Maybe, bu tmy old quattro wasnt a "higher trim level" model. It was a 
quattro C.

Now, I guess most of you dont know about the 80 quattro C. I didnt 
either, until a few months ago, when I bought a book called "Audi 
Typenatlas". This book is simply a model guide on all models from 1965 
to 2000.

The 1984 80 quattro C was a model introduced to make a somewhat more 
affordable version available. It had a smaller engine (2.0 vs 2.2), diff 
locks, sport seats, body plastics and manually operated sunroof. It 
didnt even have power steering, nor trunk light or rear headrests, and 
definitely no power locks or windows. Basically a cheaper model.

Price in Germany, 1984 was 27.890 DM for a 2-door 80 quattro C vs 33.785 
DM for a 4-door 80 quattro 2.2.

And finally, I'll admit that it is totally possible that my car ahd the 
rocker skirts retro-fitted. After all, the car was 13 years old and had 
2 PO before I bought it.
