mhoult 0 Posted August 10, 2004 How many corrado's are there in the uk? More specifically how many were made during the last year - N plate. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadoAds 0 Posted August 10, 2004 wasnt there a vr6 storm on the net for sale a few weeks ago that was on a P plate???? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted August 10, 2004 general opinion is that there were just over 9000 Corrados brought into the UK... No idea on numbers registered per year though... :| Yes RadoAds, there were a few P plates registered too... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted August 10, 2004 Well it was originally around 9000 Corrado's that came to the UK. I don't know how many have been imported, exported or crashed in that time so impossible to say what that figure stands at today! :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mhoult 0 Posted August 10, 2004 This forum does state that a few were registered after the N plate to sell off the last few. I realy just wanted to know how many N plates the same as mine were about, and how many were sold in the uk in total. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mhoult 0 Posted August 10, 2004 Were all corrados built in the us then? If so the storms were built over there then modified here? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted August 10, 2004 erm, NO corrados were built in the US... :| They were built in Osnabruck in Germany at the Karmann factory... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mhoult 0 Posted August 10, 2004 Too much stella makes me look like a COCK :x At the rate that this forum and ebay is going then a corrado is being broken every week, so a few thousand weeks and we have a sought after rarety. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60Jet 1 Posted August 10, 2004 you can contact the DVLA or DVLC to find out how many of any make and model are registered in the uk IIRC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vr6storm 0 Posted August 10, 2004 i think chubbybrown was told that in total VW made 500 nugget yellow C's :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ben16v 0 Posted August 10, 2004 i know this slightly off topic but did they make every colour (except storm colours) in every engine variety?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6storm 0 Posted August 10, 2004 i know this slightly off topic but did they make every colour (except storm colours) in every engine variety?? AFAIK they never made UK market C VR6's in nugget yellow Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted August 10, 2004 with ya there Rodders... they'd dropped the colour before the VR6 came out... I remember Top Gear doing a review of 'em and saying that the yellow ones were re-selling for £1000 less than any other colour 'cos there was a lack of demand for 'em.... :? Odd thing is that I always liked Nuggets... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swfblade 0 Posted August 11, 2004 Dunno if this helps any, taken from VW Motoring: The Storm will be available from May, amongst the final production run of 1,300 Corrados for the UK. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kangaroo 0 Posted August 11, 2004 If 9000 were originally brought to the UK then my guestimate is that at least a third have either been written off, broken, or have fallen apart, maybe even up to half. So maybe around 5000 left? What do you think? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scott 0 Posted August 11, 2004 Yeah would say 5000 left is probably about right... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted August 11, 2004 Personally I think that's a bit low, but I have no actual evidence so it's just my opinion. I would have estimated more like 15-20% written off by now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Linus Van Pelt 0 Posted August 11, 2004 If 9000 were originally brought to the UK then my guestimate is that at least a third have either been written off, broken, or have fallen apart, maybe even up to half. So maybe around 5000 left? What do you think? The German Corrado site says there was a total of 97,521 Corrados built, of which about 41,000 went to Germany and of these about 20,000 are currently left; so about half would probably be about right. It also says that in the last year of production, 2,424 Corrados were built (although there's no indication of whether that's world-wide or Germany only). LvP.
