Ah, geez. Audi parts are so tough to find, now even the model UrQs have
become valuable. I won't be selling mine, though: My 16 yr old brother
found it at a yard sale. Black urQ, HB tobacco sponsorship stickers. Don't
have the controller. Working headlights! Maker (no kidding, the only word
stamped on the underside: Ecstasy) Probably German-made, owing to the
tobacco theme (never on a US toy!) and the "schnell/langsam" on the speed
control switch. Such oddities...
Was this one like the one you remember?
