Pirelli & Scirocco the end of an era
wigit:
i thought after 2 years and 11 months this thread was due an update
my wife sold the Pirelli exactly 6 years to the day she picked it up
what an amazing car and will be missed just for what it was, used as a daily it racked up 85,000 miles, hardly any warranty work and only an upgraded clutch and replacement low pressure fuel pump and so much more of a car than the scirocco
it still felt special and remained fun to drive and i have had a huge grin trying and failing to keep up with the R whilst driving this
it won't be appearing on forums and i do have the first refusal on this to buy it back as we just didn't have the space to keep it, it is being replaced by a second R, this time night blue more door on 18s with dsg and a few bits
i will leave you with the parting shots after Detail My Ride gave it a makeover
Tortaruga:
Lovely car. :smiley:
Saw one a while ago in a hospital car park, same colour as yours. It was evidently well used and non-enthusiast owned. Alloys massively curbed and paint shockingly scratched. Still caught my eye though!
Dave J:
Looks like it's done at least half the miles you mention!
Lovely car - I tried one absolutely identical to yours before my ED30. Liked the Pirelli a lot more in person than in pictures, and the rarity factor is pretty cool. Think I have only ever seen one Pirelli on the road.
Just another Golf to everyone else, eh...?!
Do you reckon Pirelli's will keep their value more than any other mk5?
