No probs Stewart
From what Nigel gathered , it was the same for Switzerland & Germany. The main dealer sold the odd couple & the others went straight out to Audi.I can only assume that others such as Michelle Mouton & Walter Rohrl along with the respective co drivers had one as well. Nigel had heard that they were given to owners who bought the SWB Quattro but he dismisses this as this was launched 3 years after the original. He also knows owners of original Quattros who knew nothing of this watch whatsoever.Its still a mystery as to exactly how many but i reckon its fewer than we originally thought
: Dave, Thanks for taking the time to research this and putting it
: together.
: It really is a real scoop. I've had my AudiSport for a while, and
: since getting it, I've been a a crusade to gather as much info
: as possible, and trying to sort the wheat from the chaff.
: Much of what we knew was the result of collective educated
: guesswork from collectors. Your info has really nailed down the
: details. I guess the only open question left, is what about
: non-UK supply, if there was any.
: I can confirm the blue box info, mine came in it's box with
: instructions. I can't remember if I have the outer cardboard
: sleeve, I'll have to check. If I do, then it definitely plain.
: (i have a few boxes, hence why I can't recall if it's the AudiSport
: with the sleeve)
: Anyway, again, this is great news, and I hope DC from Cal.11 pics
: up on this. I could collate the info I have with this info and
: do a write up for DC!?
: Stewart
