This is the advertvert she has in the clasifieds on the Corrado Forum: £1,200 ono VW Corrado 2.0ltr 16v First Registered 01/04/1992 J-Reg 144,500 Miles 3 former keepers MOT expires 5thApril 2012. Exterior: All original and un-modified. Black bodywork in very good condition. No paint scratches to speak of and polishes up really well. The only defect worth mentioning is on the passenger side rear quarter panel join just under the brake light, see pic. 15” Hockenhiem style alloy wheels. Front tyres replaced 2 years ago. Rears could do with replacing. Active rear spoiler. Sunroof tilts but does not slide. Door handle internals replaced. Engine / Running gear: Standard - unmodified. 5 speed manual gearbox.

Lot of service history, invoices / receipts etc. V5 document and current MOT certificate. Lots of previous MOT certificates, V5’s and receipts etc. General Summary: I bought the car in March 2007 as I’d always wanted one. Its had a very easy life and has only done 7k miles since I’ve owned it, including a 1k mile round trip to Le Mans in 2008. Drove down there like a dream. I’d say overall the bodywork and interior are in above average condition. There are a few small things that need attention such as the bonnet cable as mentioned but for a 19 year old car still looks and drives well. We have looked after her well, taking her to South West club meets and the big meet at Prescott Hill climb but since having a baby 9months ago we haven’t had the time. I’d really like it to go to someone who will love her as much as I have. I’ll be very sad to see her go. I am located 6 miles east of Bath, viewings welcome anytime. I can e-mail more detailed pictures on request. Becky
