Nice pic!...Do I detect a little bit of arch flairing having been carried out on that front wing?......Was that car run at the same time as the Coxnnifords car. Same colour scheme and sponsors?

Theres no reason given for retirement though? But the car you have quoted is a Coupe Quattro not a 90 quattro, yet reg is same......
I suspect foul play

So i dug a little deeper and found this:

facinating numbers there, thanks Jay...

She was making pretty good power for a N/A 2226cc 5pot, but the most interesting bit for me is the weight... Even if that's a dry weight, that's pretty light. If it's running weight, then I'd love to know where they lost it from...

Found this one from 1988 RAC ian...
