1995 VOLKSWAGEN CORRADO

The Volkswagen Corrado VR6 Storm was introduced in 1995 as a limited-edition, UK-market run-out model, marking the end of Corrado production. With just 500 examples produced, it combined the model’s distinctive coupé styling with the smooth, characterful 2.9-litre VR6 engine, complemented by BBS alloy wheels, leather upholstery, heated front seats and unique Storm detailing. Available in just two colour combinations with 250 finished in Classic Green and 250 in Mystic Blue, the Storm has become one of the most sought-after versions of Volkswagen’s much-admired sporting coupé.

Finished in Classic Green Pearl Effect with Light Beige leather, the example offered here indicated just over 48,000 miles from new at the time of cataloguing and has just one previous owner. Offered from 17 years careful ownership, it appears remarkably original, with the only noted modification being an upgraded stereo, with the original unit included in the sale. The paintwork is notably uniform, while the interior displays minimal wear to its finishes. The cabin space presents beautifully, with a clean, fresh leather scent adding to the impression of careful preservation.

Accompanying the car is a history file containing its original Volkswagen book pack and owner’s manuals, alongside invoices documenting its maintenance. The most recent service invoice shows at 47,216 miles with the Corrado booked in for a further service and MOT prior to the auction. Overall, this appears to be a rather rare unmodified surviving example, which our vendor describes as running and driving well.

In summary, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a modern classic Volkswagen that remains instantly recognisable and widely appreciated. With its distinctive styling, sonorous VR6 engine and relatively low indicated mileage, the Storm makes an enjoyable car to own and a welcome addition to classic car events. With careful detailing, this example could be a particularly strong contender for concours or just enjoying as VW intended.
