to the best of my knowledge there wasnt. There was just the Sport, SR+GTE mk1 models in the UK and the GT + GSI (basically a GTE) in europe.

they were just the european version of the SR so it would have been carbed i would have thought. might have added injection on later GT's?

thing is it is a geuine uk car owned by some one who's not into cars cus it is just totaly standard,and the wheels are like normal sr/gte/gsi ones but have no split up the middel there solid?? this is really puzzling me now..

well I would think about the same, the MPI combined with a cat would probs make it close. Wonder if you can get an MPI injection system from one of them imported :?

Thats the Corsa Sprint I think, what some tree-hugging countries got instead of the Sport :lol:

There was a GTi, but it was just the Euro name for our SRi
