ClassicStorm 0 Posted September 2, 2003 Guys, Can't find the thread about this one composed by Roddy,but am I right in assuming that a 94 Corrado cannot be a Storm?I thought that they were all registered in 95... This one is doing my head in.... John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted September 2, 2003 Yep.. all storms are 1995 onwards I believe?? Colour should be either classic green with cream leather, or mystic blue with black leather. If it isn't decked out in that attire, it aint a Storm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ClassicStorm 0 Posted September 2, 2003 jims16v, Hi mate,I thought so.As you have probably guessed,I have the Classic Green version.The reason that I posted this thread was that there is a "Storm" for sale on the trader for £5000ish and but I don' think that it is?!Green with wrong wheels 94,I thought it was suspicious.On the flip side there are 2 that seem to be a valid for around that price too,I hoped that they might be worth a bot more...owning 1 myself.Don't like people who try and prey on other people's lack of very specific knowledge. Thanks for the confirmation John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted September 2, 2003 No worries.. vr6storm / Roddy is more the man to answer Storm related questions as he not only owns one, but REALLY knows pretty much everything to do with them. As you say, its frustrating that dealers try and sell these standard VR's off as Storms when they blatantly are not.. still those lucky old so and so's with the 500 Storms can rest easy that they are driving a future classic :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ClassicStorm 0 Posted September 2, 2003 I know,I can't wait for my Storm to continue it appreciation - sorry not wishing to sound arrogant.Bought mine for VR money too,running reasonably well at the moment too?!Too many things to go wrong but it has had a few new parts that I hope will not go again for a long while...

Campaign 0 Posted September 2, 2003 Bah - common as muck ;-) Only kiddin', but yeah Fake Storms are a common complaint of Corrado owners, same with Scirocco Mk1s too.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6storm 0 Posted September 2, 2003 here you go mate...........here's the thread i posted the other night http://corrado.atx-hosting.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=3126 i'll move this into Common Corrado questions too :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ClassicStorm 0 Posted September 3, 2003 Thanks Roddy., Campaign,compared to your machine - it is indeed common (1 of 5).Jammy b*gger... Cheers Guys John P.S. Roddy would you say that the 2 Mystics on Autotrader at the mo are indeed Storms,very cheap and am tempted?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted September 3, 2003 I'll have a quick butchers and see if they look the genuine article... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted September 3, 2003 Well a search for Storm on Autotrader (doing a national search) yields 8 results for me. One on there looks pretty believable : 1995 VOLKSWAGEN CORRADO 2.9 VR6 Storm 3dr Coupe Mystic Blue, FSH, Usual Storm features EW ESR ABS heated leather etc. Totally original, lots of receipts. 12mths mot, 79000 miles, Cat1 alarm/immobiliser and Tracker. Genuine reason for reluctant sale. Theres also one with koni's and uprated alloys.. the blue colour certainly looks like mystic blue and it sounds quite good : 1995 VOLKSWAGEN Corrado VR6 Storm, 1995, M reg. heated leather, Koni adjustables, 17 wheels, new tyres, cat 1 alarm/immobiilser, FSH, many more extras, must be seen Other than that.. not so keen on the rest.

ClassicStorm 0 Posted September 3, 2003 jims16v I weas just a bit dubious coz of the prices,worrying if they are indeed Storms that have been looked after.Might invest,as I mentioned earlier... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted September 3, 2003 You can make sure by getting the VIN no. from the owner, or by doing a data check. Get VW to run it through their computer, and they'll be able to tell you if it's definately a Storm :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
