Seem to remember that the early Corsa B systems hadn't got a CAT on them? Am I right, and if so, could I say that my car (1995, M reg) never had one when it comes to MOT and I've taken it out?
Wud just rather avoid the hassle of buying a decat, and a new converter, then swapping them for inspections...

Yep you are correct CorsAsh.
Well according to Haynes + the original corsa handbook anyway, the very early models DID NOT have a cat. as u say, they were the 12NZ engines.
This was only on cars realeased on an early K plate in 93 before the legeslation came in, in September.
You cannot say ur car is a 12NZ, coz it was made in 95

PS: I've never seen such an early example tho

the haynes manual must be full of shite cos the cat legislation was from 1992 onwards and the corsa wasnt released until 1993

yeah maybe, but its also in the 1993 CORSA handbook (provided by vaux at time of sale).
Must have been a few that got throught without cat, otherwise it was only released with the 12NZ in a diffferent country where legeslation hadnt begun?

12NZ engines had no CAT. Also, there was a small run of carburettor 1.2 8v K reg Corsas which had no CAT.
