Red Stars, German only, very limited production right at the end of T3 production, 1992 I believe.  Even the paint colour was protected.  You had to prove ownership to get the paint code to make repairs.  Here's photos of one in the VW Museum in Wolfsburg I took when there a couple years ago.  https://picasaweb.google.com/102449862149336184707/T3RedStar?authkey=Gv1sRgCMD9or-Z8uPTHw
