View Full Version : My new Gsi , only been waiting ten years !
Well i wanted to start a thread on this a while ago but i was waiting until the car arrived at mine before opening my mouth and jinxing the deal lol
Ive known the owner of the car for ten yrs plus now and have begged her to sell it to me so many times its untrue, well she finally gave in and has let me buy her car.
The car has been away for a long time but was fully restored years ago and put back into storage where its been since except the odd show back in early 2002/3 iirc
The car is a silver L registered gsi reg L26 LUM and has just been delivered to my house tonight, to say im chuffed is a understatement lol, tried to take pics but its too dark so i will get them tommorow as i have the day off !
:d :d :d
Nice one mate, there's a couple of genuine minters near me that the owners don't want to part with, a guy not far away has a really clean 100% original nova gte in black.
Look forward to some pictures of it, I guess they give in eventually lol

Right,this is really exciting and impressive,BUT the way you and Joe Richardson went on about "this secret" is that it was something ultra rare and epic.
To be then presented with a Nova GSi was somewhat disappointing lol lol
Really though,im glad youre happy with it,its a good feeling getting one youve been after for a while.......
Ha really special??why do you know of a few l reg gsi models that i dont ?? Muppet lol

Agreed though, no nova is "amazingly unbelievably special" imo.
If you put up a rs500, or a mk1 escort then yeahlol
So...you sold a mint GSi to buy another??? Whos the muppet?
i bet there are very very very few silver L reg gsi novas actually made never mind still about, defo got to be more Sports than l reg silver gsi novas, it might not mean much to some but then again what so good about a C reg 1.3 base nova with stickers?
( not a dig cheif just my view :thumb: )
Ha really special??why do you know of a few l reg gsi models that i dont ?? Muppet lol
So because nobody wanted to buy it at the time and it eventually got sold and got registered late its better than another???

Mine is a 93, had it been later it would have been an L. Maybe. I dont get a stiffy over it!
lol i sold a mint gsi to buy another mint gsi that i believe is rarer as its a l plate silver one, correct me if im wrong but i havent seen another?
The majority of gsi novas are now redtops or turbos etc hence why i am looking to keep the car a 1.6 and as i bought it.
I never said it was that special you should piss your pants but im happy knowing i had two of the cleanest unmolestered gsis in the country on my drive.

Well, i guess as long as you are happy that is all that matters. Enjoy!
Here Here, quite right w88rdy. If your happy then thats all that matters, whats important to you isnt always going to be as important to anyone else but then thats what makes us all different :d
I Like, nice buy :thumb:
I havent said anyting derogeratry (sp) about it,only that the way the "special one" was being spoke of it was disappointing to just see a late registered Nova.
The car looks in cracking condition and silver is indeed rare.
What i was trying to point out was just because of the 1st letter of its reg plate,it does not make it special..hell if my 86 Antibes were registered on an L would it command the same respect? would it fukk,its just another Nova that was sold late,thats all.
Like i say,nice car and i hope you enjoy it,nowt funny or personal intended mate.

18-02-11, 07:44 PM
very nice mate
Ok then,how many Y plates are there?????
Again,it makes no relevance what plate they are,as long as theyre enjoyed owning,looking after and most important driving.
An original Gsi is something id love to have,but i wouldnt care whether it were H or L reg or owt in betweeen.To me its just a Nova Gsi,nowt more,nowt less.
Cassidy16v
18-02-11, 07:49 PM
Fair enough mate
Tbh i could of bought a y plate , a sport or a different plate gsi etc etc , but this is what I like, nothing more nothing less , i thought people might like to see the car and make nice comments about it but apparently not??
Maybe next time someone shows there nice xe nova gsi i should say 'nice gsi but redtops are everywhere so you shouldnt have bothered' or maybe nice antibes but its a waste of a good donor shell lol
Anyway im happy so enough said lol

Lol if they had wheelbase wouldnt of made so much cash from them lol
Edd, the condition is near on the same the red one was mint anyway,and i only bought it because the owner of the silver one pulled out of a previous deal,then she decided to sell again and i decided it was the one i wanted to keep forever, result for me i think.:thumb:

Very nice, I remember seeing it trax back in the early naughties.
Got to say I prefer the red one though..
Yes mate i fancied one to work on as these two are already finished pretty much
she's a beaut mate, i liked your red one but this is a bit better.
what's going on with the boot stickers?
square old type vauxhall badge?
anyway look after it
should have talked her round to keep both
i'm keeping my GSI and SR :thumb: lol

The boot sticker is correct i believe mate, because the engine has the bosch airflow meter like a early setup so the car was just registered later on.
i may be wrong but i can soon take it off anyways lol
Tbh i wanted to sell one as ive no more space due to having 4 other cars already!

