Bought in September 2007 and took it to Germany October 2007 where it was run on either Shell Racing 100 and/or Aral 102 and serviced/worked on mainly at German Volkswagen dealerships, occasionally VW specialists.

I bought the car as it was the nicest one I’d seen, plus I need a good, solid fast car for the derestricted Autobahn’s.

During this time it was run on standard VW oil; which since my ownership has been changed every 5000 miles and garaged daily.

Brought back to the UK mainland in October 2010 and then over to N.Ireland in January 2011, currently running on Silkolene Pro S 10W/50 oil and also garaged daily and used very rarely. Currently insured on limited mileage classic car insurance.

As much as I’d like to keep the car, I don’t really use it much anymore as I live very close to where I work. I’ve got a whole bunch of paperwork, and £1000’s worth of invoices in a folder for the car too for the buyer to browse through!

£3350. This car is now priced to sell. I've had it advertised for more and I've now reduced it, not because I didn't think it wasn't worth more, but to bring it in line with other Corrados. Otherwise this car just sits in a garage not being used.

CAR IS NOW LOCATED IN CAMBRIDGE.

Make me an offer then ;)

I have so much history on this car. I still have the invoice from 1995 where this car (ex-demo?!) was sold from a Volkswagen dealership with 4500 miles on it...for £20,500!

God dammit.. Why couldn't have this been for sale 1 month ago? You wouldn't want a Mk2 GTi would you? :lol:
