Good morning Rob, did you received my email on my GTS? I did send it a couple days ago.

Thx, Richard

Rob Edwards

Hi Richard-

Oops, clearly I'm not checking the gmail account regularly enough...


First, thanks for the pics, that interior is frickin' gorgeous- time capsule.....

Second, I played with the VIN sticker pic in photoshop for a while and can't make out the complete number.

What I can make out is WP0ZZZ92LS542???, the last 3 are illegible.

Below that is the engine and trans number, which is M2842-81L-A2816.

All of which tells me that this is a 1990 Euro S4 automatic.

Let me know if it's ok for me to post the two pics you sent, and perhaps others can read the tea leaves as well.

What would also help to narrow down what it is, is to eliminate what it's not.

If you post a full description of all the options you actually see on the car, it will allow us to rule out some possible VINS, which have options you don't have, and narrow the possibilities down.

Here's Richard's VIN decal (below)

I see 139, 328, 340, 567, 650, 935, and 980.

That limits it to one of 4 VINs, ending in 131, 315, 528, and 627.

So Richard's must be WP0ZZZ92ZLS842131.

Still makes it a '90 Euro S4, not a GTS, though his avatar pic looks an awful lot like a GTS....

Thanks Rob.

Dang, my car is bare bones.

Rob Edwards

Meh, everything else is just worsening your power:weight ratio....

Agree thats what it looks like to me.

Of course, Richard could just go look on the front-right side of the engine bay to read the VIN tag on the frame just under the cutout in the front right body panel.

A few cars have shown up in Europe with factory rear quarters.. there's one LHD which cropped up a few years ago which has Gerhard Berger as a PO; also a 1990 with factory GTS quarters. But the 1990's are most likely post-sale addons.

There are at least a couple of 1991's which were given GTS quarters to help sell them off the dealer floors.

Hilton, as of right now i am still in the US and my GTS is in germany. I can not just run over and have a look! Just came across this tread on the VIN numbers and had my S4 checked by Rob. That's way i thought he could check on the GTS as well. Unfortenatly i can not remember the VIN out of my head.

Rob- I do remember the engine code is M28-50. What does that say to you?

Rob Edwards

M28.50 says GTS automatic. But I'm so confused as to which sticker and which VIN is from which car on which continent that I'm not even sure of that any more.

richvm

AAAARGHHHH! ) Slow down now. The sticker is from my blue GTS as shown in my avatar and pics i send you. THAT ONE IS A GTS! No doubts about it! We only have to figger the VIN or stop right here uuntill i go to D!

Thx Rob
