I am looking into importing a Corrado

wolfsburg · 02-10-2005, 12:06 PM

Just FYI, I too love the look and like what I am hearing from owners of this model of VW. I have contacted an importer in Melbourne about getting a late model 94+ VR6.

Will keep you all informed as news unfolds. I will be restoring my Mk1 once I can get a Corrado landed.

Bring it on!

Mate you won't be dissapointed with one, just hold out for a sub 70K one if possible, with FVWSH.

The best place to find one will be on the biggest community forum where the enthusiasts sell them

www.the-corrado.net

Great place to learn about them aswell, give me a shout if you think i can help in any way, i've not much to do for the next 3 weeks, will be in Sydney on the 21st ............

Thanks Carpoid, I spent most of the weekend going over the various resources online. It seems the Corrado is a love / hate relationship, but what car is not to an enthusiast

I think I will try to get one from Japan.

I will try to hold out for a low K one. :roll:

Cheers.

Cool - was assuming you get a UK car, forgot about japan having Corrado's !! I take it hey are RHD ? Any differences in spec ?? The UK VR6 is 190BHP, is the Japanese the same ??

yup jap cars are all RHD

and mostly low km's cos they turn then over quick

i got an email today from importer

I cannot import one. Though I find that strange as the Corrado is listed on the desirable vehicle list. So may have to wait till it is 15 years old.

That is odd - as you say its on the 'Specialist/Enthusiast' list. Can you not contact the people who decide directly and find out ??
I think the 15 yr old rule only applies to new residents etc but i could be wrong.

Don't give up !!
Hang in there !!

This is the listing taken from Specialist and Enthusiast Vehicle Scheme (SEVS)

170/00 MA Volkswagen Corrado Corrado 1989 - 1995

I will follow this up a bit more to see what the go is.
