Introduction
Jacob Boodrie
A modern classic with serious character, combining Volkswagen’s iconic VR6 engine with distinctive 1990s styling and engaging front-wheel-drive performance.
Introduced in 1988, the Volkswagen Corrado was developed as a more sporting and driver-focused alternative to the company’s established Scirocco. Built by Volkswagen’s performance-oriented Karmann division, the Corrado combined distinctive coupe styling with sophisticated engineering and a more focused driving character, quickly earning a strong reputation among enthusiasts.
The VR6-powered Corrado arrived in 1991, bringing Volkswagen’s innovative narrow-angle six-cylinder engine to the model. With its compact layout allowing six cylinders to be packaged into a relatively small engine bay, the VR6 delivered a distinctive soundtrack and smooth, muscular performance. Combined with the Corrado’s sharp handling, compact dimensions and unmistakable styling, the VR6 became the flagship of the range and remains one of Volkswagen’s most celebrated performance cars.
Today, the Corrado VR6 has become an increasingly appreciated modern classic, particularly as examples with genuine long-term ownership and a well-documented history become harder to find. Its combination of six-cylinder character, understated styling and usable everyday practicality gives it a strong appeal as both an enthusiast’s car and a distinctive 1990s classic. This example comes from almost 4.5 years with our vendor, who's father owned it since 2001.

I WANT ONEAsk Questions
Hi. Does the ABS light come on with the ignition and then go off after self check?
Also, have the brake pipes been replaced at any point?
Hi Yes the ABS light comes on with the ignition and stays on for a few seconds after its self-check it goes out and remains off.
I haven’t had the brake pipes replaced but if you see image 10 on the history picture gallery you will see information about what was done
Any other questions please ask.
Thanks Steve
Do the rear spoiler and sunroof work?
Yes they both work – spoiler operates on the button and also on the road at speed
Have you had it serviced since 2023?
No, however it’s done less than 100miles since – oil still golden on dipstick.
My benefit from an oil change due to age but I don’t do the mileage.
Thanks
During video noticed an oil leak or similar on the lower drivers side sump, has this been checked out? Thks
Hello… I have checked and there isn’t any signs of an oil leak from the top / engine bay – also not one drop on the floor where the car has been parked in the garage for years.
I would say this is old residual from a service that has not been cleaned off.
Any other questions or details please feel free to ask
Thanks Steve
Hello, has the car had any welding done underneath? Thank you.
Hello, no, it hasn’t under mine or my father’s ownership – and no signs previously either.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Many thanks
Steve
