I think I know the car. It was on Pistonheads for a while, its in Scotland. I haven't seen the car, though. I was after it too, but I couldn't justify a 5th car. Now I have the space, the ad's gone…. so I assumed someone bought it.

lovely cars. i actualy like them a bit more than the golf. values are so hard to pin down on something like that. most watercooled vw fans are more golf orientated, so there is a larger market to sell to. the panels could well be a problem, but most of the parts are as easy/hard to source as the mk1 golf. what sort of money are they asking for it?

The Mk1 Scirocco Storm was indeed a rare and special car. Unlike the MK1 Golf Campaign (which was not that much better equipped than the equivalent non-Campaign, all told) it had leather upholstry and exclusive colours, making it desirable in its time. And they definitely kept it as a limited production numbers car.
Unfortunately, later on the marketeers cottoned on to this and devalued the name a bit, by doing a Mk2 Scirocco Storm and a Corrado Storm too.

my apologies, the figure of 300 storms was for mk2s

You could still have it, if you gazump me and offer more than I've offered. I've put a cheque in the post as a deposit but that's not a given, it could still fall through for me. In fairness, I was looking at the car over a month ago and it was just circumstances at the time which prevented me buying it then.

The Scirocco storm is aesthetically more pleasing that the mk1 golf. I had one of these is the 80?s and got so carried away with the revving that I blew up the engine on the m25, the engine made an almighty bang in the outside lane of the motorway. It's one of my all time favorites.
You?ve got yourself a cheap one :wink:

Exactly!
He also mentioned that you were seeking a part ex, versus me paying cash. I explained that I'd seen being discussed on a forum and I have given him every opportunity to still show you the car, possibly do a deal, and tear up my cheque. Its up to the seller, not me, by no means is the car mine yet. So I don't feel guilty at all about this!