Yes mate was sad to see red one go today but its gone to a good home,lad was a nice guy who has the same interests as us and wants to preserve the car and just use for show use etc etc.
Im happy with it for now, going to bring it to the shows this year and then get improving bits and bobs

so its a E16SE engine not a late coil pack C16SE engine like mine
its been built 1991 ish and put on the road in 1993
make's it a L REG.
which mean's it should have the square vauxhall badge and no
vauxhall written on the offside of the boot vinal
STATTO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EITHER WAY MATE SHE'S A BEAUT

Yes stu i think thats correct, so are my stickers correct then? STATTO???

thats a really nice gsi you have mate, look after it!!
Thats looks really sweet mate, don't take this the wrong way but I really think you should ditch the speedlines, everywhere you look at car shows its gsi's with speedlines and tbh a gsi that clean and original really needs the original 3 spokes.
Looks like a good purchase, as regards the whole plate thing, I think its cool as it was probably one of the last sold.
yes mate correct for the build date/engine but not for the plate
but which way do you want it??????????
Well you cant choose when it was bulit can you, i want the car to be as it should be so the build date goes with the engine etc etc.
So the stickers are staying, the v5 says the rest ! L reg is a cool touch for me and i love 6 digit plates as well.:thumb:
un molested tut tut tut i spies speedlines and an exhaust :p
Lol looks good mate

I have a set of original three spokes and centres for the car as well already to go on depending on my mood, but tbh there wasnt as many speedlines about at the shows last year on the png stand etc as i thought tbh.
The v6 brakes might cause me a few issues though with the wheels lol
got any plans apart from cleaning and sitting in it :d
have you any more photo's
interior and under bonnet?
No plans really, going to make it cleaner under the bonnet etc etc, this ones staying for a long time! I will post more pics up over the weekend mate once i get it back out of the garage.

Very tidy mate, sounds like u have similar plans to what I have for my GSi, keep her more or less standard and enjoy it the way it was intended when new.
Looks cracking mate,
I wouldn't worry about the stickers, mine is a 91 H reg with the round sticker and no vauxhall sticker and siemans ecu with Lucas dizzy lol
I know this to be correct for my car as it was a demonstrator when new at a Glasgow dealership,
wish mine looked like that again.

Ive seen the car before, did the owner use to use the forums? LregGSi or something?
Does look very nice mate, do still like the mk2 GSi's but i think Ive been turned, as i truly love my mk1 more then i ever did my GSi, i don't think i could own one to use as a daily car, or a 2nd fast car, as I'm guilty of XE'ing my first nova, and that was a J plate Silk violet GSi, but it was too slow as a 16se, it rotted away in the end lol
BUT it does look very nice, so I'm guessing the reason is you want to create/own a TOTALLY standard and uncommon GSi?
Scott
Nice car;):thumb:
Did that used to be Jason Husdon's who used to do the technical stuff for the old school PNG???:confused:

I was thinking it was his because it was a long time ago that some of them pics were taken at Billing and his was the only silver L reg one i had seen back then
Jason Hudsons was a diffrent car to this one, im sure ive got a pic of them both together on my laptop.

Not if it's a late registered 1991 model.
It should look like my original 1991 GSi.

