If anyone has anymore infor would be great thanks Sent from my SM-G357FZ using Tapatalk Hi Interesting brochure. The photographs are the same as those published in the German publication Das Grosse VW Corrado Buch. I came across it last year on Amazon. They devote a chapter to Karmann. As you say, the models shown are early. I am away at the moment,but get home at the end of the week. I will see if there is any reference on the photos or in the book to the production dates. Good luck hunting. Robin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vr6monkey 1 Posted October 18, 2017 I have that brochure and think I might have some paperwork that came with it, I'll have a look and come back to you. For info there are a couple of other similar Karmann brochures, info sheets, postcards etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vr6monkey 1 Posted October 19, 2017 Hi mate, Just checked, yes the brochure was released at the same time as a press pack - see photo of info sheet in German. If you look inside the back cover of the brochure you've got, at the bottom right, it also states September 1989. The full press pack contained various Karmann leaflets, photos and a set of postcards - Corrado, Golf Cab, Scirocco, and Escort Cab. I've included some of the photos which featured the Corrado. Anybody who loves the Corrado and doesn't have a copy of Das Grosse Buch Corrado - seriously buy a copy, amazing (even if it's in German).

robinw 0 Posted October 20, 2017 Hi I have checked my copy of Das grosse VW Corrado Buch The book was initially published in 1992, reprinted in 2015. The section covering Karmann is very detailed and contains a selection of photographs, none of which show any dates underneath. In the acknowledgment section of the book, again no dates are shown. As James suggests, the book is well worth buying as it is extremely comprehensive and has some interesting photographs, albeit it is in German. Good luck.

robinw 0 Posted October 20, 2017 I bought my book on Amazon. It cost £25.00 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6monkey 1 Posted October 20, 2017 Fortunately they reprinted it as the original books were selling for about £100 on eBay at one point. Amazon are showing 4 left in stock - well worth £25 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vr6monkey 1 Posted October 21, 2017 Thanks guys can't see the pictures for some reason James? Sent from my SM-G357FZ using Tapatalk Hi mate, The pictures were uploaded as attachments using 'go advanced', which I can see if I use my laptop, but can't see or open if viewed via iPad or phone? Must be something to do with iOS? How did you embed the photos into the original message? I can see them on my iPad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
