As some of you will be aware I'm back from a recent trip to Spain. Whilst there, amongst other activities I hunted Opel Corsa A's.
Found this one on a forecourt a few Km's from where I was staying.

It was a Sunday and the yard was closed, but from what I could see fom the fence it was pretty clean and fairly priced.
So spent the evening debating if *A) should I buy it, and if *B) should I drive it home or get it shipped.
Went back on Monday morning to have a proper look at it, but then decided against it as it needs a little attention.
I did notice on the Sunday that the paint gun must have been out at some point, but didn't quite bank on by how much. Its actually a good job, but could still be better.

Thought I would share anyway. Its covered 66,000kms and really is in nice condition. Needs a few new lenses and a drivers door bump strip as its screwed in place, but otherwise would be an excellent base.
Full brown interior and completely rust free.
If anyone is interested I can forward the details. The seller will let it go a lot cheaper, and it can be shipped to anywhere in the UK for a very good price.
This is of course however NOT a for sale thread.
