Pics: Volkswagen Scirocco - Team-BHP

Gordon · 10th June 2005, 18:58

VW Scirocco GTi in Inorbit basement.
No, its not modified. Its just the way it is.
I think it has a 1.8L inline four cylinder engine producing around 110 bhp.

Nice find. There is another black Scirocco that stands on S.V Road near Jogeshwari.

Stratos · 10th June 2005, 19:12

The bumpers dont look stock. There is something wierd about the skirts too. I dont think even the GTi had those.

iceman91 · 10th June 2005, 20:37

yes..agree with stratos...something amiss about the bumpers...

This car belongs to a famous vintage car collector from South Bombay. He had been trying to sell it off for a long time, as I guess it just didn't fit in with the rest of his collection.

Last i saw it it was in miserable condition with plexiglass windows and the interior was a mess. Good to see its been restored now.

Nothing wrong with the car people just that he is running it on really really tiny wheels.........looks like 13"ers...whereas the GTi runs on 16"ers and much thicker rubber.......
@ Gordon howcome the car looks so clean in the big picture an dirty in all the thumbnails??? methinks its the use of forced flash...wat say??

You're right, the car is not modified. Its just that its running on very small wheels/tyres and I think its tooo inside, maybe because the tyre width is too less.

Maybe.
In the first pic, I didn't use flash and kept the shutter open for about 1-2 seconds.
In the other pics, the shutter was at 1/40 and full flash was used.

I think the car will look smashing with 17"ers and Goodyear F1 Eagles!!!!
