Re: Heuer Audi Sport - Exciting stuff Jim.. tell us more

I was offered one last year by a guy who worked in an Audi dealership in the 80s and was given one as a gift / incentive so guessing they were available through other avenues also

: Hi Jim,
: Welcome to the ranch. Whether you know it or not, you have just
: become *very* interesting to the world of Heuer.
: I too have an Audi Sport Heuer Lemania, as do a choice few of us
: collectors - including David, who is/was a big time collector,
: but even after moving on many of his Heuer, retains his faithful
: Audi Sport.

: Anyway, I don't know if you are aware, but these watches are rare
: (only a handful known), but also shrouded in mystery. I have
: been researching them for some considerable time, as I plan to
: pen a full write up some time. As a result, I could waffle on
: excitedly with 1000's of words, but I'll try to keep it short...

: My research pointed to the fact that this watch was available to
: buy (as an option) only to people who purchased a You could only
: get if you purchased a Short wheel base Audi quattro rallye car,
: around 1980-81 ish the retail then for the car was £45,000. (I
: believe only 200 were made). However, chatting to David (who I'm
: sure will be on this thread quicker than a greyhound with
: mustard on it's ass), he thought that these were issued to Audi
: drivers. My thoughts on this that it could well be true, issued
: to the drivers and available with a SWB Audi.

: So, Jim, please, please spill the beans on when, where, how, why
: you got your hands on your Audi Sport Heuer.. as far as I'm
: aware, you are the first 'original buyer' I've ever known off,
: so please help us solve a Heuer mystery about all the details -
: was the watch free, or an option? Which Audi did you buy etc etc
: etc??!!!!

: Cheers
: Stewart
