But I saw this one parked two doors up my steet ('84), another one today
round the corner at the chip shop ('84) (Couldn't stop to check the dash),
and yet another one last Saturday parked in town ('88).....  As I said Rare
they are not IMHO :-)  I have the owners manual for the Non-Turbo Coupé
Quattro and it clearly shows the digital dash, similar but not identical to
the urq.  The boost guage is replaced by an econometer showing instant fuel
consumption, this is the only interior difference other than the lack of a
'voice' and 'check' button.  As you say though, there is also an analogue
dash.
