I know full well my old man owned a 81/82 plate 200 turbo in about 1986 I went in it ! the only thing I cant work out is the the wikipedia thing for 4wd.
I know at 12 yrs old I thought it was quick,then along came the the RS turbos and Cosworths
A spose a dick of a stepfather who is a trader has its upsides.

Audi 200 Quattros where definitely earlier as the guy I bought my first 21T off had one....I'm sure that was on a C plate.
Lewis was just talking about this when I went down his house. A phase 1 Quadra...man best of both worlds.. I wasn't willing to accept that they did a phase 1 quadra but I bet there isnt one still alive!

Am sure the first british turbocharged production car was the TVR 3000m Turbo,which had a turbo'd 3 litre essex by broadspeed around 1975.

The 200 quattro was 1985, but some Googling reveals that the Subaru RX was released in 1984, so that's the earliest so far.
