EXTERIOR
First edition Storm. Released in August 1979. This car is finished in Silbergrun (Silver green) metallic, paint code L99N. Power came from the 110 bhp 1.6i engine of the GLI, code EG. Other than the deep Zender spoiler (part No. 531 800 707 B) fitted to the front and the unique colours, there was little externally to distinguish the Storm from other Sciroccos of the era. That said, it was such a good looking car in the first place, why ruin it? The Storm was the only Scirocco to have the passenger side door mirror. This was adjustable from the inside. 5.5x13 alloys are the same as on a GLS. 175/70x13 tyres were fitted.
The first batch of Storms were also available in this Schwarz (Black metallic) finish, paint code L98F.A pinstripe was included on each side.
Re-issue Storms of 1980 had multi spoke 13" alloy wheels fitted that were also used on some series 2 Passats. Colour choices were now Noisette brown metallic L89P or Hellblau (light blue) metallic LK5Z. UK Sciroccos were of a high specification compared to the rest of Europe. The basic GLS had most options as standard, the Storm took this a step further with the leather trim. Bronze tinted glass was standard. The UK list price for the Mk1 Storm when new was £6,687.
