1994 Corrado VR6 M Reg Aqua Blue Kings Lynn, Norfolk

Recommended Posts

Bit of a sad one this, as some of you may know who replied I had some toss pot fall asleep driving and hit me in my VR6 just before Xmas resulting in me having a broken leg. (police think he was asleep)

Anyway, I've had the payout and been given the car for free by my insurance company (more hassle for them to scrap it) and I got it back today.

The car was standard and superb bodywork wise as I had all that done last year, everything worked - spoiler, sunroof, windows etc.

3x Refurbed very very close to if not mint 15" Speedline Alloys with centre caps and good tyres available as chap who was having them is now selling his Corrado and getting a motorbike (idiot) Does £50 each seem a fair price for that condition with tyres?

As you can see from pic there's not a lot on driver side front to salvage as it's Cat B and has pushed the floor a foot into the car, ripped wheel and suspension off. The rest of it has some good bits to salvage, passenger side wing and door are fine, tailgate fine, few marks on rear bumper from recovery but nothing to bad from what I can see. Rear lights ok - passenger side has tiny crack but not a problem. Passenger headlight is fine I believe. Dashboard may be knackered as it was bent on impact but may be fine if I can get it out.

Engine, although done 212,000, had been rebuilt with chains done etc about 80k miles ago at Stealth - I have all this in car history folder.

Big stuff ideally I want collected like doors, tailgate etc or you can arrange collection. Could wrap those and sent with Paisley Freight at a push but will be at buyers risk.

Cant fill page up with what is good, best thing is to message me what you want and I can say 'yay or nay'.I will test things to see if they work, wash the car in case there are more marks from the recovery etc. The spoiler does work as that went down after the car stopped after the crash.

I have the original 1st aid kit and triangle, I may decide to keep them and a few little bits in case I get another Corrado but if someone wants them that bad maybe I will let them go.

I am in Kings Lynn, Norfolk. If anyone wants to come and have a look by all means come along.

Hi LF, sorry to hear about your situation - that sucks, especially just before Xmas!

 

I would be interested in some of the door locking mechanism in the passenger side door - essentially the rod that comes out of the actuator and heads towards the bellows and the elbow fitting connecting the rod to the actuator. How much would you want for these bits posted?

 

Thanks

Sorry to read about your situation, hopefully you can but this behind you soon enough.

 

How much do you want for the ISV, if its in good nick, or did you want to sell the engine as a whole with all its gubbins?

 

Kind regards

I'll strip internals from door either today or tomorrow and make sure they are all ok - all working, just want to make sure no previous bodging by previous owners is present. You're added to my list lol

Hi, parcel shelf straps are fine, but so is the shelf itself so don't know whether its better to sell as whole or seperate?

 

Hi, have you still got the parcel shelf straps? And are they ok (no breaks in them) ?

Cheers :)
