Clocked and re-badged?

 

Average of 1 mile a day over 14 years to and from the caravan site :wink:

Would need a serious amount of re-commissioning I would imagine. Trouble is with a car like that is that you could not buy it and then use it regularly, so much of the price would be due to the low mileage, remove that and you just have another nice VR6

Yeah likewise, I'm not sure I'd want to pay top whack for a car that's done that amount of miles in 14 years. I might take it off his hands for a couple of grand though ;)

 

I just think you'd feel guilty every time you drove it!

:shrug: I wouldn't. It was built to be driven, and the feel of a "nearly new" VR would be interesting. Wonder how much the suspension rubbers have deteriorated though?

Blackberry Storm - the holy grail! :roll:

 

Probably would drive like new tbh, rubber doesn't seem to wear / perish much at all if not used and especially if it's been kept in that garage the whole time - superb!

Crikey! Look at the paint - it's perfect. Lowest mileage Corrado find ever?

 

Bit of a double edged sword really - fantastic to see one in timewarp condition, but also kinda tragic that it's sat in a garage all of its life really! As others have said, they're designed to be driven - not bloody looked at!!

Wow, what a find! The badges *could* have been put on by the dealer- especially as it's a N reg. Dave's has Storm badges and Solitudes. That paint looks wonderful 8)

Totally agree........ I see people are putting their Corrados in for the winter were I can't wait for the first bit of snow to see how the VRT 4x4 runs. As for the find its a blackberry so as no-one has done it yet 1st dibs on it................. :norty: :grin: beat you all.................

It can't be a genuine Storm - you couldn't stick a couple of badges and slightly bigger shoes on a donkey and call it a Storm.
