The VW Corrado was assembled by Karmann Coachworks from 1989 to 1995 and was the replacement and successor to the Scirocco. Its styling challenged the conventional aerodynamic trends of the time, and Volkswagen was pinning its hopes on the Corrado inspiring the market in much the same way as the Beetle had done. It was sold in Europe and North America, but disappointingly did not sell as well as Volkswagen envisaged, with the biggest criticism reserved for the G-lader (German for Supercharger) intercooled 1.8 inline 4 cylinder not performing to expectations. Only 97,521 were built in its seven year production run, compared to 291,497 series II Sciroccos. The Corrado’s limited production numbers make them difficult to find second hand, and in here in Australia, where they were never sold, almost impossible, but you can be lucky. John Camplin found his G60 Corrado online, a perfect example kept in great condition by its previous 'VW Nutter' owner. This was not John’s first Corrado, having owned three more prior to this while living in the UK, his native country. John loves the classic shape of the Corrado and fully appreciates what VW and Karmann were trying to achieve in the early 90s.
