1996 Vauxhall Corsa Combo Van 1.7D

Summary:

Ugly, but useful

Faults:

Van-doors lock broken.

Stereo broken.

Ignition lock broke.

Pre-heating system broke.

General Comments:

Good work horse, reasonable on diesel.

Engine is agricultural, clattering away in front of you. Give it some revs and it sounds like a canal boat about to go critical.

Despite based on the shopping cart Corsa, it's actually fairly roomy for a van.

Good load space.

Ugly as sin with fat sides like a guppy, but that just makes it all the more useful.

Good in a crash. Mine is currently a write-off on the drive, crashed head on into a tree after losing control in the wet, not a scratch on me.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No
