The only CL I've ever heard of was a model sold in England when the 
MKIIs came out. It was the cheap entry level car with a 1.5 litre 70 
bhp carb engine. You didn't see british plates on the car? 

When the Scirocco MkII first came out, there where many trim options
available on the European continent including L, LS, GL, GLS, GLI,
GT, GTi and later GTX!  At first, the fuel-injected cars where
the GLI and GTI, with the others carburetted. Trim levels are
recognizable by the front lights and other subtle changes. 
Cheaper cars just have a large rectangular headlamps. Better
apponted cars have these lights supplemented by smaller main-beam 
innner lights (a.k.a the 'Euro lights' as we call them in North
America).
The GT models in Germany (does yours?) have four smaller but equal
sized headlamps (same design as the NOrth American headlights) and
the Scirocco name decal in the rear glass below the small
spoiler, etc....
