DEPOSIT TAKEN :cheers:

Hi Andy, received & replied.

Bump - Back up for sale. It started fine and strong first turn, and was driving fine up to 2500rpm, but started spluttering above that. I ran it up to temp on the driveway ready for a longer drive and the engine cut out. It won't restart (I've tried a different battery and cleaning terminals). Sadly, I don't have the time to look into it anymore, but would like to see it go to a good home this summer, rather than sitting on the driveway for another year.

SOLD: Deposit Taken!

Tempting but I also have a C63 I don't drive nearly enough!

Open to offers mate!

I've had this car for nearly 12 years and have taken it from Standard, to what I'd say was one of the best Corrado's in the country. Full spec below but basically it's a VRT with LSD, Traction Control, Big brakes etc. No expense was spared in this build and I have a folder full of a scary amount of receipts to prove it! Although I still love it, it's sat on my parents driveway for the last few years, getting driven up and down the road on a monthly basis, but it really is time I moved on and let it go to a new home. Specs are as follows; M Reg Aqua Blue Pearl Corrado VR6 Currently SORN 160k 380Bhp, 375 lb/ft Exterior Paint is pretty good for a 24 yr old car, but does need some polishing work + the usual small dents and scrapes to be expected. Clear Oval repeater 50mm Spliter Red film tinted Lights Lupo Wipers Engine bay Stealth Racing Stage 1+ Turbo conversion: T60/1 Turbo with Garrett internals,FMIC, chrome pipework, manual adjustable Forge recirc valve, later CP ecu and 4" MAF housing.

Holds everything steady with no excess vibration from cold. Wallbro in tank fuel pump 13 row Mocal Oil cooler, new standard heat exchanger and pipes with longer bolt New Genuine Radiator + elbow (one of the last left of each) Uprated Headlight Loom + Osram Nightbreaker Bulbs Drivetrain Racelogic Traction Control (with Launch Control) Really helps get the power down and eliminates wheelspin very subtly. Fixed Steering column with the last fixed cowling available! New wheel bearings front and rear,r32 wishbone bushes, Ball joints, Track Rod ends, Subframe bushes,Powerflex rear axle bushes Gearbox rebuilt by Riccardo in Leamington (they make the gearbox for Mclaren Mp12-4cs) and a Wavetrac LSD was fitted, new seals and bearings where needed. Lightened and balanced Flywheel New Helix clutch with heavy duty release arm Audi S3 shift tower, TTweight and cables, mounted into OE Polo housing. Fits perfectly and gearshift is as good as a modern car. Suspension/Brakes 17x7.5" Genuine BBS RC 323 alloys with Kumho KU tyres. Arguably one of the best wheels on a Corrado 10mm H&R hubcentric spacers front and rear Weitec Hicon GT height adjustable coil overs. Front: Porsche Boxster Brembo front callipers with standard VAG 312mm discs, Ferodo DS2500 pads. Pedal feel is really good and stopping power is great!

Doors close with a nice thud. EL Sheet Backlit heater controls red/blue colouring Audi S-line Gearknob Bad points: Wheels could do with a refurb Needs 4x new tyres Heater control direction knob is broken, currently set on windscreen/face (may also fix myself) Paint bubbles under inner arches Small coolant hose leak The car 'did' start and drive fine up to about 30mph, but has since cut out and won't start. I just don't have the time/will to look into it, and it's sad to see it sit there for another summer. Price – £6500 takes it away. Quick video of it running Thanks, Andrew

Thanks for the replies guys, they're in line with what I was thinking.

The VRT started for the first time in a while today :) I thought I had an alarm problem, but it turned out to be a flat battery, and it fired up first go once charged. I've had an offer for a quick, easy sale and I'm now stuck between two options- selling no fuss as it stands, or bringing it up to it's former glory before selling. Hmmmm

Hi all, My VRT has been sat at my parents house for a couple of years (SORN, no MOT) as I've been busy with other things. A few weeks ago a guy knocked on the door saying that his friend was interested in buying it and have given me what I considered a reasonable offer to take it away "as-is". I've since taken a look around and see quite a few standard cars advertised for £5-6k, and some talk of VRT's going for £10k. Does anyone have any recent experience of the market? I've no idea what's realistic! I definitely want to sell it but half of me would like to fix it up and sell for a decent price, and the other half would just be happy to see it go to a good home. Any help would be appreciated! (PM if you like).
