I have seen many no 1s and quite a few of no 3 (I think).  No 3 looks 
 like a normal Coupe but has quattro written on the back.  Because 
 these cars don't have flared wheel arches, I always assumed that they 
 were not real Quattros (note capital Q) with 200hp engines, but just 
 Coupes with the quattro drive train and the standard 135hp engines.
