photos: PistonHeads I'm rewatching The Grand Tour season 1 and 2 in preparation for the new season and am still fascinated by S2E7 "It's a gas, gas, gas" which tells the story of Jezza’s Favorite Motorsports Battle- Audi vs. Lancia. In that frame of mind, one tends to start looking for an Ur-Quattro to drool over and this one fell into my lap.
