When I bought my first Audi (86 CGT Comm Ed,) I missed out on another Audi 
at the same place by about 10 minutes (someone else came up and made an 
offer while I was examining the 2 Audis available.)  Anyway, it was a 2 
Door (in other words a Sedan Coupe) 4000 Turbo Quattro.  I'm pretty sure it 
was factory (this was more than 10 years ago.)  So the UrQ wasn't the only 
type 85 chassis available with the turbo motor (This may well have been a 
grey-market car, however, and the UrQ may have been the only turbo-5 Type 
85 imported by Audi into the US.)

I thought about missing out on that car a couple of days ago (maybe after 
seeing Ben Swann's stable whilst picking up a transmission.)  It's the only 
car I am still kicking myself for missing out on.  It was white, anyone 
seen it recently? I last saw it in Richmond, VA, but the guy who bought it 
was from New York.  (I would think seeing a 2 door 4k that wasn't a coupe 
would stick out in an Audifans mind.)
