Highlights

- Often seen as one of Volkswagen’s best driver’s cars
- 2.9L V6 petrol engine with 5-speed manual transmission
The Appeal
Stocky, and brimming with confidence, the Corrado was a great car for plenty of reasons the moment it rolled out of Osnabrück - but it was when the VR6 hit the market that this sports compact really came into its own. Good for 187bhp, the Corrado VR6 was a speedy, sprightly car that handled exceptionally and still manages to impress today.
This example has been well-loved, and comes to us with a sharp purple livery and highly original interior.
