Lee Mitchum Editions?

[thunderpants]

i went to look at a m8's of a m8's corsa he had for sale (might buy it), its a 2ltr engine one and he said its a Lee Mitchum edition or something??
couldn't see any badges to confirm this tho.

never heard of it before, he reckond that in the late 90's a guy who worked in vauxhall found some old stock of 2ltr engines that needed shifting so he fitted some to corsas and a few into novas. And they then got sold to special/regular customers?

is this a rare car i've found and should i buy it to restore to how it left the factory, could do with a respray really.

weird he seemed quite sure about this, but was no way to prove it.

was a corsa b btw, not a C, forgot to say that.

is there anyone where else i could ask or found out about it? goggle came back with nothing

Seriously mate, I'v been on the scene since 1994. I would have heard about this if it was even a GOOD rumour, like the Lotus nova and the field of new gsi's in germany, and the stockpile of shells.....


Just an urban legend mate.

Lee Mitchell is a guy who does engine conversions for Corsa's

Lee Mitchell is who you are talking about, he lives in Kent and is widely known by the Corsa boys for the man to do their conversions, if you go to house there are normally 2 or 3 conversions on the go. He is also a good friend of mine, what does the car look like I probably know of it.
