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.

Yeah i got that boook when i was a youing lad, clarkson loved his rocco's.

Everytime i buy an EVO magazine i always read thier comment on the corrado at the back, makes you smile!

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.'

It was also no 18 in the Top Gear Cool Cars Top 100 magazine a couple of years ago :)

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.
