Pip14 0 Posted November 9, 2008 hi all, wanted to share my good news. I am now the proud owner of a 92 2.0 16v corrado :clap: :clap: shook hands on it this morning, and will pick it up with the rest of the cash either tomorrow or tuesday. For the bargain price of a grand. Havent got very good pics at mo, but you can see what she's like. I think the colour is dark burgandy pearl, is that right? Will put up better pics once I've got her home and have given her a good polish. Good points, loads of service history, reciepts etc, most of it VW, Mot til july 09, the spoiler works (YAY, how cool is that!! :notworthy: ) Karmann interior and had 2 mechanic friends check her over and drive her and both says its sound and if I hadnt had it, they would! Bad points, stone chips on bonnet, and bumper could do with a respray and some rust coming at the bottom of the passenger side arch but nothing major. Now just can't wait to get her home. also I think she's in need of a name.. any ideas? :scratch: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The_Dude 0 Posted November 9, 2008 Looks pretty tidy there Pip, congrats. The first drive home will have you grinning like a lunatic after you've chucked it into a few corners. It looks like a burgandy pearl but you can find the paint code in the boot on a tatty old sticker. As for a name, you can call it "the Corrado"! lol, I never understood this attempted anthropomorphication (sp?) of cars. As a side note, all interiors are Karmann, it wasn't a Wolfsburg product. :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walesy 0 Posted November 9, 2008 Nice one, looks in good nic! It's not a Dark Burgandy Pearl, it'll be a Bordeaux Red Pearl Effect (LC3Y) :dorky: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Sands 0 Posted November 9, 2008 Hi Pip, just made my way to this thread after spotting your awesome work finding an archived entry in the Spotting thread! Had to rack my brains about that spot, back in June, think I remember where I spotted it then! Glad to see another owner in Worcester, especially one on the Forum. There are one or two of us so we'll look out for you round town. Car looks lovely, always liked Burgundy. If you do see me in the next week or so, ignore how dirty the VR is, she didn't get her usual wash today. Take care, Ed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
