Corsa-B.uk - Vauxhall, Opel and Holden Corsa B Owners Club

Hi all being well im going to look at a M reg corsa sri tomorrow was wondering if anyone can tell me what to look for?

Im a technician so i know my way round a car in general but i was wondering as i have no knowlage of the Corsa itself so any help would be great.

back axel, sill's, rear archs, and floor check for rot, it may have cream under the oil cap but most 8v's have, as long as a 8v starts and runs its normally ok

are the sri's not all 16v?
The guy has steel wheels on it i thought all sri's has alloys?

my guess been sri would have alloys and be 16v check paperwork to make sure that it is as advertised lol.

its a 16v and i have hpi'd it forsome reason does not have original 3spoke alloys though?

the early SRI's came as either a 8v or a 16v as i have a v5 documentation for an early corsa 1.4 16v SRI and they SHOULD have early 3 spoke alloys they are a different style to the later corsa SPORT alloys ( basically same car just post 95 / 97 ) but tbf they're pretty ugly...

So if I buy it will I pick up some original wheels easy enough? Are you saying there are two choice of 3 spoke wheel too?