Very nice. glad to see a standardish car that will be kept that way.
At least all these XE conversions are pushing up the value of the proper Novas out there eh lol ;)
If you want to confirm the build date of the car then have a look at Duicks VIN explanation....
http://www.opel-corsa-a.com/index_e.php?seite=Fahrgestell_e.htm
Thanks novasport, i will have a look later at that :thumb:
It's not on its original number plate. Do you have any paperwork showing the original? If you do I can look on EPC and see the build info :)
Looks sweet mate, wish i still had one.
My GSi was a mid '93 with multec injection (correct me if i'm wrong)
http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm291/malt1977/Cars/3fd2924c.jpg
Ignore the plates as they all start with a J in Jersey.
Yep, the multec system was used on the C16SE which all of the later GSi's had.
It's not on its original number plate. Do you have any paperwork showing the original? If you do I can look on EPC and see the build info :)
That is the number plate on all the history etc etc, it has had a private reg on at some point in its life though.
EPC can search number plates ;) Mine is there as are others I looked at. Yours isn't couple with the 2 digit number leads me to think, that isn't the original issued plate.
EPC can search number plates ;) Mine is there as are others I looked at. Yours isn't couple with the 2 digit number leads me to think, that isn't the original issued plate.
It'll still be at least an L-Plate tho.
If the current plate isn't original, it won't be "newer" than when first registered.
I don't see anywhere where I said it would? :confused:
Thats the reg number on the service book right back to the pre delivery checks etc so i believe its the original tbh
Ummm, new one looks nice but i think the red one looked much better, i think the red shows the lines of the car better, both very nice cars though:thumb:
I don't see anywhere where I said it would? :confused:
You didn't and I didn't say you had. :roll:
Original plate or not (and according to the last post from w88rdy it is) it's still an L-Plate GSi.
The EPC doesn't recognise every plate. I've done a few checks on cars ive owned and had no results.
:roll: Not overly useful pointing out that it's a L plate though is it? lol
EPC has every reg of the family cars we've owned over the years so it ain't bad. Anyway, I've checked again and it has found the car.
It was built in 1992 and was apparently originally fitted with a C16SE which would be correct for the year of car and eventual registration.
It is a genuine GSi :thumb:
W88rdy: Does the vin end with 89?
:roll: Not overly useful pointing out that it's a L plate though is it? lol
Yep, people are saying it's not the original plate.
Who cares, if it's original or not, it's still as the OP stated one of the few L-plated GSi's :tard:
[insert yawn smilie lol]
Glad you found it phazer and thanks for the info, is that a program you have on your computer?
It's the Vx parts catalogue. It allows searching by registration as well as VIN. Quite cool as you can see the build options, trim codes etc.
It's dealer only software though.

I've had EPC for years and never realised it could search reg numbers aswell, you learn something new everyday.
I've got a few versions, and it only works on my 2011 EPC.
I think it was added sometime between 2006-2009, the version I have access to isn't 2010/11.
In the top left where the VIN box is there is a drop down than has VIN, REG and something else relating to specific trim/option codes.

Real gsi on the v5 ftw, nice colour and an L reg makes you look twice as it looks different on a nova.
Well guys the gsi now has mot and is ready to be used! roll on the sunshine!

Lovely example there Paul but could do with dark alessios imo, a bit too much silver going on, altough it is one of my favorite colour of Gsi
Wicked awesome GSis, both look stunning :thumb: I hope you get plenty of pleasure out of them, even cleaning something that, well, clean, is good fun!
Both look stunning, not normally fan of red or sliver novas but respec where due

Looking very nice matey, i really like this.

Both look great. Could do with a standard filler cap I think.
Also being really fussy but both cars could do with their wipers moving down on the screen a bit so they are level and at the bottom.
Very nice, but maybe a standard airbox?
mazz been looking for a standard airbox but no luck yet

Think i may have an airbox, will check on tues (and can take to billing)
Well it's been a while since the cars been out or had anything done with it but its having four 40 profile tyres tomorrow and is going for mot on Thursday , while its been off the road I decided to give it a once over and found it needed a little tlc from a previous so called repair that i had spotted when i viewed the car but figured i would sort one day, this resulted in a genuine back panel being sourced from Germany and a little fabrication to preserve as much of the original bodywork as possible.

Overall im very happy with the job my mate did on the car its just what it needed, will keep updating guys !
Looks superb mate, a nice clean bum now lol
Thanks Bazil it got done last year but havent been bothered with it as ive moved house and its stored elsewhere but ive got the bug again lol.
Your new one looks well, hope its coming to the shows be nice to put a name to a face lmao

I won't really be doing many other shows apart from a few local ones up here, it would be nice to catch you in person :)
Nice job on the rear panel, and the boot floor looks good. It's little bits like that, that people seem to miss out.
Thanks Steve , yes for me it's about making it as good as I can so it lasts !

She is taxed and moted now couldn't wait to have a tinker so decided to flush coolant and fit my black roose Motorsport hoses that I've had in garage nearly two years
http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c123/w88rdy/752af9bb854e172d18f932af724344b1_zps57a8d69c.jpg
Nice gm coolant back in the system

Then I fitted the standard airbox instead of the induction kit it had when I got the car

Ah must be a different one.
There was an L reg GSi in York for years that was owned by a guy who worked at Camerons Auto Accessory Store and he did the shows with it etc. Thinking about again it I think he XE'd that one.
Stunning car, in a stunning colour!
Was my mate mike at Cameron's with L reg one sold it years ago and he never xe,d it, there was four of us with gsi,s round York 3 grey and mine a silk violet one all had speedlines at one point as well
