Think I've got that book buried in the loft somewhere, forgot the Corrado was in it, I like the comment about it being "bullet proof"! Almost as good as one of the magazine reviews that praised it's good headlights.

There is also one in his 'Top 100' video, comes 64th or something. Just a picture and says something about it being a '£20,000 Ferrari.'

and Richard Hammond mentions it in (the 'go for' section of) What Not To Drive. I quote...

 

A very classy car, discreetly good looking and still a real performer...

 

and it's in the section that says 'they come from a time before the nanny state throttled all of the fun out of most things in life, some still have that snarly edge of danger missing from a lot of safety-obsessed modern stuff'

 

good old Hamster!

I met richard hammond. I pointed my old corrado out to him, and he didint even know what it was, until James said "VR6".

 

It was a valver.
