or maybe a gsi lump was put in a gte shell gte engine could have blown up and the only engine they could get was a gsi
dont forget the change over year was on the h plate so could of been a mk1 left over and unsold, hence it got its registration when sold a year later :?

true! could be!
Hence there are L reg Nova's and K reg Corsa's popping around!
But that is the first J plate with Mk1 face I have ever seen

Well I'll say one thing about it, it's not worth ?1.8k......
thats odd, then again,sat at my vauxhal dealers forecourt in lincoln is a corsa B 1400 sport, in arden blue, on an 02 plate,so I suppose it could be true :)

could just have been a misprint or someone who doesn't know what car they had.
but if it was a misprint etc etc then why does it look like a j in the photo lol

J reg 1.2i with Mk1 bumpers or something? Could even be nicked with a different plate (not likeley though)? I dunno. Just doesn't seem right thought does it somewhere along the line. If it wasn't a bit strange then it wouldn't be on here. :?
maybe because your old and going blind ;) lol
i recon its jsut due to the change over years i mean ive got a mk2 H plate and ive seen H plate Mk1's.
these things happen when dealers and manufacturers get lazy at the end of a run

If it is because of the change over of years, then surely they would have still named it a nova GTE? not GSI?

if you want to find out for certain what it is, why not just phone the company and ask?!?!
i know what it is - fucking dodgy lol
as said it would be a 'GTE' not 'GSI' if it was on a late plate
if its a 1992 then its a really late J? GTE was only 88-90 anyway, so you can see some 91 registered ones coming through but this is sketchy
someone phone them up and ask for more details i.e. catalytic converter!
