Hello All,

Time has come to sell my Vauxhall Corsa 1.8 SRi Corsa C. I have owned the car for nearly 2 years now and has only cover 18K miles from new. When I bought the car, it had only done 4200 miles and was a year old so it is WELL under mileage for what it should be. The car is on a 03 plate and was purchased from Picador Vauxhall in Southampton.

The car has a FULL Vauxhall Service history and is mechanically sound. My car has never broken down, nor has it never started. There is no problems with the tyres and the other usual maintenance checks have been carried out on a weekly basis.

The car is cleaned most days, polished and sealed most weeks. Under the engine is the cleanest I have personally seen on a C and under the arches / under the car is no different. Some days I would spend hours just cleaning it. For me it has been a hobby.

Ok that's the boring stuff.

Since owning the car a lot of exterior parts were swapped over from my previous 1.2 SXi.. I then modded the 1.8 SRi more to what it is today. There are lots of custom and unique things on my car which just cannot be bought.. Brembo 320mm brakes, custom carbon fibre covers, custom ICE install,, custom retrim etc etc.. I have spent well over 20K I should think on modding my car alone.. Add this to the 9K I paid for the car and things start adding up...

I would prefer to sell the car complete and with all mods attached.. It is going to gut me to see someone else in my pride and joy, however time has come for me to move on to bigger things. After all, I have been in Corsa's for the last 4 years now.

Obviously with 29K spent I am not going to give the car away and if people think the price is high / stupid then I would appreciate if they just kept that to themselves. If I do not get any offers then I will think about putting the car back to standard and selling the bits off...

Anyhow the car's spec :-

Here is a sneak peak



The only mods missing from the above pics are my recent retrimmed head lining, A, B and C pillars.

I would like 11K for the car. That includes the 7K's worth of ICE, and ever other extra..

The car is ready for veiwings now, however I am not in a rush to sell it for stupid money.. I am willing to wait for the right buyer who is going to look after the car.

Best way to contact me is via msn / u2u

I hope you get for it what your after but I've got a feeling you will regret spending £29k on a Corsa in a few years time.

Nice car though, and if you find someone else who is as obsessed/interested in clean cars then I suppose they will be getting a bargain.

I won't regret spending the money on it.

I am glad I did. I set out to create a quality car and I think I have.

Yea £29K could of got me an awesome car.. but nothing as unique and as well done as mine imo.
