Am thinking of buying a corsa. Maybe even a B. Not sure about the C, could be an option though. Deffo not a D.

Does anyone still drive a redtop B? Are the parts and tuning quite cheap?

The idea is to get something to drive to work for a while. A discovery is proving hard to find and I'm not keen on the driving experience.

Quite fancy something that isn't too precious or stiff and low. Almost thinking a rally style corsa b. But not obvious looking. Can you get suspension and components that are more rally orientated?

Hardly any corsa B's within 20miles of me.

Are they hard to find now?

Too sporty for the roads around office, its ridiculous. Massive holes and funny cambers everywhere.

I would be fine if asking about smoked headlights imo, plenty of advice to be had.
