found my wifes dreamcar .. corrado 16v pristine condition

[gerrit323]

Already knew of its existance for 3 years .. finally last week the guy gave his OK to sell me the corrado

First the pics like it came out of hibernation











en nu komt het



and now the special thing about this car



last MOT form 2008



complete history



undercarridge still in the original tectyl












So completely original and non molested corrado 16v 1.8 KR engine 136hp bought from first owner who bought this car for himslef as a retiring from work gift when he turned 60. He also had a daily driver mercedes that he kept using so the corrado became an item that he liked looking at .. but that he didn't use .. all 709km where driven by the workshop guy up and down the MOT station .. the car never left the town (garage where it was ordered, house of owner, workshop and MOT where al witin 5 miles) and 5th gear had never been used ..

Picked it up last evening and gave it a first wash .. a good polish and wax and she's really NEW.





Will be registered when turned 25 beginning 2015

My wife's happy .. and I'm beginning to like this vw also .. but in the end its not a BMW ..

Wow, what a find! I'd feel guilty putting many km's on that!

Wouldn't be surprised if the Wolfsburg museum came calling.....

+1! incredible car!

Very nice. I used to have a g60 and so did my older brother. Neither of our corrados were as in as nice as condition as yours though, you must be a proud owner.

This sound's like a modern Barn find!

I absolutely love Corrados. This ones beautiful. The only thing I'd change is the wheels for so,e nice OEM alternatives. Wonderful though.

Thinking more and more to keep it completely stock .. you never see those 14" rims anymore

[gerrit323]

Gave this one a good clean today





taped the black plastic trim and started claying and polishing ..



nice result already after step 2/4



and the final result













Very pleased with the result after cleaning it for 8h together with a friend .. no plans until march 2015 so she can be put away for 7 months

[Jeroen]

That car is just plain new! Please note you posted this in the English section where you already made a presentation of the car, perhaps update that thread!?

[gerrit323]

Damn glad you noticed J .. if you want you can put this update in the already existing tread

[uwbuurman]

A very Nice car, Gerrit! Personaly I would keep it under the 1 k km, but on the other hand, its made for driving....

[gerrit323]

Like Jeroen said before .. in 10 years from now when it turns 35 with 10k on the clock it will still be worth all the money .. cars standing still are dying slowly as you know .. I want this one to live on
