Just missed out on a 93 Corsa SRi priced at £750. Am now desperate to source a similar car. Anyone able to help out? Am looking for a fairly standard example. Also, is the 1.4 sport much different to the SRi ? (spot the novice).
I'm in Falkirk and can travel within Scotland.

Sport is a 16v and the Sri is an 8v pre 95 there are some late M-N plate Sri's with the 16v Ecotech engine..
i would rather have the Sport, i had so many problems with my Sri it was unbelievable

Cheers guys, will check scot ads soon as for sri s and sports. Didnt mean to start a turf war on cars but if anyone can contribute to the sri v sport debate I'd like to hear it.
