿOA9GÇÖ) benefited from AudiGÇÖs September 1984 onwards restyle which incorporated a sloping grille and headlamps, a colour coded boot-spoiler, black tinted rear lights and 8Jx15 Ronal alloy wheels.
