dinkus 10 Posted September 16, 2005 mmmmmmmmmm........ i'd sell my limbs/vital organs/soul for one of those red Jet G60's....... never even seen pics of one never mind one for sale..... :( G60Jet used to have a purple Jet - http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?t=38 but I've never seen pics of his actual car or Jets in other colours .....in Canada we only had the 2.7 (I think) Corrado...at first I thought the ad i was reading was a typo when it read 2.9!! then i noticed all the corrado's here are 2.9!! very nice...the North American ones are 2.7 rated at 176 bhp... 2.8 in North America, but yeah, you only got 176bhp :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NickVR6 0 Posted September 16, 2005 And old leather smells of farts! That Not-aircooled bloke cracks me up. and i agree, although id have it if offered it only looks good out of the box. Freeze in winter, boil in summer and hard cornering = passenger seat time! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dutch 0 Posted September 16, 2005 i was told (could only be a rumor!) VR's had head gasket issues?? true? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 16, 2005 True.... When owners neglected failed fan switches etc and constantly allowed the engine to over heat. False.... When owners maintained their VRs well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZippyVR6 0 Posted September 16, 2005 no way. about the only thing that is bombproof. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dutch 0 Posted September 16, 2005 thanks for that.....it's funny what you hear from people out there!! hopefully this one checks out! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 16, 2005 The VR has earned a reputation of being a big, heavy, complicated engine that eats head gaskets and chains. When you drill down to the actual cases, you'll find that reputation is unfounded....on all accounts. They do suffer premature wear on bores 1 and 6 a lot though!

DEL VR6 0 Posted September 27, 2005 that grey one on the trader is an absolute minter if its the one i saw @ E38. I would have bought it, but theres only room for one VR6 in my garage! dutch, any joy so far? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DEL VR6 0 Posted September 27, 2005 was it from a farmer bloke, and did he tell you that he took it to E38? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dutch 0 Posted September 27, 2005 not too sure if he was a farmer.....i wouldn't be suprised. he was really anal about this car.... i was looking at that superchargered one....but i'm not a big fan of buying modded cars...i'd rather buy one that is bone stock..untouched...and mod it myself...

DEL VR6 0 Posted September 27, 2005 dutch if its the car that i think it is, you have got an absolute corker of a car mate. The bodywork was like factory, and the leather interior was also mint, and i think really it suited the car. He has also spent some time and money on getting some of the mechanical sides spot on too. Like you say, a bit anal, but lets face it, they are the sort of owners you want to buy cars from, cos you know everything will be dead right. If i didnt have the Corrado i have now, that would have probably been the car i would've bought cos it was just so mint and everything was like it has just left the factory. Low mileage too if i remember rightly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dutch 0 Posted September 27, 2005 sounds like the car for sure.....it was exactly the car i was looking for..not just a Corrado....a low mileage...maintained to the letter....pampered car....this Corrado was only taken out during good weather and stored properly in the winter...i couldn't beleive the condition of the paint and leather...although i'm not a big fan of leather....i would have prefered cloth.
