Ravus 10 Posted April 6, 2015 Hi all, Just bought this morning. Very good driver, original, but needing bodywork in usual places and a re-spray.FSH with a BN clutch, though. Will look forward to keeping you all updated. Can someone direct me to VIN number breakdown? It could possibly be an interesting one. thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zygalski 10 Posted April 6, 2015 I asked about one on Autotrader & the seller was fairly convinced his was the last Storm off the production line. However apparently N387 CWL, the last Storm produced, was sent straight to the VW museum as shown in this old Top Gear clip Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ravus 10 Posted April 6, 2015 Can't really get my small brain around that dragon - if, like most cars, present numerical digits are sequential to production it would suggest mine is the last - not gonna cry if it's not though, can't wait to get her match fit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted April 6, 2015 That's the thing, unfortunately they aren't sequential. All engine types were thrown in I believe, so it's not even vr6 specific. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zygalski 10 Posted April 6, 2015 This Storm was 30 mins away & I was going to try to look at it soon. The seller seemed like a really nice, genuine guy. He kept on top of the mechanicals for 9 years but unfortunately let the various bodywork jobs slide. I showed the photos to my local bodyshop & I hope you can get a decent job done for a lot less than they quoted me! Just think though - once the bodywork is up to scratch you'll have a great car Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interior is very very good though. Will run her over the summer before baremetal/engine out etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
