Vintage displays at major auto shows are often a well-kept secret. Tucked away in a hall often at some far corner of a convention facility, these displays can harbor fantastic cars from high points in the auto industry. One might guess that a display of this sort at the Paris Auto Show would include amazing French machinery, even a fabled Bugatti Royale. However, it was a pleasant surprise to run across an Audi in their midst.
Part of a collection from the Manoir de l’Automobile, the Audi in question was a 1984 Group B S1 racecar campaigned in 1985. This particular S1’s claim to fame was a victory over the French-favored Peugeot 205T in the San Remo rally at the hands of Walter Rohrl.
The collection from which the Audi was shared, the Manoir de l’Automobile, is a rather sizable automotive museum and facility in the French town of Loheac. 35 km wet of Rennes, the museum’s collection includes multiple Audis as well as many other activities to see and do.
