Thread: I am looking into importing a Corrado

    I am looking into importing a Corrado

    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 ??

    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.
