1995 VOLKSWAGEN CORRADO

A true 1990s icon, the Volkswagen Corrado VR6 Storm represents the ultimate evolution of Volkswagen’s much-loved coupe. Hailed by CAR Magazine as one of the ‘25 cars you must drive before you die’, the VR6 Storm combined serious performance with subtle, understated styling and a level of build quality that has allowed the very best examples to age with remarkable grace.

Powered by the charismatic 2.9-litre narrow-angle VR6 engine producing 188bhp and 181lb ft of torque, driving through a five-speed manual gearbox, the Storm was capable of 0–60mph in 6.9 seconds and a top speed of 145mph. More than outright figures, it is the torque-rich delivery, mechanical feel and unmistakable six-cylinder soundtrack that define the car and continue to win over enthusiasts three decades later.

Built as a limited run-out model for the UK market, just 500 Storms were produced, split between Classic Green with Cream leather and Mystic Blue with Black leather. Each featured colour-coded grille detailing, discreet Storm badging, heated front seats and 15-inch BBS Solitude alloy wheels. Today, the model enjoys genuine cult status, and this particular example is believed to be one of just 16 manual cars currently recorded with the DVLA, underlining its rarity.

First registered in 1995, this car was in the hands of its original owner for approximately the first 62,000 miles and now shows just over 64,000 miles from new.

In recent years the car has benefitted from significant investment, including a new clutch, new exhaust, a bare-metal glass-out respray and refurbished original alloys. The result is a Storm that presents exceptionally well while retaining the integrity and character that make these cars so appealing. The bodywork is sharp, the paintwork deep and consistent, and the interior remains beautifully preserved, reflecting both the low mileage and careful ownership.

Low-mileage, manual VR6 Storms with documented history are increasingly hard to source, particularly examples that remain true to factory specification and have received the right mechanical and cosmetic attention. This is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most desirable modern classic Volkswagens — a car that delivers genuine analogue driving pleasure and is firmly established as a collector’s piece.
