Engine would have been from a kit car, but originally from a cav/astra/calibra, like any other C20XE.
I doubt it was even a Lotus Super 7, I don't think they ever used that engine.

bad bits
The hand brake cable needs replacing but will include one in the sale.
Surface rust around rear wiper
Small scuff on front lower spoiler
Small stone chips in front bumper
The speedo needle vibrates slightly at high speed
It says 2.2 on the tailgate but it isn’t.
The gauge that shows outside air temp doesn't always read correctly (not engine temp)
at least he knows it

Makes me laff when people with 2.0 Corsa's claim they blitz Evo & Impreza Turbo owners.
I had one and it was v fast but turbo fast it was not! In my experiance most scooby owners wont waste their petrol on a corsa anyway, and most are clever enough to realise if a corsa is having a go it is most likely LET'd.

I tell you what, I'll be impressed if he managed to get the gearbox (which would have been for an RWD car) in easily

IF and i say IF it was true.. why the fuck would you take an engine out of a lotus 7 and stick it in a fucking corsa to use on track?

even after all the bad comments i quite like it, its original and the boot looks quite good with the vinyl and badges.
he's made a shit advert with all the lies in it but respect for a new idea that looks good
