When it comes to Volkswagens Beetles, Busses, Jettas, and Golfs, basically hog all the glory leaving the other models to fight among themselves for their recognition.
One model that doesn’t ever seem to get it’s fair shake is the Volkswagen Scirocco. I mean yes, the marquee was brought back in 2008 which means Volkswagen corporate does respect the name plate to some degree, but, but as cool as the third gens are they share the same down falls of all comeback cars. That is, much larger proportions than the original and laden with technology.
The MKI and MKII’s are the OGS and despite not being a bad looking car I really don’t see too many of them at shows or track events. Corrados had a shorter run than the Scirocco and though still rare they are significantly more common.
‘Rocco’s were overdue for a Theme Tuesday and today I’ll do my best to give them a fair shake.
This Scirocco, that I spotted earlier this year, is one of few I see semi regularilyThe car is clean throughout and the modifications have been done with restraintThis one comes via WoertherseePics I can’t quite tell if it’s got a Boser type hood or its just the angle of the photoIt is my understanding that the ‘TV’ headlights are rare and desirableThey really make quite a visual difference, the first time I saw a set I wasn’t quite sure what I was looking atI do believe this is the same car,albeit at a later stage, but I can’t be certainGreat looking engine bay in it tooI’ve had this photo saved for so long that I really don’t remember where it came from. I absolutely love the color combinationI wish I had more photos of this one kicking around but alasThe green, 3m scotch tape like, interior is love hate but I’m on the love sideI’m not huge on ‘Zero lip’ wheels but they do seem to work pretty well here – Photo: Rick BruinsmaOld photo, retro styled? Could go either way but the image size suggests old photo – Photo: Chris TweddleOne of the coolest things about Sciroccos is the variety of wide body kits that were available for them ‘back in the day’Ladislav Nagay managed to catch two widened Sciroccos in the same place – Photo: Ladislav NagayIt actually seems like Ladislav is part of, or has connections to, a Scirocco club – Photo: Ladislav NagayI quite like this one a lot. Be sure to check out all his work on flickr – Photo: Ladislav NagayThis local Zender kitted Scirocco is a pretty fild car
An Eaton M90 gives a bump in power under hoodThem hips don’t lie…There’s a thread on SStance Works dedicated to this car, the photography and car look great – Source: stanceworks.com/forumsSpotted at the same Vagkraft this Scirocco is purpose built
Purpose built cars seem to be a great way to end this post so I’ll close it with this and videos of two more – Photo: Roccobozo

That green scirocco is owned by a St. Catharines native by the name of Mikey Klammer. I’m sure he’s got instagram with plenty of photos.
