Corrado Cabrio in Chelmsford 1980s? very random

Recommended Posts

Ever since i've had my corrado my mum talks about this time in the mid-late 80's when my dad was looking for a new car and they were visiting car dealers.

 

She reckons she was in a dealers in chelmsford (on a roundabout?) and she says there was a purple corrado cabrio with cream interior in the showroom for sale.

 

I always tell her it must of been an Audi 80 coupe and just dismiss it.

 

But today my model kit turns up of the zender corrado cabrio and she swears blinds that the car.

 

is this even possible?

VW never sold any and only made one AFAIK as a concept, which is in the museum. There have been a handful made by the likes of Zender.
