It was most definitely a touch* more professionally built. Never made production, and remained a concept car (or cars? - it seems like there are others/replicas around, as well as the metallic green original one).

Yeah, either an FC or an FE: From what I gather, FCs had a small staright-lined chrome strip on the front fenders near the door gap instead of a "Holden" script as seen on FEs. If only the door wasn't open in the surfing photo. bunglebus and JeeExEll 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I`m right in saying that the Corsica was purchased from JDHT & running gear etc installed so it now works. I went to the JDHT museum several times when I worked at a Jag dealer, I particularly liked the XJ40 Coupe & estate concepts, such a shame they didn't make them to complete with Merc & BM.

ChinaTom Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 As far as I know it is still owned by them. It does run and infrequently attends shows. It is an adapted Audi hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quicksilver Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 IIRC the Corsica was built as a static show car but a few years later JDHT sent it to a specialist who made it roadworthy. It's definitely still owned by them and lives in the Collections Centre at Gaydon, and it and the XJ40 coupe and estate are my three favourite Jags there, all very elegant missed opportunities.

bunglebus Posted July 26, 2021 Author Share Posted July 26, 2021 Why, when Karmann went to the effort of making very nice MK1 Golf cabrios, would anyone create this?

AnthonyG Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 According to this, both from a specialist German converter named Bieber: https://www.lot-art.com/auction-lots/Volkswagen-Scirocco-GTI-Bieber-Cabriolet-1980/47470363-volkswagen_scirocco-27.5.21-catawiki The cuts into the Golf’s door frame look surprisingly amateur for a professional conversion that was presumably approved by the TuV, or whatever the West German equivalent was in 1980. bunglebus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
