Only 500 Storms made, 250 In Mystic Blue and 250 in Classic Green. 10 of the 500 were autos, and given how many have been written off there aren't many left. Hence the price.

So you agree with the price on this one then?

Still given the above I think its still too much.

Depends on what you think something is worth? I wouldn't buy a corrado, they look gay, but my friend at work has a Mystic Blue storm and says he will never sell it. Cost him 13k 4 years ago.

IMO they were well ahead of there time in the looks and design department

Seen a purple one a while ago and it looked like a brand new car!

What are you on about way ahead of their time?!? Its a MK2 golf with different body panels! And the design? Its just a hatchback.
Future classic yes, but not because of its looks.

I could just never understand the point of the engine? either have a V6 or don't? Never mind shoe horning one into a tiny engine bay and have it further forward than the axel? I mean come on? Good thing the chassis is a touch of class or that thing would have been all over the shop!
G60, much better.

Scooby - more potential, makes a noise as good as the corrado, 4WD is always a laugh and 180BHP FWD is arse, more room in a scooby.....the list goes on....
