This is a great one also, sad but great! I like when he says "the corrado, like any car, has it's faults."

Why does that corrado that Hammond drives look so good on standard suspension!!

Could be on earlier (slightly lower) springs, the later car's were ridiculously high

Never seen the second vid before. Thanks for posting it.

 

THough he does say the PG engine was unreliable, which is BS as they're bullet proof, i think he meant the charger could be unreliable and then it would generally be when the charger hasnt been serviced.

Funny how Clarkson says the Prelude is gorgeous... :lol:

Wonder what he'd think about it now

Yep that Prelude is bland at best, bordering on quite ugly, and I have heard Clarkson say the Probe was crap and sounded like something the doctor inserted into your anus!

Yeah, could have been a bit more accurate. The ride height of those last cars does look a bit leisurely ;)

That second vid with the storm makes me want a standard storm so bad (maybe lowered a little lol). It's actually kinda sad almost, makes it sound as though vw just neglected the poor rado...

elliott - where did you find that one? I've not seen it before either! As said, it is sad - but good to watch.

 

Spent too many hours on youtube watching old top gear vids :) The favourites folder is full of car porn here :lol:

Amazes me how few people on here have looked at this vid that I uploaded last autumn, lots was said on here at the time. Looking at my youtube stats, the vast majority of people that viewed were in Spain followed by the USA.

It was you, any videos of the mk1 scirocco? It sounds like my cup of tea as they say. :)

I've seen mk1 sciroccos before but a 20v supercharged? Can't be many of them on the go? :) Hardly any mk1 sciroccos full stop come to think of it.

I have video of the Mk1. A few people on here have seen the car at various meets last year. It was a ground up restoration on an 81 GLS with documented 67k miles from new. I bought it from the person that built the car. A Mclaren engineer named Neil.

The car was fitted with a G60 supercharged Audi 20 valve four cylinder, minus the turbo. Many other mods too.

Very light and very quick! :)

I like the shape, to me it looks like a mk 0 Corrado!

 

True there are very few mk1 Sciroccos left......and this is without doubt the finest there is. :)

Back in the 80's and early 90's my brother had a mk1 Scirocco Storm and then later a mk2 Scirocco Storm. They are the reasons I later had a succession of Golfs, Sciroccos and now a Corrado :)

I do love the mk1, very rare and without the vw badges a complete mystery to most people. Loving the pictures :) thanks.

 

Interestingly did you know Clarkson had a mk1 scirocco?
