I went to the UK last week at the drop of a hat cos a mate was going and we spent 2 whole days driving miles around Bermingham to Wigan and then on to Newcastle.........we looked at no less than 13......yes 13 different Corrados.

Yeah I know its the same colour as my old one but it wasn't my intention.

I had gone over to see a supposed mint Storm and a 50k mile mint BlackBerry VR6 to find they were very much abused and probably had alot more miles on them than the clock showed. The rest were just rough in general and I wanted one as good as my old one so I was been quite fussy..... its my money so its precious to me! lol

Drove to see almost every VR6 advertised on both Autotrader and Pistonheads and in the end we found this one in Newcastle.

Car has been garaged all the time and hasn't been driven during the Winter periods and it does show. None of the usual under body corrosion as found on most UK cars.

All MOT's and service history plus receipts to back up genuine milage of 79k. Brand new original VW suspension and boy am I impressed with the ride quality. I honestly don't plan to lower it or put back on 17's. The ride is just too good and handles extemely well in the corners. It does have a nice new Miltek CAT-back exhaust too.

Needs a few small things done to tidy her up. First thing she needs is a nice induction roar........

The speedlines are in good condition for their age but could still do with a refurb. I am currently weighing up whether or not to buy new ones or get them re-furbed. I would love to get a set of "Brands Hatch" VR6 option alloys for her but they are quite expensive from the dealers.

Wear well and safe driving.

Whenever you get a chance can you comment on the various places you visited selling VWs or were they mainly all private sales? Sounds like a fantastic road trip.

Original just cant be beat! I would'nt be lowing it or putting on 17".

Beautiful - leave it that way I think! Health to wear lad!

Very tidy car, the interior (drivers seat especially) looks well clean.

The Brands Hatch rims would suit it I reckon.

Thanks for the all comments lads.

Yeah, really wanted to leather again but this one was too good to turn away from. I'm on the look out for recaros again. those original seats are a tight fit for a guy like me
