Will keep my eye out then. I think towards the end of last year I saw about 3 or 4 mk1 storms go up for sale, and haven't seen a single one since!

Would it be sacrilege to go with a black leather interior...? as I'm not 100% fussy about originality, but I do prefer the black leather of the series 1 storm.

I'm a terrible person I know... haha

I'd agree with that - the blue leather was never to my taste to be honest.

If I had an open cheque book, I'd have gone for corrado recaros re-trimmed in black half leather and grey or blue alacantra centres.
New black carpet from Newton Commercial to match and a dark grey headliner... :chill:

You can re-dye the leather to black ( has been done by one of the scirocci here in Melbourne) looked good to last time i was over that side of the country.

Recaro do foam and seat wires also ( google )

Car looks great mate :hugegrin:


If it aint a MK 1 then it must be a donor

It has been lowered since, not a silly amount, just enough to put about an inch or so between the wheels and the arches... If that makes sense...
