Hi, Your inbox is full !!! I'm selling my VR6 shortly, I'm off on holiday next week and it will go up on sale as soon as I return. The good news, Im in Blackpool, had the car 8 years , and the bodywork is very good. It has to go, so I'll be looking for £1500 The bad news, its Aqua BLUE metallic. If you are interested, please let me know, and I'll gladly give you first option prior to putting it on the market. Mike

Hi, Me again, I can pay by PayPal if that OK with you. Mike

Hi, Do you still have the plastic engine cover with "DOHC" on it please? If it's in reasonable condition, can you let me have a price including postage ? Mike

Hi, I'm selling my Corrado shortly, but it's missing the plastic engine cover with "DOHC" on it. Has anyone got one they wish to sell please, I will happily pay postage if it's not local ( Blackpool) ? Mike

One last word ... (OK maybe more than one ) then I'm out of here . I posted on this forum because I genuinely had no idea of how much the VSR was worth. How much I will pay in fees to E bay is my concern, as the BUYER pays nothing, I don't see what the problem is. I have never had a bad experience with PayPal, when I was scammed, I got my money back from them. I wanted to give the buyer some protection for what I anticipated could be a significant sum to lose if it went pear shaped. Thanks to all those who have added the constructive comments.

Definitely, Mine was a 'L' reg coilpack car. I understand that there are problems with VR6's with OBD2 systems, although I did get a piggyback ecu which was supposed to sort the problem ( that's on E bay too !)

OK, My back is broad, If you think they are a load of grumpies here, You should try hanging out on some of the forums I visit, I've also got an MG and a MX5, you wouldn't believe how they can play up !

[Thanks guys. I only put Pay Pal to discourage scammers ...I've been had before. Obviously if the winner came from a reliable source then they could pay how they wished, Just hope it stays in the UK, but I need the funds for a new car venture, so cannot afford to be too pickey. Mike

Doh ! [email protected]

Putting the ad and pics together at the moment. In advance I can send pics to genuinely interested forum members, if the email me at mgbv8mike@spamcop. Will post a link as soon as it's on. Mike

OK, Will do Thanks

Sorry chaps, It was never my intention to get anyones underwear in a tangle over this. Just to make it clear ;- I was not soliciting bids. I still intend to sell via e-bay. Anyone who says they will have it without either seeing it , or knowing the price ....what can I say ! I'm not a regular poster on this forum, if I posted in the wrong place, it's surely up to the moderators to act accordingly, and either remove or relocate my post. So... anyone who has contacted me with their e-mail addess will get pics and a full description , and an invite to inspect (Bispham, just south of the old TVR factory, outside Blackpool. I will put a sensible reserve on it, and invite payment by Pay Pal (the fees...I know , but it does go some way to protect the buyer....as I can personally confirm). Thanks for your interest and comments Mike

Sorry, I may have posted in the wrong place. Yes, It's a genuine Piebourg VSR with all the parts I have not removed the top cover to check the serial number, as it appears to be a press fit. Yes I do want to sell it. I genuinely had no idea of the price to ask, I intended to put it on E bay once this had been established, I did not intend to start a bidding war ! Mike

Crikey, I knew the $ had dropped of late....didn't realise it had fallen so far !

I've finally decided to sell my VR6 Corrado, and have removed the VSR manifold. It's a long time since I've seen one advertised anywhere, and wondered what price I should ask for it. I think I paid about $1200 to a guy in the USA in 2006, does this sound about right ? Mike

Went to the Nurburgring 2 weeks ago for the Classic weekend, and spotted K** W*d ( Aqua blue VR) looking immaculate at one of the viewing areas at the track, my first visit so I don't know exactly where it was, and they were dragging off a couple of big vintage Yankee bangers who had not made it...what a fabulous drive that track is, I took an MX-5 and mixed it with the big boys, only to break down in Belgium on the way back !

Hi, I'm looking for the green vac tank for my VSR manifold, I know that Schrick's use them, and I believe that they are a standard VW part. I don't suppose anyone out there has the part number, or knows who stocks them...I tried Vince some time ago , but he did not have one.

Yep, Wouldn't drive a car in the rain without it.......it's brilliant........you can often drive in light rain without wipers, the rain just runs back UP the screen from whence it came ! It's excellent for lights too, they stay much cleaner cause the rain doesn't seem to leave ant muck on them.

My local VW dealers are a bit of a pain...any idea where I can get the VW part number from ?

Thanks for that, mate.

Does anyone know where I can buy a reservoir ? I have a VSR which came without one ( I don't think they were standard with the VSR for some reason ).
