What extras were avaliable on the Euro Novas (corsa A's) I know that scandinavian ones had heated seats and headlight washers, but what about spanish/italian ones? i heard rumors that some of them came with aircon?
EPC doesn't list any aircon components.
Some had opening rear windows

In some countries they had iirc brown tinted windows, instead I the blue or green the uk had.
^ Bronze tint windows were avalible everywhere, execpt the UK lol incindently, tinted windows of any kind were only avalible on SR/SRi/GTE & GSi models & a minority of lower models as "added" bonus's thrown in by random dealers.

Air con. Really??
Some UK ones have opening rear windows aswell. Well, mine does ;) :p
AFAIK most EU countries didn't have the tin worm option, and in cases where they did it was not as strong as the UK variant.
There. Don't say we never get things they don't.

The word is i purchased said opening windows from Dec16v. I *think* they are bronze tinted, i havent unwrapped them as not fitting them just yet. Got all the fixings, seals aswell. Just need to cut slots for hinges.
:thumb: Good man. I was hoping you had made some mind! lol
Do the weather strips match your originals then?

most dutch nova's just have rust in the battery tray, engine bay, sills, doors and rear arches... not near the boor floor, thats something britisch lol
I'm sure I've seen UK cars with bronze tint windows too?
I do recall a thread where a scandinavian (?) Nova had some kinda OEM engine heater bolted on the front...

When you say weather strips, you mean the surrounds?

Ah righto. Nah, got the rubbers with the windows. Full set of fixtures and fittings FTW!

Correct, SR's and higher specced models like GL's etc were fitted with bronze tint upto the 87 Mk1 facelift then it changed to green tint.

I think the Haynes manual shows wiring for electric wing mirrors as well.
Also abroad SR's were called JoySports !! (useless bit of info!)

Hmm, I must have missed them. Wonder if you can still get the parts :D

Pearl is a middle class model, somewhere inbetween poverty and the likes of SRs etc, so had some of the added goodies.

On the sr snowploughs did they only have the spotlight attachment in europe( as on mayhems) or were they a uk extra aswell ?
my mums old C reg sr had a snowplough with square spotlights
iirc, the euro SR had the foglights, from '83 to about '85. after that the SR was called the GT and that one had the normal snowplough.

Fog lights could also be fitted to base models & the facelift Mk1 SR/GTE bumpers, if you look on the back you can see the cutting pattern on them. Over-riders were also available(Not washer type) for bumper mounted foglights.
Headlight wash was also available for facelift mk1, there is an under arch tank available for injection & diesel models.
Irmscher UK also sold the Webasto type fld back canvas roof, when I was looking for a Sport I found one in Sheffield with the roof fitted.
Passenger electric mirror was an option, I have one to go on my A reg SR.
The switch goes on the blank panel next to the headlight switch

Early SR models came with one of these tool kits in the boot(Same as a mk1 Astra GTE), this one was in my A reg SR.
