G60 Aqua Blue Pearl Early 1991 133k 12m MOT Stacks of Paperwork!!!

Recommended Posts

This car has had an absolute fortune spent on it around £9k in the last couple of years and only done 6k miles since the work.

The list below gives you an idea of whats been recently done.

Car works as it should, runs and drives without fault. Even the Sunroof works perfectly fine.

 

MOT until Nov 2018, just passed with one advisory of minor exhaust gas leak (Which I've now sorted see further down Powerflow)

🔹 134,000 miles

🔹 Engine fully stripped and rebuilt 6,000 miles ago, including:

🔹 Forged pistons with steel rods

🔹 Block rebored from 1.8L capacity to 1.9

🔹 Refaced block, cylinder head ported and polished

🔹 Skimmed head

🔹 Power boost valve kit

🔹 Stage 4 supercharger rebuild and upgrade by Jabbasport

🔹 Smaller 68mm pulley

🔹 Alloy intercooler

🔹 All valves, seals and head bolts replaced

🔹 Chipped ECU providing 140bhp at the wheels and 190bhp at the flwheel at 5,500 rpm

🔹 Clifford alarm

🔹 K&N filter

🔹 Samco sport blue hoses

🔹 SWG scuttle panel

🔹 O.Z 17” Ultraleggeras

🔹 4 almost new Pirelli P Zero Nero tyres

🔹 Powerflow exhaust system, Brand new just fitted.

🔹 Adjustable KONI coilovers recently fitted

🔹 Upgraded brakes, larger pads and drilled discs

Recently added Osram Bright 130% Brighter Light with Loom upgrade all fitted and Short Shifter kit.

 

When I bought the car, it had a full Rieger bodykit, sideskirts and rear spoiler. I have removed these and replaced with original parts. This has left behind some silicone which I have tried to remove and in the process, I’ve damaged the paintwork. As I’ve said above, it needs a blow over I don’t have the time to get this done and I now have no space to store her as I have other projects that have taken priority. I have extensive receipts and paperwork for the above listed work and upgrades. Selling as I have too many other projects and vehicles to give her the attention she deserves. A lot of people say the same in their adverts but if you want to come and see the Rado, I’ll show and explain the others to you. This is a very, very fun car to drive and with a respray, it will be a great example of a G60.

 

£4500

May take a PX if it's something retro VW.

WOW!!! This is my very first Rado! Bought this from ProdigalSon back in 2000/2001. Lovely to see it's still running. Glad the sunroof is working now. GLWS- wish I had the spare cash 8)

Thank you, it's a great car and I know I will regret the sale but I've just lost my storage otherwise it wouldn't be up for sale. So looking for a new owner.

Absolutely gutting that a perfectly good car has to get broken. A total waste :(

 

Hasn't been up for sale long either + it's a bad time of year to sell. Breaking this will be a helluva lot more hassle than being a little patient and selling as a whole. Having broken two knackered Corrado's in the past, I know you will end up with shedloads (literally) of hard to shift stuff that nobody wants. You will have to store, clean, package and post everything, not to mention the time taken to remove everything in the first place. It would be a travesty if this seemingly solid shell simply went to a scrappy to get crushed. Would be surprised if you get anything like the money you'd get from selling it whole as well. Sometimes Corrado's reach a state when they're more valuable in parts, but this doesn't look anywhere near that.

^^I completely agree.

 

Need to give it a couple of months to sell before breaking. Breaking is a ball ache!

Someone will want it I'm sure. Get it on Facebook, Pistonheads etc.

 

Cazza, make him an offer!
