Monte Carlo 1986 Hannu Mikkola build 

The replica Audi Quattro S1 E2 that’s entirely original 99% finished. 

The only replica (not copy)S1 E2 in the world, this exquisite Audi Quattro S1 E2 breaks the mould by using only original components,

When is a car more than the sum of its parts? Possibly in the case of this remarkable replica of the Audi Quattro driven to third place by Hannu Mikkola on the 1986 Monte Carlo Rally.

The vendor has devoted a dozen years of his life to building this example for himself – and it’s so good that former Audi works driver and rally legend Walter Röhrl summed it up in one word: ‘Perfect.’

Thr vendor travelled the world from the Czech Republic to South Africa and from Poland to America in his quest for genuine Audi Sport ex-factory parts, with the sole aim of making his Quattro the best and most accurate replica in existence.

As a result, it features many original parts for example original bonnet and complete dashboard from Quattros raced by Röhrl; the co-driver’s seat used by Arnie Hertz and the KKK turbo from Michèle Mouton’s Pikes Peak hillclimb car.

Mikkola-related components also abound, including body panels, mirrors, the rear screen and the magnesium rear differential and six-speed gearbox from his 1000 Lakes car. And, to cap it all, Hannu Mikkola and Arnie Hertz have signed each of the Matter visors  the Quattro’s roof is signed by double British rally champion and one-time Quattro Sport driver David Llewellin.the original Kevlar C pillar water tank is signed by Hannu's team mate Stig Blomqvist World Rally Championship drivers' title in 1984 and Armin Schwartz.

“Only 20 original factory cars were built, and two of those have been dismantled.

“My S1 is an exact rebuild of one of the two, car number 014, which was driven by Mikkola in the Monte Carlo Rally. It has been put together side by side to one of the 20 works cars and using the original, 250-page Audi Sport build manual for reference and I really think the fact that each part has its own story to tell makes the car a piece of Motorsport history in its own right.

On top of that, the buyer will also get a Hannu Mikkola signed race suit and cap, the aforementioned Audi Sport build manual.

“It would be absolutely impossible to find so many original Audi Sport parts for sale anywhere in the world again – and there might not be another original S1 on the market for at least 20 years.

This is surely the chance of a lifetime for well-heeled Group B rally fans to own a piece (or several) of history.
