Nope, they did not make a 1.3 Corsa. If it is a Sport it should be the 16v engine, if it's an SRI then it can be either the 8v or 16v depending on year.

May have changed engine with dvla but should be a 1.4 or 1.6 16v the 1.3 8v was never fitted to a corsa just 1.2 and 1.4 in earlier models
if its a proper 1.3s or sb engine, then it would be worth a few bob taken out & sold.. and would easily pay for a baby xe to stick back in

How would I know if its the proper 1.3s engine as im going to look at it tomorrow ??
dead easy.. look at the engine from the front, and on the side of the block nearest the radiator & the gearbox, right next to the head gasket, is the engine no. it will start with 13 then either s or sb. if it has just 13, its a low compression one, anything else means its not a 1300

So even if is not the s or sb with a thicker head gasket I could do a low boost turbo project ?? Lol
if amazingly you find its a 1.3 low comp, its low enough to turbo straight away.. but they are rarer than bacon cob in tel aviv
