Except it isn't what we US folks would consider a 200; and it isn't 
even a quattro.  It's a European 5000(-called- a 200) of about 
1987-88 vintage.  Immediate hints:

-brake reservoir is square; all type 44 models including and after 
1989 have a round reservoir(88's may have them too, I don't remember.)
-no fender flares
-no quattro logo on the front grille(unless he took it off for some reason)
-5000 wiper arms
-5000 interior

I guess it's nice having everything color-coded, though, and he 
certainly has a good engine detailer...
