zygalski 10 Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) Hi. I have a healthy budget so if you own an excellent/vgc example, maybe want to part with it for top money & live in mainland UK then I'd be interested. I can buy immediately upon inspection & test drive if yours is the right one. My criteria are pretty simple: Standard, unmodified VR6 or Storm - don't mind Leather Interior preferred Documented evidence of timing chain/clutch replacement Any colour apart from yellow No rust. Nothing other than very minor bodywork damage Service history. At a minimum going back 5 years or so All electrics working inc. spoiler & sunroof Please PM me if interested. Many thanks.

VAG-hag 0 Posted March 18, 2015 Pm kipvw he has arguably the best vr in UK for sale. Your budget will need to be strong though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
delfinis38 1 Posted March 18, 2015 Pm kipvw he has arguably the best vr in UK for sale. Your budget will need to be strong though Agree... Think the VR was in the region on 13k and the nugget about 8k but don't quote me... Low mileage vr's come up occasionally on the car and classic site... I regular look at the classic car sites as I'm after a lancia delta. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted March 18, 2015 Multi concourse winning cars cost top money though. I'm sure he'd be willing to negotiate a little though, but even so it's likely to be out of reach for most. Examples like that need to stay with people who will continue that kind of dedication as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zygalski 10 Posted March 18, 2015 Thanks chaps. I'm just after one that is fairly low mileage & in overall excellent/vgc, not a concourse example with 50 wins under its belt. Seen good VR6s sold for between £3000-£6000. That's the kind of car I'd like. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goozie 0 Posted March 20, 2015 I have a storm for sale but doesn't tick all your boxes, pm me if your interested? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zygalski 10 Posted March 20, 2015 PM sent. Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zygalski 10 Posted April 17, 2015 Still looking. One that has a documented history of the timing chain & clutch being done within the last few years would be ideal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dox 23 Posted April 17, 2015 I think you need to take something off your original list rather than add more on if you've not found something suitable in 4 weeks. I think Kip wants £14K for his, its one of a very few cars that qualifys for your exacting list of requirements and is for sale? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems like there are a fair few about in the 120-150k bracket, yet the ads don't mention the timing chain/clucth jobs being done. Was quoted about £2k for that job alone. Off-putting to say the least, especially as no doubt several other things would need looking at on any 20 year old VW. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dox 23 Posted April 17, 2015 "Both the VR6 and the Nugget will be advertised for sale soon. Pretty much everything you need to know about both cars is in here but any questions please ask. £7.5k ono For the Nugget £13k ono For the VR6" http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=36576&page=62&highlight=kipvw Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chains kit and a clutch kit around £600, plus 8 - 10 hours or so labour Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zygalski 10 Posted April 17, 2015 Oh yeah, no doubting Corrados are a bit of a bargain if you're a home enthusiast mechanic. I'd want the job done properly by someone with a great reputation who's done it dozens of times before, and the quote I was given reflected that.

Chuggs1 10 Posted April 17, 2015 Thanks chaps. I'm just after one that is fairly low mileage & in overall excellent/vgc, not a concourse example with 50 wins under its belt. Seen good VR6s sold for between £3000-£6000. That's the kind of car I'd like. I had to pay just over £6k for my low mileage one in December. Think the decent original low mileage ones seem to be getting better money lately. Although the poor girl had that blimin sand rain fall on her last weekend (stupidly left her out as the weather was so nice) so I know what my job is tomorrow Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
