Can anyone shed any light? Doesn't seem to be a very common car. Stuey was going on about finding keys to it in a lolly jar, while baggin' out an old man.

A Scirocco was a sort of sports version of a Golf not a Passat. The first version was built and I think designed by Karmann but the second version was designed by VW. The second version was a more rounded off. They were available as a GTI as well.

The Scirrocco was a very nice looking front wheel drive fastback sort of design... they were designed as a successor to the Karmann Ghia. 馃檪
