54K miles when I bought it, approx 138K now (I’m working away so can’t check). It was a daily driver for the first eight years and approx 75K. Then a very gradual rebuild over around ten years when it never turned a wheel, then a garage queen the last seven years at about 1K per year! My oldest daughter has already claimed it when I die so I’ll have to look after it!

Glutton for punishment Martin, another fine product in the pipeline!

Twenty five years ago today we went to Guildford during a fuel shortage to collect the VR6, it was a steady 180 miles journey home for fear of not being able to get petrol! It’s still going strong to this day, if a little more pampered maybe!

All good here, got an MOT this week, still hanging in there almost 25 years since we bought it! How about yourself, loving the look of the G60, we had an early valver in Pearl Blue, manual windows, no sunroof etc 30 years ago, pure Corrado, once you’ve had one you’re hooked forever! Very quiet around here these days, forums struggling against the might of facebook.

Also worth considering a Teves 20 upgrade from a slightly later Golf, better ABS system, no bias valve, no more ABS light! Bit of a faff to install though.

Welcome back again fella, you were never staying away were you!!! Looks like a tidy motor you’ve picked up there, you do seem to have a knack for finding them!

Dragon green 16V at Dukeries garden centre. M448 I think, looking good in the sun. First spot (outside of my garage at least) in some while!

Had this week off work so got it out the garage, cleaned and waxed it ready. Planning to take it off SORN Monday so it’ll piss it down the next month!

Why ruin a good Corrado 😉

Well done, here’s to the next 300K!

Good to see the progress you’re making, the trim makes a change from the standard fabric too. Have you had those rear seats re-trimmed, they look brand new? Keep up the great work, still on course for a springtime road test?

Merry Christmas everybody. Couldn’t agree more, it’s quiet around here compared with a few years ago (been here 18!) but it’s too much of a resource to lose, too many other forums have fallen by the wayside.

Still looking in really good shape too, I think that in my almost 30 years as a Corrado owner I’ve only seen one in the flesh, once, enjoy!

Long shot indeed. I’ve bought various springs and platforms for my Koni coilovers over the years from Larkspeed in Leeds. The last time I had springs, which I think was fronts, I had to wait for Koni to run the next batch which was months…. You could drop lucky though.

Great to see another one back from a “sabbatical” off the road, been using mine every day recently and loving it. Can’t remember the last time I saw another one on the road though and nowhere near Edinburgh!
