[urq] Vin and trim etc

All I seem to be doing lately is asking questions about things that have appeared in past postings that I didn't take enough notice of at the time.

Am I right in believing someone put up a posting suggesting there was a website where you could enter the VIN of an Audi and check the spec it left the factory with etc?
The reason?
I am looking for a new school bus for my beloved to replace her ageing 100 Avant and went to look at a 1998 A4 1.8T Avant Sport today. It had The alloys, the sport seats and the sport steering wheel but did not seem to sit as low as I expected given that the "Sport" pack cars were supposed to have had a slightly lower suspension. I'm a bit suspicious and would like to check it out.
Also I'd be curious the learn what extras my WR had when it left the Fatherland back in 1987.

If I have been dreaming this and there has been no such posting does anyone know how receptive Audi dealers are to this sort of request?
Many thanks

Keith

'87 WR

p.s. Tonight in the village shop a guy asked if it was my quattro parked outside. I replied that it was. He said he had one years ago, an '84 WR and said that mine was one of the best he had seen. He also said he wished he'd never sold his.
Makes you feel good driving an 18 year old design icon.
