Try taking a look in 'Demo' or 'StoneyGinger' galleries. Rio Verde Green cars...
The 1.6 Sport never had a different bodykit like the GSi did -- so to be honest it will look just like any other 1998/99 Corsa B with a rear spoiler...
And as said there is no S plate GSi -- he might have just stuck the badges on though

No one would do an engine conversion (no point really)... but they might have stuck a GSi bodykit on it -- in that case deffo look at StoneyGinger's garage as he had a GSi lookalike in Rio Verde Green...

I'd say a 1.6 Sport on S plates is probably a bit cheap at £2k
Get it's history checked -- might have been in an accident...

Ask them to see a copy of the HPI check if they are the ones who did it, if they can't, then ask them to get one & show it to you, you should then be able to ring up the company who did the check & just confirm the details with them for free
