Supercharged 2 Posted September 8, 2011 I was wondering who'd bought it - one of the very best examples I've seen there! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted September 8, 2011 Yep.. certainly amongst the best Corrado's in the country, no doubt about it. I don't think I'd ever want to buy such a well known, cherished car as I'd always feel the spotlight was on me amongst the enthusiast community.. but I hope you go on and have many happy miles with it :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisL 17 Posted September 8, 2011 Thanks for all the comments, good to know peoples thoughts on it and I cant believe the attention it gets, I had someone taking photos of it on the A1/M last week in the traffic. I don't think I will have any problems keeping it in the condition its in, I have an OCD when it comes to keeping cars clean. Shame I bought it now at the end of the show season, roll on next year! I wanted to make my own mark on it by putting the engine bay back to standard but I do so much like the polished inlet and engine cover! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

24V Renshaw 0 Posted September 16, 2011 Lovely!! Any idea what the steering wheel is other than MOMO, I need something in keeping with the car but I can't bare the standard wheel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisL 17 Posted September 16, 2011 Lovely!! Any idea what the steering wheel is other than MOMO, I need something in keeping with the car but I can't bare the standard wheel. Cheers! I think the wheel is a momo club 4? the momo gearknob will be coming off though as I'm not keen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Langdon 0 Posted September 16, 2011 if you ever want to sale the recaro's can i has first refusal lol;) again one of the best examples on here lovely car mate, look after it, Bill is a proper gent too;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TanVr6 0 Posted September 16, 2011 1 word AWESOME!!!!! Oh and u Jammy git! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Portent 0 Posted September 16, 2011 Stunning. I've also just noticed the doorcards have been retrimmed. Considering the recaros are such superb condition are they originally heated leather or have they been retrimmed from non-heated cloth? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisL 17 Posted September 16, 2011 Thanks guys! I think the car has been re-trimmed from cloth including the original seats, Bill then bought a set of the Recaros and had them done to match the existing leather. I still have the original Corrado seats in the garage! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KADVR6 0 Posted September 16, 2011 never noticed the doorcards were just trimmed in leather, to finish the interior off i would get the doorcards done properly.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisL 17 Posted September 23, 2011 Been having my spare inlet manifold blasted.. get it back Monday to check the finish. Not sure if its right or if its just the photo. What colour spray should I go for on the engine cover please? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
