Looks an awesome project - good luck with build. Whilst I plan to keep my current VR near OEM, I am getting the itch for a second 'project' Corrado that I can play around with. Just worried about the response I will get from 'she who must be obeyed'.... Time is another factor.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-41725938 A one off... bugger! Just think, he could have bought a fleet of Corrados and probably all the remaining spares in existence from Classic Parts!

Hi, can I get second shout on 288s - thanks

Hi mate, if you pm me payment details I fire £20 over to you, Regards, James

Great job - car is amazing I wonder how many people regret selling a Corrado at some point, I do. Back in '08, I sold a Classic Green, black leather Recaro interior, engine sorted by Stealth, BBS splits, etc etc - also to raise a deposit :-( In saying that, fairly happy with current VR.

Met Patrick at Brands Hatch on CCGB National Day, really nice guy with lovely looking Corrado, which got loads of admiring looks. Seeing less and less modified Corrado nowadays, so nice to see a car of that quality.

Lol - I did exactly the same and regret it. I recently bought a pile PVW mags on eBay for not much, in fact the postage was the most expensive bit. It was great re-reading some of the articles, with my favourite probably being the bonkers TVR interior inserted into a Corrado :-)

Hi mate, The pictures were uploaded as attachments using 'go advanced', which I can see if I use my laptop, but can't see or open if viewed via iPad or phone? Must be something to do with iOS? How did you embed the photos into the original message? I can see them on my iPad.

Fortunately they reprinted it as the original books were selling for about £100 on eBay at one point. Amazon are showing 4 left in stock - well worth £25

Subject to seeing photo, can I be next in line. Thanks, James

Hi mate, Just checked, yes the brochure was released at the same time as a press pack - see photo of info sheet in German. If you look inside the back cover of the brochure you've got, at the bottom right, it also states September 1989. The full press pack contained various Karmann leaflets, photos and a set of postcards - Corrado, Golf Cab, Scirocco, and Escort Cab. I've included some of the photos which featured the Corrado. Anybody who loves the Corrado and doesn't have a copy of Das Grosse Buch Corrado - seriously buy a copy, amazing (even if it's in German). Regards, James

I have that brochure and think I might have some paperwork that came with it, I'll have a look and come back to you. For info there are a couple of other similar Karmann brochures, info sheets, postcards etc

I second that, my C is lowered about 35-40mm and combined with the 90mm splitter looked awesome but scraped every time I took it off my driveway. I bought a new 50mm splitter (and air guides) from Heritage, which has made a big a difference with regards clearance. I've kept the 90mm for shows.

I think your Corrado looks great. Having spent ages looking, about 4 months ago I bought a remarkably similar K reg VR6, red, cloth interior, well looked after and zero rust for a little less, however yours has a decent looking leather interior combined with great body colour, so I'd be amazed if you don't get near your current asking price. Good luck with sale - hope it goes to a good home

Some more eBay madness, £50 for a tiny pin badge (and £2 P&P!!) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/vw-corrado-collectors-pin-badge-Extremely-RARE-volkswagen-green-vr6-storm-/253183621674?hash=item3af2eb7a2a:g:A9EAAOSw7NpZz9u- I had various pin badges and key rings (photo below is just some of them) that I flogged on eBay years ago - based on the above prices, if I'd kept them I could have retired...

Firstly, good luck with the 205 - great car. Just had a look for ACF50, there seems to be a few different products, sprays and brush on of varying sizes. * Can anyone tell me what ACF50 product works best? * Where on the car they are using it (and not using it)? * Where is the cheapest place to buy it? Thanks, James

VW Heritage still have the Corrado script badges. They also have one G60 grill badge - not what you are looking for, but worth grabbing a spare? https://www.vwheritage.com/corrado/corrado-body/badges-decals-stickers Hope that helps and good luck finding the rest.

Post 88 - now seen. Fair one, you got there first. I'm just surprised it's not been snapped up...

Whilst not broken, this must be a contender for the most insane eBay advert - £1500 for a Storm brochure!!! https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Volkswagen-corrado-storm-vr6-1995-genuine-sales-brochure-near-mint-vw-/132293981457?hash=item1ecd55f511%3Ag%3Ag7IAAOSwKGhZkBFS&_trkparms=pageci%253A093f5953-a296-11e7-a312-74dbd180f8ba%257Cparentrq%253Abd5629a115e0a8618170f138ffcad020%257Ciid%253A1

If you have another one or Caz changes mind can you let me know. Regards, James

SOLD - Jim, I'll send tomorrow.

Jim, great, I'll pm you.

38 - recently rejoined the highs and lows of Corrado ownership for the 3rd time. At least this time I don't need to rely on my Corrado to get me to work - full on weekend toy to be pampered and polished!

Jim, Top man, thank you. Regards, James
