Nothelle? VR6 review from 1993

[VR6 Lee 0]

good find! 8)

[James. 7]

Blimey, had to have a second look at the reg on the Nothelle corrado. Thought it was mine for a second (Scotts of sloane square car as well) !

 

Those wheels are awesome. Saw them on a Rallye in Ian Kuahs book but they seem bigger and also in 5 bolt.

 

Good find.

loving this thread...

 

the Volkswagen Audi Car magazine, May 2000, says at the end that the corrado will hold its value very well, shame its dropped so low at the moment, i hope it picks up soon again!

 

says a year old storm actually sold on for more money, imagine that happening now...

Mine also originated from Scotts. Owned by a flying Doctor orginally. Obviously needed something small with a bit of poke to zoom around London in :D

 

I'm not a fan of the Nothelle rims!

Golf vr6 Storm turbo feature

 

 

I thought a Corrado owner would be able spot the difference :lol:

^ That Storm turbo is gorgeous, what are it's specs? I can't quite make them out.

 

Also, that Nothelle Corrado, is that still owned by the guy on here who has a muppet avatar? (Forget his name, met him at E38 years back)

 

edit: Is it Korozin?

Haha, hello lol! How's it going? I check back here every couple months to see what's going on. And also take a cheeky look in the for sale threads!

Nice one Matt.

 

Here's the VR6 article from the same editon as the Storm:

 

NB: I like how the author refers to the 8v as a "ghost car".
