33 4x4B

I'm off to look at a 1991 8v 1.7 33 that is a 4x4B - not a p4. It is an
import to the UK from it's original home of Austria.

Is there anywhere that I can get a specification of this car? I've owned
both 8v and 16v 33s before, nearly bought a p4 but have never heard of a
4x4B which I understand is not the same as a p4.

Has anyone owned one of these before? Are there any specially good or bad
bits to look for?

Not sure, but it is a series 3 with a 4x4 that is not a P4 - any ideas
anyone?

AFAIK that's the case. ie. All 4x4 series 3s were P4s.

Maybe it's like an 'elegante' version of the 16v - without the sports trim.
