What a good question.  Indeed - where are they all?
 
I have it on good authority (I've seen a picture) that a gentleman in Rocester, 
Minnesota has _four_ - one for his wife, one for himself, and one for each of 
two sons.  His next door neighbour is a business acquaintance of mine.
 
OTOH - how many 'Sports' are there?  Baur built around 220 shells.  216 is a 
number often used.  186 sold retail is another.  Parts could be a further 
problem.  Historic Motorsport in England built several using factory-supplied 
parts and with factory approval.  Aelred at Dialynx has done a number of ur-
quattro conversions, using different 'depths' into the ur-quattro vs. Sport 
definitions.

Would you want one?  Perhaps not - it ain't quite as simple as 200 bhp versus 
300 bhp.
