  1. Well good luck, hope you manage to get hold of it.
  2. The car obviously needs to be rescued!
  3. Well if you can find an engine for it at a good price then it would be worth it. It would need to be the 2.9 though, can't have a stom with a 2.8, you need to keep these cars in standard trim if you want to maintain their value.
  4. I guess he figures it will be worth a few quid in years to come and is holiding on to it but keep hounding!!
  5. Ok a few things to check, if it's a genuine mystic blue storm it should have the following: Paint code on the label on the inside rear panel in the boot should be LC5L (mystic blue code), this can also be found on a yellow label on the inside of the osf wing but this is hard to see as the air box is in the way. The car should have BBS solitude wheels with either bbs or vw centre caps Storm badging on both the rear of the car and on the gear level surround. Black heated leather seats You wont find any reference to the car being a storm on the log book, it will only be listed as a Corrado VR6. I
  6. There have been mint condition storms selling recently for 7-8k with 80k miles on the clock. I reckon a 40k example would be worth closer to 9k if in mint condition and with a fvwsh.
  7. I would agree with the points already made by andy. The corrado is a very fine handling car. The 190bhp from it's 2.9 litre engine gives good acceleration and overall performance. It's definately worth popping over the the-corrado.net forum to get some info on the car and ownership. It's also worth searching for old car mag group test reviews on the corrado, it came out on top against some very stiff competition from the likes of the SX200, celica, and BMW325i. At the end of the day you have to drive one to make your mind up but I think you would probably be impressed.
  8. Changing the timing chains is a big job. If you are going to have it done it makes sense to do the clutch at the same time.
