Re: Audi 200 Sport

Paul,

The 200 in "The Living Daylights" does actually appear to be a european spec
Audi 200TQ (same thing as a 5000CSTQ in the US) with some mods.  We noticed
while watching the movie that it had 5000 door panels and it also had solid
front seat headrests.  It also had BBS mesh wheels and may have had flared
fenders (can't remember).  I wonder if this was a special model produced
solely for the movie or if it was this "Sport" model you speak of.  I've
been on this list for years and never heard of a 200 Sport model before
though.

Later,
Dan
