joebrent 0 Posted September 7, 2004 Got talking to a guy a few days ago at work, he had a P reg VR6 that he bought from new. He was saying something to me about there only being 5 in the country and that VW had 5 shells left over after the storm and they specced em with leather and air. His was black with black leather with only 30k on the clock!!!!! He was thinking of selling it but wanted about 8k for it :shock: Anyone heard about these last five corrados? I feel he was talking boll**ks!! The car was a minter, completley standard except for an induction cat and magnex cat back, I wanted it badly!!!

kangaroo 0 Posted September 7, 2004 I got a P-reg! :) Registered Nov. '96. Black with grey leather interior, no air-con though. Not sure about the 'shells left over' story, but I've definitely heard there are only around 5 P-reg's in the UK, and I believe one of them is also a Storm. (How unique would that be? A P-reg storm... cor...) I would buy his car for 8k, it sounds good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supercharged 2 Posted September 7, 2004 The last Corrado's were built in 95, there are 5 or 6 registered on a P plate but apart from that there is nothing special about them, I've seen 2 but they could have been the same one... A guy was selling a Q plater on eBay a while ago, 'one of a kind' - yeah, I bet it was! And I have heard there is an R plate somewhere but thats probably bollox! Me, Mr Haywaire and Mr NelsonWilbury were discussing something similar in the pub last night - How VAG seem to 'find' cars like the few G40 Polo's that got registered on T plates and Mk 2 16V GTi's on N's... maybe there are still some Corrado's still to come....

Storm 0 Posted September 8, 2004 ahhhhhh.....that'll be the old b0ll0x then :wink: But I would pay 8k for his car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corradostorm 0 Posted September 8, 2004 The last 5 thing may be true but they didn't follow the Storms. As everyone now knows, the Storms are basically just an ordinary Corrado badged up in the UK. The chassis numbers are also in no specific order so there's no way of knowing what was the 'last' Storm without having all the cars recorded in one place which, so far as i'm aware, has never been done. Also, the last registered car is not necesary the last ever made. Now that would be a valuealbe Corrado! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rado16v 0 Posted September 8, 2004 There was a P reg Mystic Storm at a CCGB meet a few years ago, was in real shabby shape. There's also a P reg VR currently being broken but not sure where, a mate's just ordered the sunroof cartridge off it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kangaroo 0 Posted September 8, 2004 There's also a P reg VR currently being broken but not sure where, a mate's just ordered the sunroof cartridge off it. Nooo! That means there's only 4 left now... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedi-knight83 0 Posted September 8, 2004 having all the cars recorded in one place which, so far as i'm aware, has never been done. now that would be cool, all the storms remaining in the uk all at one meet!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 8, 2004 Also, the last registered car is not necesary the last ever made. Now that would be a valuealbe Corrado! Didn't VW keep that for themselves and put it in their museum? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corradostorm 0 Posted September 8, 2004 Not sure, I know there is a Storm there but no idea about the last Corrado. Would Karman have it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I forgot I saw another P reg one at Stealth no so long ago, that was in a bit of a state (I saw the VAG-COM readout!!) - at least the owner had brought it too the right place tho...

Leavon 0 Posted September 8, 2004 I've seen a VR in the musuem in the Karmann factory in Osnabruck, might be the one that Tiff drove back to the factory? I got a guided tour of the museum and the factory cause a friend lived there and new someone who worked there (it's not open to the public as far as I know). It was really interesting, some cool one offs like the Scirrocco and C convertibles and a cool 2000 karmann sports car that they couldn't find a backer for.

Pat_McCrotch 0 Posted September 8, 2004 The only Corrado I've ever been in was a P-reg VR6 :D Didn't realise they we're that rare! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leavon 0 Posted September 9, 2004 "they have a museum that isn't open to the public?" I think it's classed more as a private collection, I'm sure if you were to pull up at the gates in ya C they'd be willing to let ya have a look around though :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CazzaVR 0 Posted September 9, 2004 Tomson, was it mystic blue? Remember seeing a mystic blue Storm in Ciren a couple of years ago- have never seen another C, let alone a Storm in Cirencester before! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
