Same with the old Standard Eight, except it wasn't a cable - it was a long screw
with a hex head like a wheel nut located under the carpet in the boot.  The 
joke of the period was that Vauxhall did it this way so you didn't need to 
remove the boot contents to get the spare out ...  erm.
 
The ur-quattro, in standard form, is even sillier.  It has a 'digestive 
biscuit' emergency spare - "to save room in the boot".  Oh, yeah?  What happens 
if you exploit this extra boot space and then have a puncture?

You either have to drive home with the dead wheel on the front seat passenger's 
lap, or discard the 14-spoke Ronal ($480) at the side of the road.
