Description
This car was ordered new in 1986 by Sven-Erik "Svempa" Bergendahl. According to unconfirmed reports, only 14 Urquattros were sold in Sweden in 1986, out of 774 produced that year. Svempa's quattro had only covered 14 kilometers when it was rolled into the garage and rebuilt.
Designer Janne Richter was responsible for the styling, while Lars-Inge Johansson performed the sheet metal work. When the car rolled out again, it was both lower and wider. It was lowered by 8 cm and widened by 30 cm. The car was completely rebuilt in sheet metal, and the welding seams were lead-filled. Both the fenders and doors were widened.
In simple terms, Janne Richter's design was based on stretching out the car's original lines. The spoiler on the trunk lid was also built entirely in sheet metal. The car attracted a lot of attention, and the result was published in Bilsport magazine no. 10, 1987.
The odometer now reads 76745 kilometers, and we have no reason to believe otherwise. The car has had 7 registered owners since new. Since 1994, it has had 2 users. The current owner bought it in 2000 and restored it to the 1986 Svempa Edition. The work was done so well that the car was published in Bilsport magazine again in 2020.
The car comes with construction pictures from the customization in 1986, the original instruction book, delivery order, and warranty certificate from 1986. The original spare wheel is missing. A tip for the next owner is to find the same type of mobile phone that Svempa had installed in 1986. That would be the icing on the cake.

Condition

Mechanical condition
The engine is the car's original 10-valve 5-cylinder 2.2-liter inline engine. The engine, which has a reported output of 200 hp, is equipped with K-jetronic and a turbo with intercooler. It has a 5-speed manual transmission and, of course, 4WD. It runs smoothly and feels right. A major service was performed in 2018, including replacement of the timing belt and wear parts.
-
Interior condition
There is a small stain on the headliner near the sunroof. The headliner could be made smoother and neater if the rear part of the headliner is pulled up slightly. Please see the pictures. The quattro interior has leather steering wheel and leather/textile seats in flawless condition. The car is equipped with a period-correct Pioneer cassette player. The trunk is in equally excellent condition.
-
Exterior condition
The car was disassembled and repainted in 2008. It looks just as beautiful today as it did when Svempa built it in 1986. There are a few small bubbles on a limited area, on the lower edge of the right threshold, just in front of the rear wheel, as shown in the pictures. There is a clear paint protection film installed to protect vulnerable body parts from stone chips. The hood comes from the Sport Quattro model. The wheels are the ones that were fitted in 1986, now refurbished and equipped with classic, newly manufactured Pirelli P7 tires in dimensions of 225/50-15 in the front and 285/40-15 in the rear. The wheels are of the split type.

Owner's comment
I saw the car in Bilsport magazine in 1987 and immediately fell in love with it. I decided then that I would own a Quattro one day. The idea of owning Svempa's Quattro, however, was not even on my radar.
In the year 2000, thirteen years later, I came across a car advertisement. At that time, TV4 had a classified ads service on teletext. You used the TV remote to browse through the ads. That was the high-tech of the time. It turned out to be Svempa's custom build. The car was located in Vilhelmina, a distance of 770 kilometers one way. There was no hesitation. This was a chance that wouldn't come again.
My vision was to restore it to Svempa's version. Due to other projects, the car was left standing until 2008. Then I repainted it back to the green Svempa color. Then it was left standing until 2018. That's when a complete overhaul was performed, including a full service with replacement of the timing belt, injectors, cleaning of the fuel system, and replacement of all wear parts. The wheels that were on the car when Svempa built it were in poor condition. It turned out to be difficult to find identical 15-inch wheels. Therefore, I had Fälgfixarna in Helsingborg refurbish the wheels. The chrome couldn't be saved, so we decided to make them entirely gold-colored. In 2019, I contacted a tire supplier in England to get the Pirelli Cintuarto P7 tires. They had started to manufacture the special sizes I needed since they are used on older Porsche and De Tomaso Pantera. The waiting time for delivery turned out to be six months.
I have continually improved and maintained the car. Both the front and rear suspensions have been disassembled, blasted, and repainted. The interior is from a 1990 Quattro.
Facts about the model
An icon in automotive history and a very important part of Audi's history, the Audi quattro is also the foundation for today's rally cars. Audi was the first to compete in World Rally Championship events with a four-wheel-drive "production car." The five-cylinder engine, lockable differentials (center and rear), and "quattro" written in script on the heated rear window are just a few of the most striking details that the Audi quattro was equipped with. The early model years were equipped with analog instrumentation, but the quattro received digital instruments in 1983. New for the year 1985 was a new sloping grille and headlights adapted to it. Between 1980 and 1991, 11,452 units were produced. In 1986, 774 units were produced, of which 14 were sold in Sweden.
Between 1981 and 1985, the Audi quattro in various forms won 23 World Rally Championship (WRC) victories, including 8 that were won by our own Stig Blomqvist. A 10-valve engine, like this one, was capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.1 seconds, with a top speed of 220 km/h.
In 1985, the Audi quattro had a price tag of 236,000 SEK. A new Saab Turbo Aero 16V cost the same that year, at 131,000 SEK. A Volvo 245 Turbo went for 106,000 SEK, and perhaps the most comparable car, the Porsche 911 Coupé with 231 horsepower, cost 231,000 SEK.
