Jim 2 Posted February 25, 2003 Yeah.. I have seen the Corrado in Ronin.. but its only on screen for like a second. I'll try and get a screen grab from the DVD at some point..

Kev TBH tho kev mystic blue does give off a purple hue in sunlight........though i remember this car being up for sale a couple of months ago and how it was debatable if it did truly belong to the ex-england captain or if it was just a namesake Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted September 21, 2003 I think Nassa's was a storm, mystic blue looks a bit purple in the sun! Maybe Quentin used to have one but I know Tiff Needle had one that had £100k spent on it!!!!! :shock: Shaun Ryder has still got a tornado red G60 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

corozin 0 Posted September 21, 2003 Jason Plato (Touring car race driver) used to own one when he was coming up through the ranks. Said how good it was when he owned it on 5th Gear once. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boarder 0 Posted September 22, 2003 Were in good company. About two years ago Shaun Rider had his VR6 knicked and it was used in a robbery. Class could only happen to Mr Rider. He got it back though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pringles 0 Posted September 22, 2003 sorry when i said met purple i did in fact mean that blue colour. its deffo a storm :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ray_vr6 1 Posted September 22, 2003 The late great multi TT winner and Brittish Champion Steve Hislop had one of the first Corrados - yellow one if I remember. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Campaign 0 Posted September 22, 2003 Shaun Ryder's one that was nicked was a Red 16v.... Also, olympic cyclist (can't remember his name now) had one, and used to be in the CCGB. Clarkson loves 'em, but I don't think has ever had one. The bald car-dealer blokey off "Right Car, Wrong Car" used to sell them, so he must have owned one.

Jim 2 Posted September 23, 2003 I can't wait to see what Top Gear have to say about the Corrado when they show their little Corrado article some time this third season. Wonder if they have any 'celebrity' owners or anything come on the show. I did check the credits for Top Gear on the show recently and that Rowland guy who posted on here was listed as a researcher so I am pretty certain we are gonna see something :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
