Yeah, dealer said shame about the wheels. :bonk:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Volkswagen-Corrado-2-9-Hatchback-VR6-/231519458775?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item35e7a295d7 Up for £3495 Looks quite good. Spoke to the dealer & car has basically been sat around for last 5 years whilst prev owners estate has been settled. Apparently starts ok but has to be warmed up a bit or else stalls when revved. MOT runs out soon so will be redone as part of sale. No rust, apparently & resprayed 6 or 7 years ago. Bit of moulding missing, not sure if spoiler raises & lowers..

The Jetex stainless seem quite popular. Not sure how much louder than standard the resonated boxes are. £400 for the entire system: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Corrado-VR6-from-Ch-No-50-N-000-0001-8-91on-Jetex-Stainless-Exhaust-Resonated-/141242134115?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item20e2afee63

It's a lovely looking VR6. Good luck with the sale. I also hope you don't break it.

I think Mike plays up an awful lot for the cameras. Virtually everyone who's met him in person says what a nice bloke he is. It's the things like rapping his knuckles on pristine paintwork whilst saying "corr, ain't she in great shape", dropping keys to Ed or a potential buyer directly over the bonnet of a car & sitting on the car wearing jeans or crops that gets me. Makes my teeth itch. I still watch (and enjoy) the show though.

Is this the one in Dorset? I was tempted to make the pilgrimage but I want a more standard VR6.

If it had leather I'd be really tempted to have a look.

PM sent. Cheers.

Thanks mate. :dance: http://www.vw-corrado.hu/pros/004/brochure_1995-04_The_Corrado_Storm.pdf

Thanks chaps. I'm just after one that is fairly low mileage & in overall excellent/vgc, not a concourse example with 50 wins under its belt. Seen good VR6s sold for between £3000-£6000. That's the kind of car I'd like.

Hi. I have a healthy budget so if you own an excellent/vgc example, maybe want to part with it for top money & live in mainland UK then I'd be interested. I can buy immediately upon inspection & test drive if yours is the right one. My criteria are pretty simple: Standard, unmodified VR6 or Storm - don't mind Leather Interior preferred Documented evidence of timing chain/clutch replacement Any colour apart from yellow No rust. Nothing other than very minor bodywork damage Service history. At a minimum going back 5 years or so All electrics working inc. spoiler & sunroof Please PM me if interested. Many thanks.

Good luck. Just started my search for an unmolested, genuine VR6. Not many about at the moment it seems. :bonk:

So I take it no one's scanned them & uploaded the photos?

Erm......

Bit of an odd one, but has anyone scanned any of the sales brochures or is willing to & then put them up? Can't find them on the site & I find this sort of thing interesting.

Cheers John. You have a PM re/servicing costs :D The owner sent a few more photos. This Storm does indeed need a bare metal respray. I replied in a very polite manner re/costings & his asking price but I'm not sure I'll hear from him again!

Exactly what I'm after. If you ever get bored..... ;)

Has a few cosmetic issues. Rusty arch, lacquer bubbling on sunroof, ding in door. Owner says he was going to get a full respray. Seemed a straightforward chap though. Not sure if I want to spend another £2k just getting one cosmetically right. Are Corrados supposed to have fairly squeaky/rattly interiors?

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201503081539919/ That looks quite nice. Too soon for me though, as I have to get a new wing fitted on the GTE before I'd sell it. Info a bit limited on a £4.5 sale.

Hi. Thanks - I appreciate your help. I'm really after a sub-100k manual VR6 with history. I should have mentioned that.

Yeah I'll keep my eyes peeled in the usual places. Sounds like you got a bargain, Ray. Did you have any nasty surprises during the first few years of ownership?

Looks great as it is. Will follow this thread with interest.

Looks great. Thread needs more photos though! :bonk:

Thanks for the welcome. :thumbleft: I collected my Astra from Scotland, over 500 miles away, so if I can find the right car I'm prepared to put the effort in. I suppose my budget is around £5-7k, but it would have to be something pretty special. As I say, unmolested, plenty of recent service history, 50-100k miles, all major jobs done promptly, no rust, excellent/mint interior & so on. Not fussed about the Storm edition. It would be used a daily driver not show car & I generally do between 3-6k per year. I love blasting around in the GTE, so certainly no rush getting a VR6, although a Corrado is a big fat box that has remained unticked!

Hi. Long time admirer of these & think they're fantastic. :notworthy: I currently own an Astra GTE 16v which I bought over 3 years ago as a daily driver. What would I be looking at paying for an unmodified vgc/excellent VR6 with history & fairly low (-100k) mileage? Also, are there any specialists in the West Sussex or Surrey region who deal mostly with Corrados?
