This car was sold in April 1985 in Germany therefore manual is in German
(I've spent a lot of time reading it with dictionary to get some information
out:)) As Phil Payne wrote much more modifications are available there but
I do not think that there you can buy every mixt you want - they also
have some kind of "marketing" - though not so strange as in UK or USA.

BTW. Is there any source where I can decode VIN of my car and other codes
(paint number, options etc.)?
