Name That Car Clock: 2″ VDO Analog With Yellow Numbers

As we go through and attempt to identify the clocks in my junkyard-derived collection, our last NTCC challenger came from a 1987 Saab 900 Turbo. Today's clock was also made by VDO, but it didn't come from a Saab. This call will be tough, because plenty of cars got timepieces very similar to this one over the years. Make your guess as to the year/make/model, then make the jump to see how geeked-out a car-trivia expert you are.

1985 Porsche 944

Sorry, I didn't shoot the junkyard car that donated this clock, so I used a shot of a rescued-from-a-junkyard LeMons 944. I've seen this type of VDO clock in quite a few German cars from the late 1970s through early 1990s, but (as far as I know) only 944s got the clocks with yellow hands and numbers. Does it work? Of course!
