Wowsers. I always thought these looked alright, wheel aside. I suppose it's a case of "find another" in terms of the mileage and condition, as they were never that common. I would imagine it's a pretty small market compared to for Novas and things though.

 

[McGherkin]

The only Corsa I’d even come close to paying £25k for would be one of these.

they were never that common.

Understandable, when you could go and get yourself a lovely Clio Williams, 106/306 Rallye, 306 S16 or even a late model RS Turbo.

Someone walked into Vauxhall and asked for a bodykitted Corsa with a 100hp engine in it. AND they wanted it in silver.

I think they’re a bit premature with that price

Would have thought these would have been up against cars like the Fiesta XR2i/Si and 106 XSI more than the cars you mentioned, so might be a bit of a harsh comparison.

Vauxhalls were rarely the best handling cars, but the engines were often pretty good. They had a massive following in the '80s and '90s, so that's what will decide if this is worth the money or not. Nostalgia can be a powerful drug.

So according to Parkers the price when new for the GSI Corsa was £11,635

Also according to Parkers, it's competition:

£10,070 106 Rallye
£10,275 Fiesta Si
£10,283 106 XSi
£10,566 Fiesta XR2i
£11,635 Corsa GSi
£11,730 Fiesta RS Turbo
£13,275 Clio Williams

The Mk3 Fezza was released in 1995, but there wasn't a sporty version till the 1999 facelift.
Maybe Vauxhall hoped that compared to the Mk2 Fiesta, the Corsa would look more modern and appealing, people wouldn't notice the price difference so much?

My brother had a blue one. It was so terrible it was good.

Tyre shine across all the tread. Nice.

Helps it handle like a genuine 90's car

I’ve always hated that shape corsa and that one looks like I painted the bonnet after 10 tins.

The silly sausage has left the v5 number in the pics, just waiting for someone to do a transfer on the dvla site 🤣

Yea, but then you'd be stuck with a f**king Corsa.

VXR8 and prior to that a cavalier Sri. After that, I saw sense.
Oh I did have an Astra van too. Loved that thing.

BAD BOT

The Mk3 waas released in 1989 and the XR2i was available with a 1.6 8v injection engine. Circa 110bhp. The Fiesta Turbo was available from 1990 with 132bhp.

Are you thinking of the Mk5 fiesta with the Zetec S? Pretty sure they didn't come out until 2001
