rights since my last corrado got quite a bit of intrest thought i might show the new one. I sold the white one when this one popped up only 20 miles away on ebay i knew the car well and it was listed in the wong section as a result i won it for only 600 pound the specs are as follows

1.8 16v

157000

full service history from volkswagon up till 130,000 in 2007 showing all new brake lines fitted in 07 ,new steering rack ,master cylinder,both bottom arms and much more

full factory leather

resprayed a year ago

1 months tax and mot

lowered on coilovers

the not so good bits

one wing is a bit bent where someone tried to roll the arch so gonna get it resprayed but not that noticeable

heres the pics as it came home

first things was put it in for an mot unfortunatlly it failed the mot due to the headlights packing up on the way to the mot but that was all. Fixed that got a years ticket on it gave it a service and changed the ignition switch and its all working well. Overall really happy love the colour and just drove it 500 miles and it didnt miss a beat and did a massive 41 mpg and was very comfortable the wheels in the pics sold on the white one so got the bbs reps on it

 

and even better after selling the white one with cloth and then selling the leather i ended up 350 pound up :)

Brings back memories of having a G60 when I was 24 as a company car with fuel paid!

 

Front tyres didn't last long mind you.

 

Probably the best car I have ever owned, despite having had 4 YVEs

 

Enjoy.

well after doing 3000 miles since i brought the car its clear it needs a new clutch. I used this as an excuse to change the engine so im putting a 2.0 16v abf engine in out of a mk3 gti should get 160bhp when put it in and then 175bhp and alot more torque when i get it rolling road tuned already got the engine for 100 pound and hopefully should be able to swap it in a weekend then and rang my insurance and its only 50 pound more so was very happy with that.Once this is done im hoping to supercharge it with an eaton supecharger in the near future and that should get around 230bhp

Interesting cars these, have thought of getting one in the past. You've got the same wheels as my Merc. They look great on so many cars I think.
