2.0 16v Nova/Corsa built? Who by? What does it look like? Is it still alive e.t.c... Just interested to see who had the bright idea to fit a big engine into a small car, cos back when the engines were first in production there surely weren't many hot hatches about appart from the Golf GTi, which is a pretty big car compared to the Corsa.... Oh yea, who was the first bright spark to put a LET in?

I think this is the correct answer to the first 2.0 16v, sure it was a 1 year old Nova GTE, could have been brand new not sure.

Ask on Novaload they will know.

A16V TB was the green one.

One of the first Corsas was Andy Braceys?
