Exotic 80's shite

[andrew e]

A little different this one, a Treser Largo - a stretched Audi 100 (or 200). Created by one half of the genius behind sticking VW Iltisguts in an Audi 80 floorpan to create the Quattro no less. Walter Treser then went on to manage Audi rally sports before branching out on his own with modified production Audi's, before creating his own mid engined roadster (complete with steel top 10 years early !)

Anyway parked up on a farm/industrial estate with only a bloody great Alsation for company is the beast in question, one of surely a few imported by Thompson & Taylor in the 80's. Im sure if you can master German there is a mine of infomation on the club site. If you fancy the challenge just head southbound on the A127, A130 turn off ! I think you can see it on Flash earth & Google maps!

 

 

Alas it is missing its sexy Treser alloys though, and god knows what its like close up but a little different no less don't ya think ? Below when it was new !

 

 

Howthey did it !

Bloody hell!

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Now THATS a find!!! AWESOME!

[outlaw118]

How did you manage to get a photo of that without getting mown down?I've looked at that about 1000 times and thought "Bit risky!!"Lots more shite there too, if I remember!!We'll probably end up photoing the same stuff!!!

[bigstraight6]

Blimey, thats an amazing find!

[Guest]

Now thats a class find Expect to see it on ebay one day "ashes to ashes not life on mars rare retro zzzzzz"

[andrew e]

If its a 200 the Ur Quattro hunters might rob it. Taking the photo involved a whole lot of horn honking There is a clutch of dead citroens too, but my N.C.B. prevented me hanging about any longer!

[Torsten2001]

all f*cking hail to ye Andrew E! Incredible!

[reallyloud]

Interesting car - I think I read about it in 'Car' magazine years ago, what is more worthy is your dedication to somehow avoid a potential death to show us this car. Top marks.

[dollywobbler]

Brilliant. Well done for saving it.

[treser_hunter]

.... will take some time until I start working

I have many work before....but the car will be only better, not bad at this time

 

I have look at the moment in google street view....there are new picture now. A half year ago stand the car in google at this place.....now stand a smart at the place

The onwer from the smart is the sister from the (ex ) owner of the largo

 

 

[treser_hunter]

.....only with help from this forum we have this beautiful found....THANK"s

 

All other largos are not foundet

This is the last largo on the world i think. Many cars are in oman in this time...but they are all "death".

We was this year in dubai in holiday and i meet a friend from oman....there say this. Nothing from this old cars are drive in the oman now

In january i flight for a week in the oman to my friend....we want look tis time for old audi and treser cars.....

 

I think it will be a interesting week

[treser_hunter]

@sambaS

 

The potbellied pic effeckt is that :

 

I was first flight in uk to visit this car. The owner say me this car stand long time (from 1992) outside.

The largo was cuttet by treser completet....and the make them complete again.

I would know...wath is with the chassis ?

When the car stand so long outside.....it can be many rust come and then fall over the lengh the body down.....or brake....

 

This is that what i would know before i drive the long way with a picup truck

 

 

(I hope you understand what i will say )

[andrew e]

Ahhh... thats where it went! I spotted it had disappeared, but feared it had been "recycled" in China! Great stuff!

 

Hey did a chap with a very good knowledge of Tresser put you on to it? I always wondered if it was actually him I was in correspondence with... I certainly recognise the pictures (and remember the dogs on the farm!).

 

[treser_hunter]

......where stand this car

The 200 treser on the junkyard ?

[trigger]

Don't get too excited, it's a 1984 photo from Motor magazine!

[phil_lihp]

Love the eightiesness of these, especially that 200 Treser - I'd never even heard of the name before. Well done saving that car, I hope it sees the road again.

 

The 200 in the photo's long gone...Date of Liability 01 08 1994

[treser_hunter]

This car see the road again.....sure

But the next 3 years not i think....i dont have time for this. But better later , then never

[Mr_Bo11ox]

This is a great story, I've just read your page about the car, looks like theres a lot of work to do!!! Brilliant effort though!

[SambaS]

I understand I look forward to seeing the Treser completed - top save!
