The 1990s saw a shift in the coupe market, prioritizing comfort over performance. However, the Volkswagen Corrado, particularly the VR6 model, stood out as a driver-focused exception, inheriting the spirit of the Scirocco and enhancing it. This 1992 VW Corrado VR6 Campaign edition exemplifies this performance heritage, representing a rare and meticulously restored piece of automotive history.
The Unique VW Corrado Campaign
The VW Corrado Campaign is an exceptionally rare model. Only six were produced in 1992 as part of a dealer incentive program, and only four are known to exist today. Awarded to top-performing dealerships, these special edition Corrados featured unique paint, wheels, and trim not found on standard VR6 models. This particular example, originally awarded to the Dovercourt dealership in St. John’s Wood, even retains its original tax disc. This makes it a highly sought-after collector’s car.
A Concours-Level Restoration
This 1992 VW Corrado VR6 Campaign underwent a comprehensive two-year restoration. The process involved sourcing rare and often unobtainable new old stock (NOS) parts from around the globe. Bills from renowned Volkswagen specialist JMR confirm the extensive work undertaken. The result is a car presented in concours condition.
The dark metallic purple paintwork is stunning, complemented by flawless panel fit and refreshed alloy wheels. The terracotta interior is equally impressive, with lightly patinated seats and a pristine dashboard, door cards, and carpet.
Mechanical Excellence
Beyond aesthetics, the mechanical components received meticulous attention. Parts were stripped, cleaned, powder-coated, and often replaced with NOS items. The engine itself was completely rebuilt using numerous new parts and is currently being run in. This ensures not only a beautiful showpiece but also a car ready to be driven and enjoyed.
A Collector’s Dream
This 1992 VW Corrado VR6 Campaign presents a unique opportunity for discerning collectors. Its rarity, combined with the exceptional quality of the restoration, makes it a significant addition to any modern classic car collection. This is a chance to own a piece of Volkswagen history, a car that embodies the performance spirit of the Corrado VR6 and represents the pinnacle of 1990s driving excitement.
