I don’t know why, but I’ve always been a little embarrassed when people ask me what car I started my VW days with. It was, as you probably guessed, a Mk2 Scirocco. For the Anoraks among you, it was a 1988 1.8-litre Scala model finished in Sapphire Metallic with Dove Grey seats… and I loved it.
Okay, if I’m honest, I originally bought the car because I couldn’t get insured on a Mk1 Golf GTI (due to six points on my license) and I couldn’t afford to purchase a newer Corrado (due to the fine I received with said six points). It didn’t take me long to become hooked on Mk2 Sciroccos, though. I’d already started reading this very magazine and loved the dare-to-be-different cars it featured, especially the handful of Mk2 Sciroccos.
For some reason, we’ve probably featured less than a dozen Mk2s since the magazine was launched way back in 1996. I’m probably going to get lynched for saying this, but the majority of people (not all) that choose to enhance the classic coupe seem to have questionable taste. Thankfully, the car we’ve come to talk about today, couldn’t be more on point. Is it the best looking Mk2 ’Rocco to grace these pages? Well, let’s take a closer look…
