VW CORRADO 1.8 16V - FSH + Every MOT - Totally standard, Ex Interior, Sebrings

VW CORRADO 1.8 16V

* FSH - 25 stamps in original VAG service book

* Every MOT from new up until Nov 2014 - 21 MOT certificates

* Large 90-page history file with every bill going back to mid-90s (there's even 17 old tax discs included)

* Only 4 previous owners

* In my ownership for 10 years

* 15" Sebring alloys (including spare)

* Thatcham Category II immoboliser

* Two keys

This is my totally standard and original Corrado (barring the addition of a Powerflow exhaust), right down to the fact that it still has the original factory fitted Blaupunkt radio/cassette - I loved the originality of the car so much I couldn't bare to remove the orig radio/cassette (and I'm also old enough to still have cassettes to play on it).

Last MOT expired Nov 26th 2014. I had already garaged the car the month before that, October 2014, because there was the beginnings of a power loss when driving. I meant to get it looked at but, as is often the way with these things, I didn't find the time. I had it taken into the garage this week and they diagnosed that the start of the power loss was down to a small part of one the sparkplug heads detaching and entering the engine. The sparkplugs are out of the engine. This will need investigating and repairing by the new owner. After being stood, the battery is obviously out of charge.

Prior to that everything on the car was working exactly as it should, including - the clutch, gearbox, pas, all electrics, rear spoiler, lights, heater, etc. The famously unreliable old-style heater matrix was replaced in 2011 by Volks Works with the newer, uprated heater matrix. And Volks Works also did the full timing belt kit replacement in 2011.

The interior is in excellent condition with no rips or tears. Bodywise, as you can see, there is beginnings of rust on the rear arches, and also to a larger extent on the bottom edge of the driver's door, and obviously some minor dings.

Time now to pass the great old girl on to someone else. It's rare these days to find a Corrado as standard and original as this - especially with the FSH, history file, all MOTs, etc - so for that reason I think it justifies her being put back on the road. But, if not that, then she is also a rich source of almost any and every Corrado part that you could want.

* For what it's worth, this is the Corrado featured on the Corrado Wikipedia page main image - and that image was taken, I think, in 2010. Just to show how she could look again. She needs someone to get her back into that condition!

Car located in Mirfield, West Yorkshire, and will need towing or lifting away as cannot be driven. CASH ON COLLECTION.
