Is this the rarest Rado in existence today ?

[Supercharged 2]

This car also ran the revised 240ps ecu as far as my sources tell me

 

It was only running on greens!

 

I can't believe you posted this up Jim, Yans's gonna chop your balls off!

[Jim 1]

Meh. Its not like we can keep talking about it and winding people up and then not post info up.

 

Besides - its hardly like its a big secret. Darren already knew about it!

I'm late to this, but wasn't this car discussed ages ago in the Karmann trip thread :?: :?

Here?

[Jim 1]

We'd tried to subtly mute it in there if you read it! Though must admit I didn't notice Ritchie giving the game away :|

Meh, think I will fry them...

 

Proper factory ringer this - charger number 1260 with an 'M' after if that means anything to anyone.

As far as we knew 16VG60 Corrado's didn't really exist beyond those bright yellow body kitted VWM ones.

 

Did I not contradict that way back on page 2? :-P :lol:

 

Nope - not like that. This is why this other one was especially rare.. :)

 

Its the one that was done without a bodykit, standard looking but a 16v G60, one had front wheel drive one was 4wd, cant remember which was which, but I think the body kitted one was 4wd, could be the other way round.

 

Knew I had read something about a standard looking one years ago, cant remember for the life of me where I read it, hell I might have imagined it :lol:

[dinkus 10]

Yeah, I knew Richie gave it away, but nobody noticed :lol:

[G60Jet 1]

I read a tale that the ECU was missing out of it!! But i cant think where i read it. Anyone else read something like that?

[Jim 1]

Not sure where they got that ECU from. The previous year to this, Breford bought to the campsite (and sold to someone) an ECU labelled up as 16VG60 - we assumed that there was one, smashed up 16VG60 in the basement and that he'd taken it off that.

 

But this one appears to be completely in tact so lends credence to the fact that there could be more of them...

[Supercharged 2]

Jim - there was a smashed up one too but i think they destroyed it and sold the engine

anyone wana shed some mor elight on this? am v interested in it. real bit of vw history!

[Yandards 0]

Actually manual windows were standard on 16v cars until later in 1990.

In the pic - it looks like it has a white go faster stripe near foglamp, front bumper.

[Jim 1]

Think that was just the lighting. I don't remeber any body decals / graphics or anything else on the exterior to give away what power lurked beneath..
