Anyone know the c.g. of a Mk1?

Mark:
There was an SAE paper written when the Rabbit/Scirocco first came out.
I have a copy stashed somewhere, but from the dusty corners of my mind I seem to remember the CG was

Now why the hell would I remember something like that?
Anyway if you pester me I'll dig out the paper and verify.
