Along with a membership card you will also receive an annual club magazine called 'The Sprinter'. This Sprinter magazine (which takes it's name from the origins of the word Corrado) is a colour supplement containing information about previous and forthcoming club events, articles written by members, varied technical tips, and advertisements for parts wanted or for sale.

The club offers a 'Tech Know' service where Corrado experts and other Tech Know team members will endeavour to answer your questions for you.

Do I have to own a Corrado?

No you don't!

One of the original premises of the club was that members didn't have to own a Corrado to join. This not only enables prospective owners the ability to obtain advice about what to look out for when buying a Corrado etc, it also allows anyone with an interest or passion in the car to become a member whatever their circumstances.

History of CCGB

The club was officially formed on 21st January 1996 at the Gateway Hotel, Nottingham. It originally started life as the 'Corrado Register'. It's aim was to catalogue details of as many UK Corrado's (and their owners) as possible - quite an ambitious task, given that there were over 9,000 of them! News spread by word of mouth, contacts at VW shows, articles in VW Motoring, etc. It soon became clear that a viable club could be formed concerning all aspects 'Corrado'. The VW Corrado Club of Great Britain was born!

The first club meeting attracted 22 Corrado's and their owners. Afte a photo-shoot for VW Motoring and VW/Audi Car magazines, a brief address was given by guest speakers Robin Wager and Paul Harris (editors of the above two magazines). The serious business of forming the club then took place. This included the election of committee members, discussion of Club rules, and the level of subscription fees.
