And Yes it is a girls car... Saw this on the bay last weekend and had to buy it, didnt set me back much. Preety decent car apart from a snapped cambelt lol. 1.6 16v, 1999, aircon, pas, abs, electric everything.
Il let the pics do the talking now.
Couple of bits of rust and rubbish paint on the spoiler.
Oh and i think somthing is missing?
Its proplery bent 6 valves, maybe more, wont know untill the valves are out of the head.
Seems to have been a failed tensioner that caused the snap, as the car has only done 65k, cambelt change isnt in the service history but its not a GM one.
I do like the car, will be my daily while the nova is off the road, and its preety much a corsa anyways lol

I bought a silver one with similar mileage on a W reg with catastrophic water pump failiure that caused the belt to jump a few teeth.

Alot of people do them up as tight as possible when fitting because they think its safer.
