€20k or not, I think that Scirocco looks absolutely fantastic. Reminds me of the original I-Roc concept a few years ago, which was already a stunner...

Oh yeah, best looking veedub I've seen in years but he's in a world of his own at that price.

If it was an R, different story but it's still just a rep's car with Citroen suspension.

Are there many reps with Roccos? I thought all reps were in Insignias these days.

Renegade Mechanic · 03-03-2015 10:08pm

The only thing wrong with that car, is the price, imo

That's a damn fine reps car so...!

As said the price is obviously mad, but he's clearly trying to reclaim some of the mad money he probably put into it, can't blame him for that!

Just cut the back off me Corsa and drive through Halfords...now worth 4k

If you were that desperate for a Corsa pick up there is a real one made by Opel. There is also a Fiesta pick up called a bantam. I have never seen either in this country.

German, diesel, rep.
You can take that with a good pinch of salt. Haha

I don't think I've ever seen a Scirocco R, they're all 1.4 TSI or 2.0 TDI. I think our tax rates have something to do with it...

Personally, i wouldn't pay near his price it, but a standard 09 scirocco diesel could easily sell for €15k~ so he isn't a million miles off the mark.

Don't quote me on this but I've been told it adds a good deal of value.

I had a Scirocco R for a few months. They're 2.0 Turbo and Super charged. Serious car. Very quick. 252 BHP.

€5250 :eek: shhhhtap! half that, maybe. yeah, eg9 saloon, getting rare etc etc.

the reality of it is, it's pretty rough bodywork wise and i'd wager a fortnight ago it was slammed on coilovers with a set of chinese rep wheels.

at a distant glance it is an immaculate example but they didn't remove the skanger mods well enough to fool most i'd say.

MuppetCheck · 11-03-2015 5:51pm

Was that drivers seat originally a passenger seat in a 3 door?

Bpmull · 11-03-2015 10:33pm

Drivers seat looks stupid the way it doesn't match. The rear driver side wheel arch is bad enough too. Sounds like absolutely mad money although I'm not that up on what they make.

Toyotafanboi · 11-03-2015 10:58pm

the jap plates aren't fooling anyone, it's a UK car.

Damage to both rear wheel arches, both sides of the front bumper, look how out of line the boot is in the 3rd pic. imagine trying to find a matching original drivers seat (which i'm sure an enthusiast would want) etc etc.

i had no idea hub caps and a tape deck offered a 400% increase in price.

colm_mcm · 11-03-2015 11:02pm

It has the Ferio badges in the rear doors, a rear wiper, and is showing on motorcheck as not being a uk import though.

indeed the ferio and the brown glass had me thinking it was jap, but isn't eg9 a VTi model which is the UK version of an SiR? also has screw holes in the bumper from an oblong euro plate and UK wings with side repeaters. but it does have a flare in the footwell which is japanese, but then it looks like the lighting is on the left hand steering wheel stalk which is UK...

actually my head hurts and i'm not sure anymore. either way, madness. if i had 5k and i was a 90's honda enthusiast http://cars.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/honda-integra-type-r-uk-spec-%22/8443004

colm_mcm · 11-03-2015 11:20pm

That's the (rear) wiper stalk you're seeing there.

Its obviously been smacked at some stage. Wings don't match the doors

Do the ukdm models have thermostatically controlled aircon like that?

Toyotafanboi · 11-03-2015 11:40pm

genuinely i don't know,! i'd love to know it's background though

if cars could talk.

That is a jap import. The UK vti model had the Vin tag on the bulkhead behind the battery and came with different fabric on the seats. They didn't have a back wiper either. The screw holes from a previous plate is meaningless. Probably acquired those when it came into this country.
