They certainly were here. None of the B2 body style Coupe/UrQ/80/90 cars
were galvanised, and they started with the C3-style cars in '84 or '85, if
I recall correctly. Still, even in this very corrosive climate, I've yet to
see a post-'82 C3 rust, even when abused. The C2 models dissolved while you
were watching, though...
