VR6 | Blue storm | Central Scotland Price: £2000 Description: Corrado VR6 storm Unfortunately the time has come for me to sell my much loved Corrado VR6 storm which I have owned since October 2004. It is one of 250 made in blue with full leather interior at the end of production in 1995. The car is an absolute classic and always turns heads where ever you are and especially when you put the foot down. The car has been off the road since April 2012 as I started a new job which required me to get a small diesel car to save on fuel costs. The car has been started and moved every other week whilst off the road. It has just been MOT’d on the 23rd November 2012 so come with a 1 year MOT. It has currently done approx 124,000 miles. I had used the car almost every day until April this year to travel to work which was only about 3 miles away and it has never let me down. I have made a few modifications from the standards storm spec but there is nothing that can not be put back to original if you wish (wheels and rear lights). I have now changed to rear lights back to the original. Sale does not include private number plate. Modifications from standard: • 17” Alloy wheels (I still have the original BBS alloy wheels which would require refurbishment. I have a compete set of new original BBS wheel centres which is included in sale) • Clear side indicator repeaters fitted. (I still have the original indicators that can be re-fitted • Rear Lights – (Now changed back to original) • K&N induction kit fitted. • Stainless Steel Milnex exhaust system fitted. • Vibra technics front engine mount. Service History: Since I have owned the car I have done all the servicing and repairs myself. The previous owner had a full service history carried out. I change the engine oil once a year with semi-synthetic oil and carry out repairs as an when required. Recent Work Done(within the last 1 1/2 years): • New coil over suspension fitted front and rear (30% up-rated suspension) • Replace rear torsion beam bushes • New heater matrix fitted • Replaced front radiator • New head gasket fitted as it was suspected that it was leaking. Turns out loss of water was due to leaking radiator. New timing chain guide fitted. • Front discs and pads replaced. • Rear wheel bearings replaced. • All ABS sensors replaced. • Both door handle levers replaced with steel modification. • Front to rear brake pipes replaced. Good Points: • I have used the car almost everyday and it had never failed to start • Drives well and still goes like hell when you put the foot down. • Interior in an excellent condition for age with passenger and rear seat that have hardly been sat in. Bad Points: • There is a little rust starting around the wheel arches, boot and passengers sill (see attached pictures) • The driver heated seat is intermittent. • Very slight water leak from thermostat housing which requires water to be topped up every few months. Security • Thatcham approved alarm with total enclosure Please contact me if you have any questions or want to see more pictures. Regards Chris CHECK OUT EBAY AUCTION 121029642162 FOR MORE PICTURES

Hi, I have a 1995 Corrado VR6 storm (blue) I am considering selling and am looking to get an understanding of it value. It has done 120,000 miles, its is a good condition with a few rust spots around the wheel arches. I used the car everyday to travel to work approx 3 miles away. It does not have a full service history as I have been carrying out the repairs and maintenance for the last 5 years. I have a few pics to view if required. If anyone can give me idea of what it would be worth that would be helpfull.
