Before you read any further, this is a Cat C repaired, however, you can see the damage so I'm not hiding anything. The Coupe is in Chianti Red, and has Irmscher styling including the spoiler, rear spats and front splitter and backbox. Inside there is a very nice CD/Radio headunit (not standard), a PS2 with an independant screen and is all linked in and wired up and ready to be used.
Other modifications include Black Angel Eye Headlights which are in good condition, and 17 inch Corsa D SRi Alloys (these are quite rare) and standard tinted rear lights.

It is MOT'd til late November this year, however it is not taxed nor SORN (please read on). I originally bought this as a Cat D (it was still damaged) and intended to repair it and just use it (it was very useable anyway), so 6 months down the line, I eventually got a letter from the DVLA informing me the car was in fact a Cat C, so I had to take it off the road and buy another car. As you can see in the pictures the damage was to the rear and had cracked the rear bumper and damaged the bootlid. So I replaced these parts from a Coupe Turbo that was being broken for its engine and although it isn't perfect, you'd struggle to see the imperfections, the bootlid although slightly stiff does shut down correctly. There is a slight crease in the rear passenger wing, I had no intention of having this repaired so I've left it.
It is going for its VIC test this Tuesday (in Peterborough) and once passed (I have no doubt it will) will be useable, I will not apply for the log book, I will leave this to the buyer, who just has to fill in all the paperwork (it's free), but obviously a full receipt will be given, I still have the old green slip from when I bought it so this can be used for taxing purposes.
The engine is slightly noisey on start-up but quietens down after a minute, it was serviced about 2,000 miles ago using with engine flush, Lucas Oil, Denso Plugs and FRAM filters.

Wondering why I'm getting rid of it? Well I really don't want to, but I have just started a car-dealing business with my Father so we need the space and I'm hoping to buy my own house at the end of the year so need something a little cheaper to run.

So the basics again:
MOT'd til late November,
Is a Cat C but will pass its VIC test this Tuesday (I will update the advert once this happens)
All Paperwork will be supplied,
Recently Serviced,
3 previous owners,
will come with a few spares.

Work Needed:
Front Bumper requires attention (hence the pictures with a blue bumper, Chianti Red bumper with Irmscher splitter will be supplied)
V5 Paperwork needs filling in.
Windscreen is chipped (could do with filling (free through insurance)

The Audio and Ps2 system are a lot of fun and is very useful when your waiting for someone, Ill even include a game of Pro Evo and Tony Hawks and both controllers.
Pictures to follow once they've uploaded.
Location: Leicester.
Price: £825 o.n.o (will consider a swap)

It's a 1.8 (I know the Turbo bit on the back is a bit misleading!)
