Official? VW dealer catalogues?

Where can I get those from for the MK1, 2, 3, 4 and 5?

Post by: Ant1981 on 29 June 2011, 19:16: I actually wanted VR6 information. A friend has a VR6, says it's 170bhp and someone I knew had one that he says was 192, but some people say there wasn't one and others say there was.
My mum needs a car, so was thinking of getting her something that wouldn't matter if it got car park dings in it, yet would be fun, so I thought a VR6 might be the ticket.

Corrado vr6 was 190bhp.

I have loads of autocar magazines from early 1980 onwards so if you need any more figures ask away and I will see if I can find them.
