Had this idea in my head for a while. I want to rescue them all as they're getting rarer. My plan is to buy anything that comes up cheap and store and fix them up long term.
Just need premises and a business model to fund it. We've sold enough pizza for a single car garage this month but I was thinking about something a bit more flash. Like with a reception and coffee machine or something.
Then if we have a little mezzanine office we can fill it with office birds to answer the phone and do pass resets.
Are you in

Or you could rescue and rehome them?
I.e send the red one my way?

Red one is going for MOT Friday.
I would sell it for offers but you'll probably need to sign something promising that you won't strip it 
It's still a bit tatty up close, bit of rust on the door and the polishing job isn't finished. And the wing mirrors are hand painted. But it's all fixable on the cheap cheap.

If it was Nova GSi I'd be in, but the Corsa is going through the phase the Nova did where people don't realise what exactly they are selling and eventually there will be a time when a decent Corsa GSi will be worth a premium.
Although the Nova is a lot more special than the Corsa

exactly why now would be a good time to buy and restore then sell on when people realise how good they are

can i have some of what you have been smoking?
Sounds great but the costs would be for no return, other than to say "Look what corsasport owns/is doing!" If you was making up corsa bits (repair panels as well as custom bits) and having the GSi's as a side bit, would be nice but for all the hassle, expense and effort, is it really worth it for something that your wait 20 years for it to be worth money.

maybe you could get inspiration from the Karmann museum, they have a few corrados there, magic ones like the 16v G60
