What's the likelihood of finding a Corrado VR6 in Oz (NSW)?

Cheers carpoid and sadly no, our visas expire this April so there's no chance we're going to risk staying in this crumby country any longer than we have to?!?!

It's taken us 3 years to get to this point so we just want to get to Oz and I'll try and work on Jay to let me have one of his Corrado's??

(Jay, would love to see some pics of them mate - y'know, to make us REALLY jealous!?!?)

Don't blame you mate, took me about 3 1/2 years to get my residency aswell.
These are the only Corrados that we know of anyway, there must be more out here. Though when mine was registered it was the only ever registered one in NSW.

Keep your eyes peeled in Unique cars magazine for one, there was one in there but it was LHD as i said before, would cost alot of time and money to convert and they wanted $20000 for it !! Not there anymore so i guess someone bought it ??!!

Had a few offers on mine !! Great to have a car that very few people have seen before !!

I know what you mean - there must've been some poms that brought their Corrado over so I'll just have to keep looking I guess?? So what's yours like - have you got any pics?

The act one belongs to Peter at the Canberra vw centre and Stephen Muller used to have a NSW registered one.

I still reckon you should bring one from UK mate, you have no chance of getting one here.

Mark Hammond bought the Muller one.

You bring one and you wife brings one and you sell one here to pay for the other one. Free Corrado!

By the way, the Muller one was never registered, its a LHD in the process of being converted to RHD

Thanks for that Carpoid - it's enough to make a grown man cry you know!?!? Now are you SURE that I can't convince you to sell it to me when I get to Oz?? Think about it, there's no need to make any hasty decisions yet but rest assued it will go to a good home!?!?

Well, you can't blame a guy for trying, can you?? Much as I'm tempted to buy a Corrado now I don't really have the cash until we've sold the house. We've also got a fair bit to sort out before we go - on top of all that, the bozo's that video'd our wedding last month are being complete and utter pricks so I may even have to take them to court.....I ****ing hate this country - roll on Oz!!

It's a shame you can't get one before you leave.
Unfortunately i won't be selling any of mine yet but when i get a digital camera i'll post a few pics up.

Hi Jay, I can only say that I'm disappointed in you mate - I mean, you sounded a fair dinkum sort of chap but you want to hang on to both of your Corrados is just way too greedy!?!?

What ones have you got though? I had a 1990 silver 16v'er that hadn't had any mods done to it. When I had the Mk4 Golf I was planning on getting it chipped up to around 200bhp but then we decided to emigrate, start a family and get married.....anything for a stress-free life eh!??!

.....so that kind of put paid to that idea!?!?
