Been on the site for a while, and was just wanting to compare the different types of corsa's we get over here in SA to the ones you have in The united land of great british...something or other..
We of course get the corsa GSi 1600 8v
Also comes in the same shape, just different mags and without the leather seats in a, 1.3i, 1.3is,1.6i and a 1.6is versions
We have another one called the corsa lite they are still making these, (as far as i know we are the only country still making brand new corsa's and golf mk1's) the joys of being third world hey
Then the old shape corsa bakkies
And the new shape corsa bakkies (excuse the crap pic)
I have noticed that your Corsa C comes in a two door model, ours only comes in 4 doors

odd how you still get a 1300 corsa, and we had 1200 and 1400's instead
i take it you never had the pleasure of a 1litre 12v corsa?

They ones they are still making are now 1400's
My car is a 1998 model and is a 1300.
And i thought my car was slow, 1litre must be a snail!
