Some history on this 80 Storm which originally came with Black m L98F now a Brown colour, was shipped to Oakland, California in 2007. I first laid eyes on this Scirocco in Nov. 2008 at the Bonelli A1 gathering in southern California, but had been talking with owner of this Storm before he bought it on line on the VW vortex. We became friends after Nov 2008 and saw each other from time to time in California. This is the 2nd Storm he bought while in the UK, The 1st came from Northern Scotland a short time before this one, it was an 81 in brown L89P where the seats and door panels in this 80 came from, unfortunately the rest of this 81 was too far gone restore/save. I feel fortunate to have bought this Scirocco from a friend and to know most of its history since it left the UK in 2007. This Storm is original, expect for the pop up moon roof (was already installed on it when it was purchased in Wales, 2006), the exterior paint colour and the seats and door panels. The motor is the original EG and I plan be restore it during the restoration of this Storm. I purchased this 80 Storm last Octocter (2013), after it had been moved from California to Massachusetts, but it took a year to arrange pick up of it, I'm glad the previous owner is a friend

The pick up of this Scirocco, I flew from Florida to Manchester, New Hampshire on 4 Nov 2014 where there owner of this Storm picked me up and drove me to his house in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. It was good to see my friend again since it had been awhile we last met, I stayed the night at his place and the next morning we got a Uhaul truck and trailer and loaded up the Storm, did this because it does not currently run. Next drove to New Jersey to stay the night at another friends house who has an 80 Scirocco, only stayed there one night. Next day got back on the road with a stop Philadelphia, PA (did not stay there just drove threw it). The next night stop was in Maryland where the Storm is now. Moving this car was uneventful except for the rain all day on Thursday the last leg of the trip.
