Just another data point:  my 1982 urquattro is vin C-900087, was built
in July of 1981, and was delivered to Bavarian Motor Village in East
Point Michigan in October of 1981 (according to AoA's computer).  The
next bit of information I have is that it was bought by someone in 1984
from an Audi dealership (whether used or new I do not know), and was
kept by that owner until Jeff Hemmerlin purchased it in 1994.
