Cabrio questions

[Simon Allcorn]

I believe there is/was one Cabrio quattro in existence: Someone (I think it
was Kim Collins ? not sure though) took an RS2 (or S2) drive train / engine
and put the rear floor pan into the Cabiro along with the rest of the drive
train and a highly modified engine I5 ( ~ 315 bph from memory). Don't know
if it still exists though.
