I got a message in the week from Dan - who was buying the Corrado Storm - saying that there was a change of plan! I feared the worse. Turned out he had his eyes on another project, yet he'd found another buyer for my car. The deal was him and his mate (also from the Corrado forum) would turn up and pay me the remaining money - and his friend would register the car in his name and the two of them would resolve the fact that they'd each paid a bit for the car between themselves.
So today (Friday evening) it all happened. They came over - checked the car over - paid the money - soretd out the V5 and away they went. They came in a Corrado VR6 anyway and departed in two Corrado VR6s!
The new owner - Ben - said he had plans for the car - when i pressed him about what they are he talked about a possible R32 conversion!! That sounded brilliant - would be great to follow someone doing that to your old car on forums - might end up in some VW performance magazine some day.
Just before they came to buy the car i took it out for spin. The handling is great, the noise from the car awesome, yet it doesnt have the same performance kick that the Fiat does - having a turbo adds a lot. I'm pleased with the sale.
Always sad to see a car like that go though.
