1995 VW Corrado VR6 180,000 Miles, MOT to September 2016

Recommended Posts

Body has suffered from being kept outside. It has been T-Cut too many times so rust is bubbling up. I've filled a few areas but I haven't got the time to finish it off. Also it has been kept under a horse chestnut tree so there are a few minor dimples in the roof. Tailgate is from a breakers yard so not an exact colour match. Needs a really good clean!

 

Starts and runs great but does not start when warm (invariably starts if you temporarily disconnect the fuel supply hose, so I've always been able to drive it home).

 

5 good tyres, new front discs

 

Not working: tailgate washer spray, light behind the clock, bonnet release retaining clip (mole-grips supplied with car). Everything else works: Alarm/immobiliser, ABS, central locking, electric spoiler, electric windows, electric sunroof, etc. Battery is on its last legs though.

 

MOT Advisories: rear brake disks worn but not seriously weakened, nearside ball joint slight play, some engine oil leak, slight corrosion nearside sill (could be repaired without welding).

Great as a rolling restoration or as a hack that still does 0-60 in 7 seconds. Hence, £400 to a good home.

Yes, MOT to Sep 24 2016. It should make the trip but it has a problem starting when warm. I can show you the trick to get it going if this happens. Best have jump leads handy in case the battery dies before it fires though.

Ok mate, could you hold it until next weekend if possible as I doubt I could get there before then. Happy to sort out payment today though

Hi Keith,

Interested in the VR been looking for a good project for a while, are the adviseries from the last mot and does it have a current mot. I would like to get it picked up and trailered down to Devon if you would be happy with that. Thanks Simon.

The advisories are from last September. MOT is good until 24 September 2016. I'll hold it for easypops until Sunday. Because there is much interest, I; won't move on price on the day if you decide you don't like it though.

anyway hows the storm coming along!!!

 

The weather up here has been shocking mate, literal it's rained almost every day since the start of November! Hence no further bodywork been done so I've just been gathering parts, cleaning the interior(dying next week hopefully) got a load of more bits blasted and decided to paint them rather than powdercoating

Very little time mate, but time is irrelevant as I know now that I'll almost certainly always own a Corrado.......or 3 :lol:
