Bought this motor last week as a replacement for the egg XE runaround..

Pretty sure its been owned by someone from the club before my mate had it-
It did have pngclub stickers in when my mate bought it but he removed them
in favour of some C20XE Inside stickers..

Got it for a very good price, it was also rolling roaded 8months ago at
165bhp, cant remember the torque figure but I do have the printout
somewhere.

Spec is a standard XE, the only thing I know of thats helping the power is the
fact that the head gasket failed and it has had a head skim before being
bolted back on. Only bits I've done since buying it is put a new fuel filter on
and took the cesaro's off in favour of the old speedlines (centre caps will be
fitted once my opel centre stickers arrive :thumb: )

Couple more pics plus my mates new egg XE on R1 carbs we picked up last night..

Yeah sorting the offside wing is top of the jobs list, trying to find one already white beacuse CBA having to prep/spray etc..

The corsa seems to be alright yeah, just needs a crack welding up on the inlet manifold- meant my mate could knock some money off the asking price though..

Mike that Shell garage is at Tintwistle nr Manchester mate at the end of the M67

Haha you wouldnt catch me driving a mondeo taxi in the first place mate!...

You may not be aware but the Vauxhall Nova is an Opel Corsa A on the continent...

Unfortunately for you sir a mondeo taxi on the continent is still a mondeo taxi!...
