@UrS4boy
can't Seem to Fined the Sticker on the car looked everything that it should have been and Nothing So at sometime in the 21 years it's been taken off...

How about inside the warranty booklet (if you have it)?

Nice coupe, never seen an interior that colour before.
Its definately a rare interior, was it a USDM only option?

*THIS* is why I am trying to have a look at the build codes. The early UrS4s had a interior colour called travertine that looked like that but was very rare (I know of like 2 cars that had/have it) in NAmerica.

Checked with my friend Kate and she says North American CQs were available with travertine cloth (Code: N0W LB) or travertine leather (Code: N0K LB). Nothing like showing for the Local Market (e.g. European/UK) cars.

The suspense is killing me.

Hopefully you have a Macro focus setting on your phone.

And there we have it:

Paint = LY5Z (where L = lacquer) = nautic metallic (dark blue)
Interior = NOK LB = travertine leather (must be very rare).

Thanks

FABS6: Could you check your build tag for a BAG or BAQ or BGG code? They come up as a "Southern Europe" code (E, P, I) (Espana, Portugal and Italy, I presume). I wonder whether, for an CQ, that code goes with the NM (1998 cc version of the 7A) engine.

thanks for all the Info UrS4boy...

Hi! Hey I don't get your question with those BGG, BAG and BAQ leters! But about the NM engine, yes...only the southern Europe received a 1994cc 167bhp, non-catalized (Euro 0 emission standard) and 20V engine (it's an awesome die-hard engine, I had it on my x-CQ, I still have some bits of the engine, bore x stroke was 81 x 77.4mm) instead of the 2309cc 20V 7A. Reason? Engines over 2000cc were punished with an extra tax of luxury during the 80's and 90's...that law disappeared somewhere in the later 90's and reintroduce a similar law 3months ago for cars over 125kw (170bhp) paying up to 30% more for the anual road tax the anyone over that power was payin till last year... For 169kw on my s6 = 560euro + 30%.

Thanks for the NM info. Did you see the info about the Abt UrS6 that had its AAN converted down to 1998 cc (I called it a "AANM") for the Italian market? PM me if you want a copy of the article.

As for the codes, in this build sticker, I accidently read the codes between the 6R2 and 9EC on the bottomline of this sticker as BAG and BGG. These are the "Southern Europe" codes. I just was hoping to confirm this via an Italian, Spanish or Portugese CQ owner's build sticker.
