1994 Volkswagen Corrado VR6
Blackberry Metallic | Full Black Leather | 13 Years’ Ownership | Exceptional Service History | Approx. 128, 000 Miles
First registered in August 1994, this beautifully presented Volkswagen Corrado VR6 comes to market following an impressive 13 years in the same ownership.
Finished in the highly desirable Blackberry Metallic with a full black leather interior, this really is a lovely-looking example of Volkswagen’s iconic VR6 coupé and one which has clearly been cherished by both its most recent owner and those before him.
The vehicle has covered approximately 128, 000 miles from new and is accompanied by an exceptionally comprehensive service history documenting its life from its original pre-delivery inspection right through to the present day.
It currently has an MOT until April 2027.
Exceptional Service History
One of the most impressive aspects of this Corrado is the continuity of its early maintenance.
The car was supplied by G. F. Evans & Sons Volkswagen, who carried out its pre-delivery inspection on 19th August 1994. Remarkably, the original owner continued to have the car maintained by the supplying Volkswagen dealer for more than seven years.
The documented service history includes:
* 19th August 1994 – Pre-delivery inspection – G. F. Evans & Sons Volkswagen
* 13th September 1995 – 11, 400 miles – G. F. Evans Volkswagen
* 22nd July 1996 – 20, 220 miles – G. F. Evans Volkswagen
* 22nd May 1997 – 28, 317 miles – G. F. Evans Volkswagen
* 26th February 1998 – 35, 438 miles – G. F. Evans Volkswagen
* 27th July 1998 – 40, 412 miles – G. F. Evans Volkswagen
* 4th August 1999 – 46, 094 miles – G. F. Evans Volkswagen
* 11th July 2000 – 50, 801 miles – G. F. Evans Volkswagen
* 12th July 2001 – 53, 461 miles – G. F. Evans Volkswagen
Following a change of keeper, the car continued to receive regular specialist and Volkswagen maintenance:
* 23rd August 2002 – 54, 400 miles – Specialist service
* 24th August 2003 – 58, 715 miles – Specialist service
* 24th January 2005 – 66, 157 miles – Volkswagen main dealer
* 27th April 2006 – 76, 203 miles – Volkswagen specialist
* 11th May 2007 – 83, 339 miles – Volkswagen specialist
* 17th February 2010 – 96, 718 miles – Full service following a period of little use, including gearbox oil and power-steering oil
* 2nd December 2011 – 107, 762 miles – Specialist service
* 22nd October 2012 – 113, 524 miles – Specialist service
* August 2013 – approximately 124, 000 miles – Numerous parts and service items purchased, with supporting invoices retained in the history file
The current long-term owner acquired the Corrado in 2013 at approximately 124, 000 miles, by which point it already possessed the extensive documented history detailed above.
Only Around 3, 000 Miles Covered in 13 Years
Following its purchase in 2013, the Corrado was taken off the road for a number of years and remained unused between approximately 2013 and 2021.
Since returning to the road, it has continued to be maintained while covering remarkably little mileage.
The MOT history demonstrates its exceptionally limited use:
* 2021 – 126, 960 miles
* April 2022 – 126, 988 miles
* May 2023 – 127, 083 miles
* May 2024 – 127, 155 miles
* April 2025 – 127, 157 miles
* April 2026 – 127, 161 miles
The car has therefore covered only a little over 3, 000 miles during approximately 13 years with its current owner.
A Beautifully Presented VR6
The combination of Blackberry Metallic paintwork with full black leather suits the Corrado exceptionally well and makes for a particularly attractive example.
The car presents beautifully and it is evident that it has been cared for throughout its life.
Perhaps most importantly, it comes with the sort of provenance that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Its early life is particularly well documented, with more than seven years of servicing by its original supplying Volkswagen dealer, followed by continued Volkswagen main-dealer and specialist maintenance.
The Corrado VR6 has long been regarded as one of Volkswagen’s great modern classics. Its distinctive coupé styling, excellent chassis and charismatic narrow-angle VR6 engine made it something very special when new, and good examples are becoming increasingly sought after today.
This particular car offers a compelling combination of desirable colour combination, full leather interior, long-term ownership, extensive provenance and exceptionally limited use over the past 13 years.
With approximately 128, 000 miles, an MOT until April 2027 and a substantial history file accompanying the vehicle, this is a very well documented and beautifully presented example of an increasingly collectible Volkswagen performance coupé.
