1996 Black 2.9 VR6 - SOLD
Never thought this day would come.
Up for sale is my much loved 1996 2.9 VR6 Corrado, first registered in Feb 1996.
128,787 miles as of today.
Only advertised here on this forum at the moment as I really want it to go to a good home, to someone who'll enjoy it as much as I have.
I've owned this car for 15 years, purchasing in December 1999 at almost 15,000
Car has the VW full closure CAT 1 alarm fitted with installation certificate
This car is no longer my daily driver as of 2007, averaging 2000 miles a year since then. Garaged when not being used.
(I had the garage built to keep this car!)
If i had the space to keep it I would.
My Corrado has wanted for nothing whilst I've owned it and never intended selling it.
I had the timing chains and tappets replaced in July 2001 as a precautionary measure, although this didn't need doing I wanted the car to last, receipts from main dealer.
In October 2003 I had the following work done by Vince up at Stealth Racing.
Jetex performance exhaust
BMC Carbon Dynamic Air filter
Shrick VSR variable inlet manifold
Koni struts with H & R springs
Eibach anti-roll bars
Goodridge Hoses
Pagid F/R disks and pads.
ECU Remap
I've the dyno graph somewhere, showing 220ftlb of torque and 220bhp, but I can't seem to find it at the moment.
Comes with a full service history ( main dealer and independent specialist ) and lots of receipts.
The car had a full professional re spray in Feb 2014. I do drive this car, so there are a few small stone chips, otherwise rust free and excellent paint.
Car has done approx. 4000 miles since the re-spray. Last trip was 1500 miles around France this summer. Love driving this car.
Also have fitted the uprated headlight loom, ( extra x-relief relay and power )
Full leather interior in excellent condition with heated front seats.
All brake pipes replaced in 2013
Replaced the headlining in Feb 2014.
Had a new wiper motor fitted in March 2014.
New battery in May 2015
EBC disks and pads fitted Feb 2014
Has "Corrado" badged boot carpet ( original carpet is underneath, in excellent condition), and badged deep pile mats shipped from the US
Carbon Fibre VR6 Door sill protectors, again from the US.
Also comes with an unused custom fit "Corrado" badged car cover, ( not used as the car has been dry stored when not being driven )
Car sits on TSW 17" Big Deep wheels, polished rims with anthracite middle. Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres, all in excellent condition and no curb marks or dings on any of the rims.
Refurbished in March 2014
Sunroof and Spoiler all working properly, just had the sunroof mechanism overhauled with the last genuine runners from VW last week.

A bargin at ?5600
----------------------------------UPDATED----------------------------
Had a fair bit of interest in the car, but more in standard trim.
PRICE NOW ?5000 for the car as is.
With standard manifold/air filter/wheels/parcel shelf included.
If you're interested in putting the car back to standard, then the resale value of the shrick is 800/1k. Wheels 100/200. Audio 400/600. Air Filter 50/100. Easily 1k of parts here. So you'd be getting an excellent late VR6 for under 4k.
Would like to see the car go as is, think it's a brilliant car for the money.
