Did you do anything at the back end?  Your newsletter article didn't actually 
say what sort of ur-quattro you finally bought after your long search - the WR 
and MB both have non-ventilated rear disks and the MB has a superior ABS system 
to the WR, plus wider (8" vs 7") tyres as standard.  Have you fitted the 20v's 
ventilated rears, or is it already a 20v?
 
Our US friends won't have to pay VAT, of course, so GBP1200 works out at 
around $1550.  Plus, as you say, the wheels and tyres.
