One of only 500 VR6 Storms, with an excellent service record and only 49k miles.
EQUIPMENT
Classic Green pearl effect paintwork, Cream leather upholstery, 16-inch BBS alloy wheels, 5-speed manual transmission, Heated front sports seats, Electric tilt/ slide sunroof, Leather steering wheel and gear knob, Storm badging, Colour-coded grille, Electric windows, Heated and electric door mirrors, Front fog lights, Electric rear spoiler, Remote central locking, Space saver spare wheel, Original VW document pack and manuals.
EXTERIOR
Finished in sublime Classic Green pearl – one of only two colours available to the Storm – this low mileage example presents very nicely indeed. Following a full machine polish by our in-house detailer the paintwork displays a lovely deep shine throughout and, while not 100% free of imperfections, remains in very good original condition. At the front end there is the usual dusting of light stone chips including to the nearside indicator and fog lamp, although there are no signs of moisture ingress to report. The car is nice and straight along both sides with all the trims and seals still retaining a great finish. The badges are also in fine original fettle and the automatic spoiler operates exactly when it should. At the rear end there are some visible paint imperfections localised to the offside corner and bumper but otherwise it’s a superb example overall.
INTERIOR
The interior remains in fantastic original condition. The cream sports seats have all worn very well with little more than some expected surface wear to the driver’s bolsters as evidence of the car’s 27 years of age. All too often pale interiors such as this end up being re-connolised and so it’s nice to see that no previous repairs have been carried out here, the leather still feeling notably soft and supple throughout. The cream door cards are also in great shape with no marking or discolouration, the steering wheel and gear knob show very few signs of wear, and the dash is without any cracks or sun damage. Having always been protected by a set of VW mats the pale carpets are remarkably unworn and at the rear the seats appear to have seen very little use.
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
This lovely VR6 has always been maintained to a very high standard, as evidenced by the 20 service stamps in the original maintenance booklet. The longest time the car has ever been between services is 3 years when it was placed into dry storage before the owner moved abroad. Since arriving at 4 Star a full vehicle health check and major service have been carried out. For additional peace of mind a fresh MOT will be done upon sale.
WHEELS, TYRES AND BRAKES
The Corrado sits on its original 16-inch BBS, all in perfect unmarked condition having just been fully refurbished to the highest standard by Lepsons; new BBS centre badges have also been fitted since the photos were taken. The wheels are shod in matching Goodyear tyres with ample tread left. The brakes have also been inspected and remain in excellent operational condition having just been fitted with new pads and discs all round.
HISTORY FILE
First registered in June 1995 this rare VR6 Storm – 1 of 250 produced in Classic Green – has driven only 49k miles in the hands of just 3 registered keepers (the current since 2011). The car is accompanied by the most amazing service record with 20 stamps in the original maintenance booklet, as detailed below. Following on from a 2 year period in dry storage the Corrado has just returned from a major service at the current mileage by our trusted classic car specialists. Other items carried out included a full vehicle inspection, new
discs and pads all round, a new battery, drive belt, handbrake adjustment, a new rear brake caliper, and brake fluid change.
