veeDuB_Rado 0 Posted September 25, 2005 How and when did you realise your car was the press car from all those years ago? welli remember when my mate first got the car 3 years ago, and I fell in love with them, and I was looking for pics of corrados wehen i came accross the coloured one,didnt think much of it at first, then when my mate came and picked me up one time i saw his plate and realised it was the same one.My mate did say to me that it was in a mag/book once. I searched for 2 years to try and find that pic again but i never did When i found this place i put out several requests for the pics but only the other day Louie Lungbubble(i.e. god) said he had the book and scanned them for me. OMG thats crazy u have the ORID press car WOW ... i think you mean ORIG? thanks i effin treasure it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr.ots 10 Posted September 25, 2005 must have been nice to find it was the same car. It looks sweet, then and now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oxfordpaul 0 Posted September 25, 2005 How cool, my first Corrado was another of these early press cars - F238 BVV I think. I bought it in 1994 on Boxing Day in the dark from a trader in Northampton. Anyhow, cos it was Xmas I didn't HPI it - what a mistake, the car was twisted and drove horribly - I wrote it off after a week and was lucky to escape unhurt. I then discovered it had been written off in the first 4 months of it's life, repaired and written off AGAIN!!! 3 yrs later. I think I finished it off once and for all but was so gutted as I loved it (was 22 at the time and had sold a concours Scirocco GTX to buy it!) Yours looks great though! Mine had elec roof but manual windows - is this ne the same? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daves16v 1 Posted September 25, 2005 veeDuB_Rado, That's gotta be worth more than an unknown equivalent model, might not be much but back it up with evidence and you've got yourself one special Corrado. If I had it I don't think I would ever part with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
veeDuB_Rado 0 Posted September 25, 2005 No, everything is electric in this one. Just talking to my dad now, he asked me where these pics were taken, I said Pendine beach he said "funny that cos when you were 10 or 9 we went down to pendine beach" what a coincidence :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carpoid 0 Posted September 25, 2005 How cool !! Aren't you tempted to put the Sebrings back on and lock it away somewhere ??!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
veeDuB_Rado 0 Posted September 25, 2005 haha I'm VERY tempted to do this as I doubt there are many left of the 1st production cars.... Wonder how many there was in the first place... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carpoid 0 Posted September 25, 2005 Whats the mileage and how many owners has it had ?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted September 25, 2005 I think veeDuB_Rado is the 12th owner. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
veeDuB_Rado 0 Posted September 25, 2005 Something like 10 or whatnot The clock says just over 140k I'll be honest guys, it's not the original engine (that's why I claim it's quicker than any other standard 1.8 16v) Got lots of reciepts here,LOTS, speaking to previous owner he said that a g60 was put in at one stage for a while then taken back out.

scarlett 0 Posted September 25, 2005 this is the bl**dy car that started my Rado obsession... its all it's fault...!!! I had the same pics that u have on pg 1 framed on my wall from the age of about 10 til i was about 15!!! this was the car that made me swear to myself I'd own a red Rado one day... am sure I still have the poster somewhere!! my friends used to laugh at me cos they had pics of boy bands and such like on their walls and I had red corrados.............. :roll: I hope you can make it to a meet sometime... I wanna see this car in the flesh!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
veeDuB_Rado 0 Posted September 25, 2005 HEhe thanks... Just need a new wing and a few extra things and it'll be sorted :D Somebody else claimed they had a poster of it too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walesy 0 Posted September 26, 2005 fair play to you dude...she's looking nice.... :D just my humble opinion....but it would be nice to see standard rear lights and front grill on her, just to keep her standard looking, and i never thought i'd hear myself say it..but if it was mine i'd be putting the sebrings back on her too!...other than a slight drop it would be just like it was in the pic! 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted September 26, 2005 yup, for a landmark car like that you have to keep it unmodified mate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
veeDuB_Rado 0 Posted September 26, 2005 :cry: I know, I'm really in 2 minds about it, 1 half wants to put it completely standard so it remains a legend (lol) an the other half wants it to be modified, I'm not gonna do any mods that aren't reversable though. I was speaking to Rich (Mad-Axl) and I said that when it comes to selling it, I will completely standardise it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trig 0 Posted September 26, 2005 Take it back to Pendine beach and get the photo re done properly (road level, correct angle etc.) then your sig will be cool as. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
