Oh, yes - but they fitted Torsen centre differentials from November 1987
onwards and they didn't want you guys to be exposed to any risks.

We had a 1991 20V ur-quattro on the stand at Coy's - 5k miles on the
clock.  As recently as six months ago, there were two unregistered
1991 cars in dealerships.  I think the one at South Hereford has now
been sold for around GBP40000.

Corrected for inflation, they probably made a loss on the car - although
they had the display benefit for seven years.  Allowing for this,
a late model ur-quattro would cost around GBP50000 ($80000) today.
