The VIN number is stamped in the firewall bulkhead and on a plate in the rear right side of the engine bay. It is also printed on the sticker in the service book and entered on the V5 registration document. The full form will be something like: WAUZZZ85ZBA900099 or in the short form: 85-B-900099

There's also a list of VIN breaks listing when each feature was introduced during the ur-quattro's life.

In previous years, the leading 9 was there to disambiguate the ur-quattro and the Coupe GT, which shared the Type 85 designation. When Type 85 Coupe production ceased, this was no longer necessary. At least one 1988 vehicle - numbered in the "J" range - has already lost its 9.
