RE: car on the audi ur-quattro
the wr was the basis of the usa car with the exception of the engine which
was based on the switzerland wx (160hp with smog) motor.
i should have said that the early wx and wr-engined ur-quattros had the rear
anti-roll bar....

so, i have a rear sway-bar (same as anti-roll, right?),
1/82 build date and -00054 s/n. i thought i had a wx;
