Ti, Many thanks for the description of a true Ur-quattro. It sounds perfect. You beat me to it this morning. ---------------------------------------------------------- Jason Crow Salomon Brothers International Limited <crow@sbil.co.uk> ---------------------------------------------------- 1990 Quattro Turbo 20V Tel: +44 (0)171-721-2580 The European market has seen a quattro model based on the old square-style coupe body, but no turbo, no flared fenders, etc. You can think of those as the 4000Q but in the coupe body with 2 doors. Thus, strictly speaking, what uniquely identifies an Ur-quattro are the following (obvious traits): old (1981 on) squared coupe body style flared front and rear fenders integrated bumper/valence turbocharged & intercooled 5-cylinder engine The Ur-quattros also comes with the "quattro" script on the rear side windows, and the 4-ring decal on the lower part of the front doors. There is also a thin dual pinstripe that goes all the way along the beltline. I have known some Ur-quattro owners who had removed these decals and stripes, however. While the 1983 Sport Quattro also has flared fenders and a 20V turbo five, those exotic short beasties are not called the "Ur".
