−£7,930-16%6 with · 3 without · low confidence
Premiums compare the median price of sales with each option against comparable sales without it, mined from verified auction listings. Sales are pooled across markets on a relative-price basis, so exchange rates and market levels can't skew the split. Options interact in ways a one-at-a-time split can’t capture — treat each premium as directional rather than gospel.
Marque analyst note
The Ur-Quattro has posted a sharp 25% appreciation over the past year, with median values climbing to £28,750, though this movement rests on a limited sample of just four transactions in that period. The signal remains neutral at HOLD, reflecting solid upward momentum tempered by a modest confidence level given the thin transaction data available.
Supply and demand dynamics are constrained in the UK market for this model. Only eight transactions have been tracked across the full dataset with no active listings currently available, indicating that liquidity is genuinely tight and pricing discovery relies on infrequent, often opportunistic sales.
The Ur-Quattro commands high collectibility standing at a score of 7, supported by its foundational role in Audi's quattro lineage and relatively modest production run of 11,452 units. The model falls into the appreciating classic category, where historical significance and engineering innovation sustain desirability despite moderate present-day enthusiasm levels.
Cars tracked in the market show an average mileage of 46,703 miles, suggesting these examples have seen genuine use rather than garage-queen preservation, which is typical for a design now entering its fifth decade.
The three-year base projection anticipates a further 9.5% gain to £31,490, with five-year forecasts reaching £32,427, representing 12.8% cumulative growth. These measured expectations reflect sustained but gradual appreciation rather than explosive revaluation, anchored to the model's recognized heritage rather than speculative demand.
