Those were LLE's (Last Limited Edition) not Red Stars.

Cheers,

        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.
