I would aswell go for the LET Corsa.
But like others have said you have to have deep pockets to own one of these.
Don't get me wrong theres probably a few people out there who haven't had many problems with theres, but it got to a point with mine that everytime you took it out it needed something else doing.
Just make sure you know what your looking at and be prepared for things to go wrong or need replacing.

a lot of stuff mate.
Its similar to an xe that bad conversions are done on the cheap and can go wrong. whereas good ones can still be reliable.
but costs are multiplied as you now have a turbo.

Robs corsa is the only 1 out of the 3 that is actually for sale.
Ps. the civic looks like its had a smash and been repaired by a blind man.

yup, raced it too. my mate had a 200bhp rs turbo, dyno proven. and the previous owner of the corsa let raced him. the corsa pulled away....ohh and the noise of the rob's corsa  i'll eat my hat if you can find a nicer sounding c20let. you cant tell its a c20let corsa either (looks wise, everything well hidden) one hell of a sleeper. bargain id say

That LET is very very reasonably priced. I'd snap it up. If you're going to be using everyday though I would go for something a little more practical.

Asking because I've seen them in that kind of condition going for £3.5-4k.
