History
Registered by the supplying Volkswagen main dealer Sidlow Garages, Felbridge, West Sussex in April 1994, the car was supplied to its first private keeper Michael Murgatroyd in July 1994.
Murgatroyd an orthodontist and car enthusiast had been searching specifically for a Corrado VR6 in Satin Silver metallic with the optional black heated leather trim for some time and travelled from his home in Cheshire to view and buy the Corrado.
Murtgatroyd cherished the Corrado, maintaining the Volkswagen service history throughout his ownership and keeping the car in standard factory specification. In 2003 Michael finally accepted that Volkswagen were unlikely to launch a replacement sports coupe and following his retirement reluctantly decided to sell the Corrado.
I bought the car in 2003 and have tried to keep the car essentially a Classic Corrado,with a subtle OEM+ twist
