The sales pitch:-

 

Quite a notorious car on here and has had pretty much everything done to it over the years but only for functional / performance reasons.

I've driven loads of Corrados over the years and this is one of the best. I'm not saying that out of bias, it just is :-) It drives superbly and has very few interior squeaks and rattles. Everything works as it should and feels far more solid and planted than it's mileage would suggest.

 

In it's current incarnation, the R32 has given it every day usable performance with surprising economy. I average 32mpg and I know I've seen 35-37 if driven sedately. i.e. sticking to the speed limits and changing up early. And bearing in mind that economy is factoring in the busier motorway cruising speed because of the shorter final drive.

 

Reason for sale:-

 

I've had it nearly 9 years and I fancy a new project. I've developed it as far as my time and funds will allow, so it's time for a new owner to take the reigns :-) I hate to think of the £1000s I've sunk into this car, but trust me on this, my loss is most definitely someone else's gain here ;-)

It's probably worth the asking price in parts alone, but I can't be bothered to break it.

 

Yes it has a high mileage and the MOT is short, but I won't be entertaining daft offers. It's one of the most sorted Corrados around and I think the price is very fair considering the investment and time it's had put into it. But I have also taken into consideraton it's mileage and the fact the paint isn't as perfect as I'd like.

I'm not sure to be honest mate. So many ideas floating around in my head, but that also appeals!

The car doesn't owe me anything and I'm not desperate to sell it. It's not advertised on any paid sites. I just want it to go to the right person :)

 

Video link fixed and another one from the back (and proof the spoiler works and there's no blue smoke) :
