Corrado 2l 16v, original car, coventry. Long mot and tax

[mk2moo 10]

Hey here is my corrado for sale or poss swap for something a little more interesting. This is my 3rd corrado so I know them inside and out now really and this is a solid original, no rust or rot example. I haven't had this long. I got it off a mate to help him out and I am a sucker for a corrado. However I would prefer to sell as I have another car which is not selling, or as above maybe swap for something a little more different and interesting.

 

So the car:

 

It is a 1993 K reg classic green corrado. It has Mot till around the end of april and tax is just under 5 months remaining.

 

Engine is a 2l 16V 9A, 141,000 miles. Oil and coolant change 2 weeks ago, new stat and water pump as bearing had gone.

The only mod is a scorpion back box, not my taste but came on the car and works so no point changing it. I do have an oval scorpion back box which I removed off my old 16v which looks better an will give it to the buyer. The coolant light is on near enough constantly, the car does not over heat, nor does it use any coolant. It is a fault sensor, I haven't replaced as I know the car is all ok. You could drive it for a while and it be flashing the whole time. go to a shop or get petrol, turn it on and it wont flash again. I think the sensor is part of the expansion bottle. I sit in a lot of traffic and it behaves as it should. Also the temp reading on clocks an MFA confirm it is not over heating. It had a new clutch last year so the biting point is is strong.

 

It is on standard suspension, which gives a good ride but doesn't give loads of body roll. If you have driven one of these cars before you will know they handle good from stock. It needs front top mounts replacing, a 30 min job. I will try sort this weekend if I have time, however if I don't i'll include a set in the sale.

 

The body work is straight and true, the sills have not been crushed or any of the usual things that happen with them. They are straight and rust free. The bumpers are crack free, it still has the front 90mm splitter. There are a couple of paint chips on the pass door, maybe from car parks etc. no dents. I noticed on the tailgate by the rubber seal there is a tiny bit of surface rust, please see pic.

 

The interior is grey cloth, it is a bit dirty at the moment. I haven't had time to clean it since I got it. I have cleaning materials in the boot and so should be sorted before sale. Again if not its included. The door cards are all in one piece, the seat bolsters are good and very supportive. the parcel shelf is uncut. It has a radio cd player, nothing special though. Al the switches work and everything is in its place.

 

Electrics are all good on this rado. A focal point of the rado, the electric spoiler works perfect via button or at 50 mph plus. The sunroof works as it should, it tilts and slides. The electric windows and electric mirrors again work perfect, no hesitation etc. The heater controls also work as they should in this car. I have removed an aftermarket alarm and had the loom replaced so it was not all messy. The MFA works perfect, shows all the details such as MPG and Temp. I have a new ignition switch for it as it can be temperamental. I again will try fit it before the car goes anywhere, however that depends on work load over the coming days/weeks.

 

This is a solid original corrado, most of them have been lowered etc and so its nice just to see one near factory like spec. This corrado does not have the usual corrado faults, it works great. I use it daily and it has not let me down.

 

I am located in Coventry, West Midlands.

 

My number is: zero 7 four 5 6 5 0 0 eight 8 seven

Price I am looking at is £1300 ono

Never seen this car around - weird. But that looks like Odeon / Skydome carpark!
