doesn't look much like classic green to me, more like turquoise. Maybe its the camera.

or the fact Classic Green is a Pearl paint so gives off a different colour dependant on lighting conditions

I think peeps here are getting confused and thinking its overmats you are offering,now I'm maybe wrong here but I take it,that its replacement complete interior carpet shaped for the Corrado?

if so then that seems to be quite a decent price,well going by how much it would cost for me to get my 993 re-carpetted

the PCV is normally cheaper to get from Ford(shared with the Galaxy V6 aka Sharan VR6),as VW want you to buy all the extra hose,whereas you can get the PCV itself from Ford(circa £35)

from memory Classic car policies normally stipulate that the classic car you are insuring isnt your main car

you are mad :cuckoo:

 

much as I love the Corrado the Alfa Romeo knocks socks off it with its styling(inside and out)

r u lookin at the same car mate :pukeleft:

deffo,if you take your rose tinted glasses off you will see where I'm coming from,the Corrado has some awkward styling from the front,whereas the Alfa is evenly balanced,If the Alfa had the same reliability and build quality as the Corrado I think I'd be an Alfa owner

you are mad :cuckoo:

much as I love the Corrado the Alfa Romeo knocks socks off it with its styling(inside and out)

the last made would have been in 1995 seeing as they stopped production in Summer 1995

always been my Favourite Corrado of all time Bill :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

you keeping well i take it? :salute:

also dependant on how her boss has his other businesses set up,that can be disregarded

btw she doesnt work in/at the food courts in the Bon Accord centre by any chance?,as from what I know if its them its down to the Centres having a refurbishment and no fault of the business who operate the food courts at present

Great updates as always. I heard that some of the Mexico cars suffered from poor bodywork treatments. I hope you don't find anything unexpected lurking!

 

Prodigal's G60 is Hecha in Mexico too, although a check of my VIN shows a Wolfsburg origin.

please tell me that you know that ALL Corrado's were built in Osnabruck and just because it says "Hecho En Mexico" on a Corrado part doesnt make it built in Mexico,as for the Wolfsburg "origin" of your own motor thats more than likely down to Corrado's being ordered via VW HQ in Wolfsburg

So it was only J reg between 2003 and 2005?

private plates can be put on anything that is newer than the plate,so J being the 91/92 prefix can be put on anything post Aug 91 including a brand spanking new 60 plate car,you cant however put a newer plate on a car that is older than the plate,so you cant put a 60 plate on a 59(new style) reg'd car

  greasegriff said:

The J plate will have been private. N reg would fit in with it being a 95 VR6 (and hopefully a Storm!)

 

It should be on the logbook as a Storm if it is I think.

it wont show in the V5/logbook if its a Storm or not

I put Martin onto that car so do I get some good Karma!! Its always good getting bits, get them fitted ASAP though as if your like me they will just lie about and never get fitted.

 

I'm surprised Martin wanted the car even with your recommendations, he seemed to think that all C's are better sent to the scrappy. I just kept quite, didn't want to annoy the sales man as it where... :lol:

Tho Martin aka Lumley aka McB aka Marty

didnt seem to mind having a long term loan of my C 3/4 years ago,but right enough he does enjoy breaking Corrado's,that must be at least his 3rd breaker,its a shame as about 4 years ago that was quite a nice G60 as it was quite local to me

ask the advice of the above

as for the operator at the Police to be fair on them they are basically normally just civilians and have no real knowledge of the relevant laws

it still could be genuine tho,the CS could also be ordered with most of the deleted stuff back on(ie standard seats,rear wiper and met paint etc),the only sure way to check is by contacting Porsche GB

rim or outer rim I think would be the terminology for it :shrug:

If it helps, British leyland were building these 30 years ago but people still don't buy them.... there must be a reason I'd suggest........

i think your getting confused with Leyland DAF and DAF the car maker here,DAF cars had CVT boxes in the 60's/70's,BL didnt use a CVT box until the early 90's

Tried the wheels and it looks like 15mm spacers are needed so there getting sold on as thats too much for me. The wheels still would have sat quite far into the arch as well.

 

Shame as there nice subtle wheels in very good condition.

suppose I could always buy them back :norty: :cuckoo: :norty: what kinda figure you after G?

It would have to be a fantastic condition Corrado for me to consider a grey leather interior'd Corrado,as the grey dash and carpet doesnt really work for me

thats mine ordered

gone for black instead of BRG tho :wink:

Yep, I'm not putting any money down until we have a firmer idea of what we're paying.

+1

It'll be Tornado Red as Flash red wasnt available as a colour option in 1990

Bobby aka B5VWC,brilliant to deal with and goods as described,even gave me a bit of discount without me asking might I add for buying a job lot of stuff from him :notworthy:

I'm in too

British Racing Green :norty: inc clips

pearoast from a couple of years back
