Make and Model:
1993 CORSA B MERIT with C18XE (1.8 16v)
Description:
I don't get enough time to enjoy, drive or do things to my Corsa any more so it's time to bite the bullet and sell it.
1993 (L plate) Corsa Merit that has been converted to a 1.8 16v (C18XE) engine from a Mk3 Astra GSi.
Not a typical thrown together smokey old "redtop", it's been done to a decent standard I'd say.
12 months MOT (expires 26 April 2015)
5 months tax (expires 30 September 2014)
Shell/Bodywork:
70ish thousand mile 3-door Merit Shell in flame red
Early Merit spec so the tailgate does not have a rear wiper as standard meaning no problems with a rusty wiper hole.
Post 97 Flame red bumpers and mirrors
Tigra Scuttle Panel
Badgeless Grill
New windscreen, fuel tank, handbrake cables, speedo cable, rear cylinders, heater matrix, replacement merit badges

C18XE from 1994 Astra 1.8 GSi with unknown mileage
