There was a rumour, mostly purported by late-B SXi owners, that they run-out models got the C engine.


Everyone I know who got it RR'd got 75 bhp. Me, OJC, Sxi-Boy and some others at the time ...

Vauxhall decided against the name 'Corsa' given by Opel when the car was first launched and decided on 'Nova' instead.
With the introduction of the 2nd generation Corsa B however, Vauxhall changed their mind and went with the name.
