Hi all,

The time has come for a friend of mine to sell his corsa..... Im sure some of you may have seen his recent ad's or seen the car at shows in the past. Imo this is a very well built subtle car which If I had the cash Id buy myself! Please contact Charlie under the username (GSI160) for any more details.

Since I have owned the car it has undergone the following modifications listed below including a full bare shell respray.

The car has been built to the highest standards with a lot of attention to detail.
I have used it as my every day car as well as a show car; this has proved that it is very reliable.

I have the Dyno printouts to prove the power figures stated below, these were done at "The Racing Line Halifax."

As a sensible option!

Please note this is not your usual thrown together conversion on a driveway.

The pictures for this advert were from the Mag photo shoot,
The car hasn't changed much since then but may not be just as clean etc!!!As its been in daily use for nearly two years since then.

Thanks for looking.
