RE:Avus production?? #s??

[Mark Nelson <mnelson@brls.com>]

Well, if you're going to remain in the U.S., forget about the 959.
There are only a couple of legally imported 959's and both of them are
in the Vasek Polak collection (I think there *may* be a couple of other
legal cars in a couple of other collections).  If you see any other real
959's on the street, they're highly illegal (i.e. Bill Gates' 959).
There were 207 959's made, 10 of which the factory prepared as rally
cars and two 961 Le Mans race cars.  That is definitely the car to have
though.  Computer controlled proportional AWD, liquid cooled DOHC
Flat-6, cockpit adjustable tire pressure, etc.  VERY nice cars
undoubtedly.

Best Regards,
