NOW ON EBAY!!
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250727854307&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT
I am selling my much loved and cherished Vauxhall Corsa as my girlfriend and I have recently had a baby girl and have bought a Vauxhall Astra 5 Door to cope with the daily commutes  I can no longer afford or have the room to keep both cars so am very unfortunately having to sell my corsa.
I have had the car around 5, 6 years now and have always had regular service intervals and wash/polish it at least once or twice a week! thats alot of washing in 5 years!! The paintwork of the car in general is in excellent condition apart from a few minor rust spots or stone chips which are all described below in the Bad Bits section of the advert. The worst part about the car is the front drivers side wing and arch where i had a small accident last year, just i haven't had the funds to get it re-sprayed but there is a new wing on there and Home painted black so looks good still as it is.
I have done A LOT of work to the car since owning it and have basically replaced just about everything on the car, Front end especially.
The car has done 142,087 miles but has had a full respray and polishes up really well. However the millage is pretty irrelevant due to just about everything being changed! Anything that has needed changing on the car has been and is completely free from faults apart from the tracking will need re-doing on the front wheels as i remember it puling to the left slightly but is not a big issue and can still be driven fine! I never had any problems, Also I remember the speedo started to stop working which i have been told is just a little electric sensor in the gearbox that can be picked up and fitted for around 30 quid.
The car has the following spec:
Engine
Vauxhall Calibra 2.0 16v engine (C20xe) powder coated white with red spark plug cover
2.0 16v Gearbox to match the engine
Mtech Engine Mounts, Gearbox Mount, Drive Shafts and Mtech Hubs
Power Cap color coded RED
Pipercross Viper, Carbon Fibre Enclosed Forced Air Induction
3.0 Bar FPR and 3.0 Bar Fuel Injectors
Engine was re-built before i bought it and fully re-furbed.
Pulls like a dream Very Very quick even in low rev range
With the above modifications to the engine i estimate that the power be around 170BHP which makes for a very nippy car.
Suspension
TA Technix (German Imported) Fully Adjustable (Ride Height And Camber) Front Coilovers
TA Technix Ride Height Adjustable Rear Suspension and New rear beam bushes.
Brakes
2.0 16v Front Disc Brakes
Drilled and Grooved Discs for maximum stopping power
Standard Rear Drum Brakes which are in very good condition
Bodywork
Has had Previous Full Body Respray (Vauxhall Gloss Black)
Front and Rear Reiger RS Aprons Smoothed into the bumper
Custom Side Skirts Smoothed into arches
Semi Smoothed Boot Lid with boot popper inside car
Smoothed Fuel Filler Cap
Standard Smoked Headlights
Colour Coded; Arhces, Roof Rails, Door Handles, Scuttle Pannel, Washer Jets, Everything on the car is Color Coded Gloss Black
Brand New Autoglass fitted Front Anti UV-Glare WindowScreen
Anti UV-Glare Side and Rear Windows
Interior
Standard Facelift Sport Interior
Sri Front Seats In Very Good Condition
Momo Competition Steering Wheel
Sparco Gear Knob
Wheels And Tyres
Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.0 x 4
2x Brand New Front Tyres ( Toyo Proxes 4 )
2x Very Good Condition Rear Tyres ( Kumho Ecsta Sport )
The car also comes with 2 6x9 Pioneer Speakers in the parcel shelf, 2 standard front door speakers and tweaters also a Kenwood CD Player/Radio (not the best CD player but not into my audio as much as the performance of a car!)
The car has the standard fitted Vauxhall Alarm and imobiliser
Bad Bits 
Off-side front wing needs re-spraying
Off-side front arch and mirror needs replacing or fixing
Front bumper needs repairing/painting on off-side
Rear bumper needs fixing as the exhaust has melted a bit of it when it came unfixed
Speedo not working needs a new sender or fixing
As all xe engines its tappy when cold but once warmed up runs like a dream with no noise/smoke etc! I have been told it could be sorted with thicker grade of oil.
Front brake pads low and needs new ones as a matter of urgency although the brakes obviously still do stop the car
Cooling fan doesnt come on need to wire in a switch as the loom for the engine doesnt have a plug for the fan switch
Small rust spot on bonnet which can be seen in the pictures
All the above can be fixed with very little needed spending on the car.
I am after offers in region of £1200 for the car as im sure you can see from the spec and how tidy it is makes it pretty cheap!
The engine, conversion parts and all work involved in fitting it cost me around £1500.
Car currently has NO tax on it And has MOT untill 18th January 2011.
The Car is still currently registered as a 1.4 16v so is down to the new keeper to change this over to the new engine spec if they wish to. Obviously cheaper tax and insurance if not done.
Im sure ive prob missed loads of info out about the car so feel free to ask questions and or come have a look and hear her running (Will need to be arranged prior to viewing as work long hours) I will not be able to offer a test drive of the car only down to having No Tax and Also No Insurance on the car. If the buyer has or can get hold of Trade Plates this is more than welcome.
If you need to contact me or arrange a viewing please send me a u2u and I will get back to you asap.
