I have looked for some time on production numbers per color, with no avail. Does anyone have any pointers to find color UrQ production numbers? US based?
I just picked it up two days ago. It was garaged since 98. 117 on the dial. Blew the timing belt then parked. Going to jank the head off this weekend. Was purchased from the org. owner. you can view pics here:No, sorry.
I would LOVE this info, but probably even Audi has no clue anymore.
Some colours are more-are than others, depending on model year.
I'll check with Bill Bremmer, he runs the urq registry.
With his info, at least we can say how many of each colour/year are accounted for!
I see you have an '85!
Details please!
Wow!
Is that in Lhasa green? I cannot tell in the pics. It still bares the very rare headlights.
here's what Bill was kind enough to pass along on his documentation of the '85's.
Graphite (B7V): 12
Amazon Blue (Y5Y): 4
Stone Gray (Y7U): 5
Alpine White (90E): 10
Tornado Red (Y3D): 17
Titian Red (B3V): 9
Helios Blue (A5T): 2
Zermatt Silver (Y7Y): 7
Montego Black (Y9Y): 2
it is green, which is why I was asking. I cant even find a good example of lhasas metallic to gauge against.
any info you could help me find would be great! or at least a starting point for me to research even more... Thank you so much for the information you provided already
LG= Lhasa Green?Excellent!! This could be the first documented LG '85 in the states! :thumbup::thumbup:
you lucky dog...congrats on the find!!
I haven't checked the code on mine to be sure, but you list the Graphetie Metallic as a grey color. I would call it more black than grey.Here's a list of the colours for N. American '85's...
1985 – USA – VIN 85F 900001 -> 85F 901500
Alpine White, L90E, P1
Amazon Blue Metallic, LY5Y, L6
Graphite Metallic (grey), LB7V, W9
Lhasa Metallic (Green), LA6V, W1
Oceanic Blue Metallic, LY6V, L7
Sapphire Metallic, LY5V, L5
Stone Grey Metallic, LY7U, U8
Titian Red Metallic, LB3V, W4
Tornado Red, LY3D, G2
Zermatt Silver Metallic, LY7Y, L1
I've never seen (on a US '85 car) Sapphire Metallic, Oceanic Blue, or Lhasa Metallic....I would rate them as the most-rare...along with a runner up of Amazon. I've seen only one.
Thanks. I just changes to white powder coated wheels for a nice contrast.mmmmm Graphetie Metallic....NICE
