Never seen this before. Looks like a Corsa C Sedan |

Brazilian origin, or? But odd, that it has an Opel-badge. In South America Opel-origin and Opel-based cars are all named Chevrolet. |

Yes, that's really odd... where does this movie happen? Because maybe there it was sold as an Opel. It reminds me of the left hand drive Vauxhall I saw a moth ago. I didn't know it existed. |

Mmmhhh, this was no original LHD Vauxhall, if not a classic car from pre-Opel-times (Chevette and Cavalier were the last Vauxhalls with unique body-elements). At newer cars always the owner has replaced the badges, because many -mainly youngsters with Corsa B's- think, that the Vauxhall-badge looks stylisher than the Opel-logo. |

Yes, it was a Corsa B. It had the Vauxhall badge only in the exterior because, if I remember well, it had the Opel logo in the steering wheel. It had a German number plate. I didn't know if it was an Opel with the Vauxhall badge or a Vauxhall with an Opel's steering wheel. Thank you for the information! -- Last edit: 2013-09-29 14:45:08 (Neon) |

So it's just a crummy Opel, pimped by the owner with an Vauxhall-badge. |
◊ 2013-08-26 18:33 |
Yes. But when I saw it I had my doubts. I obviously knew that it was impossible that Opels were sold in Germany as Vauxhalls. I also thought that some Vauxhalls could be sold in other countries with LHD and be imported, but I found strange to see that German plate. It's a curious thing that Opel sells its models with lots of different names (Saturn or Chevrolet in America)... This is normal because in America Opel is a complete unknown maker, and Saturn or Chevrolet aren't, but I still think that the Vauxhall case is strange. -- Last edit: 2013-09-29 14:45:27 (Neon) |

Well, there were Opels sold in the USA - but not any more since 1975. The last model there was Manta A/Ascona A. And Vauxhall is much more unknown in the world, except in the UK and some Commonwealth-countries. Even in the European countries, where there was (up to the 70ies) a more or less remarkable export (Austria, Belgium, Norway, Switzerland for example) they are disappeared. But the Opel with the Vauxhall-grille is nothing stange at all. It's only a few screws (six, IIRC correctly. When my wife had an Astra G, I've mounted an aftersales market grille) and maybe 5 to 8 minutes work to replace it |

Well, there were also some RHD Opels in the UK before being renamed Vauxhall. I suppose that they renamed them because Vauxhall was an historical British maker, and more famous than Opel there. -- Last edit: 2013-09-29 14:45:46 (Neon) |

GM dropped Opel in the UK when the cars became identical. |

The last Opel, sold officially in the UK as Opel, was the Manta B. |
