Ford

Very sorry to hear about your car Andy, those pictures are really painful to look at, it was a fantastic example- I was inspired to get a silver VR from seeing this one the forum a few years back. Dinkus now has my C, as I was doing too many miles in it. I am still hankering after another C [if I can get a garage with the new house the wife better watch out], even after almost two years . Sure you will miss it.

Lovely Storm! Have you got a pic of the merc? And anymore pics of the storm - interior etc. I live in Oxford too - will have to look out for you, are you north, south, east.... I know there is a mystic storm in Headington that I have had my eye on. If you ever decide to sell, please let me know I am probably just round the corner - this would tempt me back to rado ownership (so please PM me if you decide to sell it)! If I buy another C it will have to be a storm (got a polo now for a daily commute too). I recon you should keep it though, such a rare car in with this mileage - you will really regret it. I really regret selling mine (just the cost of running the thing was a nightmare, but I have a short memory). I also drive my girlfriend mad pining after C's everytime I see one. My friend who has a C came down to my surprise 30th party on Saturday and borrowed his mates diesel because he knew that I would be able to sniff out a C in a 5 mile radius and know something was up. Look forward to seeing more pics!

Yep that is she! Maybe not so rare after all - just that I have not seen one since - wonder how many they made?

Saw a mint Porsche 914 on the streets of Paris a month ago - never seen one in the flesh and it actually looked quite nice. A couple of months back also spotted a De Tomaso Pantera in London- pretty rare super car beast too! Rarest car prior to that that sticks in memory is a offroad lambo I think it was called the LM002 - unbelievably ugly - can't believe they signed it off for production. Saw it back in the 80's!

Very nice - that looks really good, brings the C right up to date! IMO would be better without the eyebrow though?

Wow, I wish I had a garage :( I would be scared to leave that out in the open... Definately worth at least £8k!

What a beaut! Would love to see more pictures of this!!

Corrado's not affected by new tax bands as registered before 2001 - just a £5 increase on normal road tax.

Yep agree on the above re: grill. Always wondered how those lights would look on the silver C and I think they are awesome - much better than I imagined really suit the silver C! Nice silver C!!

From the thread title I thought you had lost your job or something!

Friend just got back from South Africa - he spotted a Corrado in George (near Knysna). Anybody on here? Must be the only corrado in SA.

LOL - I was going to mention that was just scrolling down the thread... that was a seriously nerve racking experience having the Haywire scrutinise the C! Glad it passed the test of tests though (Haywire and VAG-COM). Although the Haywire had seen it a couple of months previously when I bought the wheels and kindly spotted a couple of errors on VC which were then remedied before the sale, so wasn't too bad in the end. I just sold my golf and had a VW mech come and check it out - that didn't do my blood pressure any good either. The cars I sell somehow seem to attract the experts!

First pic is awesome, loving those wheels!

Sorry to hear that, I live in Oxford too and the amount of stupid people that go all the way round the round abouts in the outside lane is unbelievable. I almost see evidence of an accident every day on that ring road! Surprised they haven't done anything about it - I think more traffic lights are required. I found it safer to drive in London to be honest! Friend of mine has been hit twice in 6 months at the Botley interchange - once with his pregnant partner in the passenger seat. Best of luck, hope you get it sorted out! How does that guys sleep at night, what a loser!

There is currently a metallic red 16 valver (k-reg) parked in the Oxford Science Park. Anyone here - looks totally original and in very nice condition.
