Yep Clarkson prefered the rocco to the Golf GTI, have to say I'm with him on that. I have an offer for the Rocco so it might be going :(

 

selling? I'd make an offer but the corrado has all my attention right now. As long as it goes to the right home, no 1/4 mile fans and the like ;)

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. :)

 

Lol that's my corrado

Oh my word, some real 80s/90s cheese there :lol:

 

Is it me, but does the Corrado seem more impressive in the press material than our own cars?

I was impressed with the "automatic shoulder belt system" how reliable were they I wonder?

 

FishWick it's a sales video, it's always going to look more impressive than it actually is :lol: At least it's informational, unlike the tripe advertised these days.

I was surprised to find the qashqai cant really fly, however not surprised it doesn't have four wheel drive. :rolleyes:

So it really does slide along the door like that electrically, and not by mechanical trickery?! Can't believe they went to so much trouble for those lazy Americans!

 

And that Silver G60 Tiff hooned around. Bloody hell it looked like it was going to flip over!!

Correct, winder motor for the whole lot is located in the b-pillar, which is why the b-pillar (and also the a-pillar and the upper door edge) is located further into the cabin compared to a standard Rado to make space for the mechanical gubbins, essentially the track along which the seatbelt moves.

 

Amazing system, love it, got used to it within no time, and now forget to buckle up whenever I get into a standard Left-hooker car without it.

:) didn't mean anything by the remark, should have said test pilots I guess :)

 

 

If you mean the drag race analogy I just took it as a joke elliot, I sometimes wear a mini skirt and high heels too! ;)

 

I quite like 1/4 mile runs.....not often that it ends in a collision with the scenery!
