dinkus 10 Posted April 10, 2006 Blimey - if you thought Corrados were rare - VR6 Ventos are even rarer! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
veeDuB_Rado 0 Posted April 10, 2006 Blimey - if you thought Corrados were rare - VR6 Ventos are even rarer! Yup, there's one for sale on here isn't there? That's a sleeper :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ardandy 0 Posted April 10, 2006 According to my calculations, the are/were 3516 VR6 Corrado's sold in the UK! Wonder how many are left? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ardandy 0 Posted April 10, 2006 Wait a minute? Are all storms 1996 or were some sold in 95? If not, then what happened to the other 190 cars? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6storm 0 Posted April 10, 2006 no mention of passat VR6's there tho :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6storm 0 Posted April 10, 2006 Wait a minute? Are all storms 1996 or were some sold in 95? If not, then what happened to the other 190 cars? errrr..........Storm's came out in May 1995............ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trig 0 Posted April 11, 2006 Good bit of info there :thumbleft: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Storm77 0 Posted April 11, 2006 Quite interesting how the figures were right down compared to the Golf VR6 when they first came out. It seemed to take a couple of years for word to travel that they were good cars as in '94 the figures are more balanced. Would love to know how many VRs are left. They only sold 49 autos in total and that was just in 95! Interesting figures. Thought the Highlines were alot rarer than that! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted April 11, 2006 Wasn't the Golf VR6 replaced by the "Golf V6" and the 4motion models in the late 90s? That would explain the cliff-dive in sales figures after 97.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yandards 0 Posted April 11, 2006 Interesting from the point of view that there should be more 16v/G60's out there but the forum seems to have a larger proportion of VR owners than any of the other marks. It's also interesting that the C only sold a few less than the Golf when it came to VR's when they were competing. Would be good to see the sales figures for all the Corrados through its lifespan.

dr_mat 0 Posted April 11, 2006 Aye there should be about 6500 16v/G60s out there, total. Or there once were.. Bear in mind a lot of the 1.8 16vs are much older and less likely to still be around, and the G60 never sold that well, certainly not like the VR..

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted April 11, 2006 no mention of passat VR6's there tho :wink: Probably because it's not a Golf based platform..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Campaign 0 Posted April 11, 2006 Blimey - if you thought Corrados were rare - VR6 Ventos are even rarer! I've had two :), but I wonder if that included the 20-odd that were in the Vento Cup? And I wonder how many of them were police ones? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted April 11, 2006 Hmmm - the only Corrado VR6 auto's were sold in 95, 49 of them must have included the 20 Storms but i'm sure i've seen a 93 or 94 auto... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ardandy 0 Posted April 11, 2006 How accurate are these? Are they from VW? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 Russ 0 Posted April 11, 2006 Does anyone have any way of finding out how many registered Corrado's are left, on the roads. Would be very interesting of seeing how many have gone to the big scrapyard in the sky.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ardandy 0 Posted April 11, 2006 Probably only DVLA can find that out, and its unlikely they'll tell anyone! Anybody fancy ringing and giving it a try? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted April 11, 2006 I called them last year and they confirmed that I own the only Corrado in the UK that is registered to run on 'heavy oil' and they were quite helpful but when I started asking about numbers of Corrado's left etc of each model I don't think the info was that easy to analyse - I reckon they could get the figures easily enough but it may take a bit of time...

Guest Posted April 11, 2006 How accurate are these? Are they from VW? The Following figures have been provided by Volkswagens Marketing Department /me cleans andy's eyes good bit of trivia, I would be interested to see how many are still running, the DVLA must know that. unfortunately my list of contacts doesn't stretch that far Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colley 0 Posted April 11, 2006 I want to know where the 1 2000 Golf VR6 is, prob worth a few bob itself Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jonny_L 0 Posted April 11, 2006 Hang on, I've got a 1994 VR6 auto on an L reg. Does that mean my car doesn't really exist? ...goes and checks the driveway... Unless it wasn't officially sold til 95 maybe? I'll have a look at the paperwork sometime Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
