Unfortunately, there are very few late Corrado wings available. The only ones are off scrapped cars, so they are likely to be rusty. It might be possible to repair yours. This firm was recommended by a member of this forumn, but I'm sure any good bodyshop will be able to carry out the necessary repairs. https://www.rotboxrustorations.com/corrado-wings.html

There are some on eBay at moment. Not cheap but it might be worth making an offer. I don’t think the centre caps are still available so make sure these are included.

Filthy and a burn mark as well. I wonder what happened to the seat back?

Sounds like the heater seat relay. Most likely a faulty element in the seat.

There can't be many automatic Storms left now!

I would orde a pair if they were available.

I've sold all my cars and bought a Renault!

One of the last to be registered, although I have seen a photograph of a P reg.

I found a European Nakamichi CD400 on eBay for £200. I think it dates from the early 2000's but it looks very 1990's and OEM. It has a green or orange display. There is one on eBay at present but it doesn't work and it is US frequency. Keep an eye out as they do come on ebay now and then. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nakamichi-CD-400-In-Car-CD-Player-Head-Unit-24bit-DAC/163261673983?epid=56197361&hash=item26032771ff:g:ExkAAOSweZJaA5Hf

JMR in Littlehampton.

I have a one in good used condition. Unfortunately is missing the badge. It is off a later car.

Not sure where you are based. This company in Kent retrofit air-con. I looked into this a few years ago, but couldn't justify the prices my C only does a few hundred miles a year. http://www.vehvac.com/car-owner/car-air-conditioning-systems/

The not so smooth roof!

this guy on Facebook makes new badges. https://www.facebook.com/renewartlleida/

It was 25 years, then Gordon Brown fixed it to vehicles registered before 1973. As Jim says the rules have recently changed to a rolling 40-year exemption. Only another 17 years to go for me!

I didn't know these are available now.

There's this one if the budget doesn't extend enough. The worst rot I have ever seen around a windscreen and don't mention the sunroof! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Volkswagen-Corrado-VR6-1993-quality-spec-rebuild-11-months-MOT/183225603405?hash=item2aa918d54d:g:6PQAAOSw9Ypa-aKP

Welcome along. It looks very smart in the photo.

I entered the Corrado in the local car show. The car of the show was a Ford Model B Sport Coupe, however, mine was much admired and everyone seemed to have a Corrado tale to tell! I got to park between and Aston Martin and a 1928 Lagonda. [ATTACH=CONFIG]93211[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]93214[/ATTACH]

Don't do it unless you want to go hungry.

We had a Volvo V50 D5 for a couple of years as a company car. It was hard to faul. The Ford connection provided it with the basic undercarriage of a Focus, one of the best handling and riding front wheel drive cars of the day. The 5 pot motor was very smooth and had loverly gruff sound as was far more flexible than our previous A3 2.0TD. We looked at replacing it privately with a V60 but could not find a decent low mileage example at a good price. We ended up with a BMW 320D Touring.There are plenty of these available and may be worth you considering.

I'm sure it looks a lot better now. By the time you have finished I expect it'll be worth at least £12k

Some interesting comments. I have to agree it does seem a lot of money, but on the other hand would a £3k Corrado in need of a full respray, rust treatment, and some mechanical work actually work out any cheaper?

Every little helps. I am always amazed by the number of private sellers who don’t bother to vacuum the interior. One car I viewed even had a tow rope in the footwell, hardly inspired confidence!

Fast Classics have sold a couple of other Corrado VR6's in the last year or so including Chris Gaskell's Storm. Both these cars were advertised at a high price.
