Hi Eric,

You don't have to prove this to me, because I don't want to buy your car 🙂 But it will be necessary to be prooven, if you wish to sell this car. What is maybe interesting to you, this car can be used in the Fia Historical Racing Championchips, if originally homologated (which you say). With this car, you could have good chances in taking part in some of this races, because the Organisations are usually interested also in some more rare touring cars, than 50 Mercedes 300SL 😉

Hi Kester,

Thanks for all but Ive already found this documents, it seems that my Corsa (a French version) is a little bit different. The group A was ordered and prepared by Irmscher and I supposed they used the basis car, Corsa Sprint to tune for rally races.

My engine is a 1297 cc , it is a Gr A version with an injection (not the carburators) coming from Irmscher.

I've just found this number on the top of the engine (front just at the 4th cylinder level) : 6688 , I don't know if you can do something with this...

Hi
I'm new here, just read this thread about your Corsa Sprint.
I'm Steve, I'm the owner of www.opel-corsa-a.com
You're right by saying that the Sprint was sold in France and that a Cup was planned.
But it was only planned, never done in France, only in Germany.
http://www.opel-corsa-a.com/index.php?seite=Rennsport/JuniorCup.htm

(sorry, the site is only in german at the moment, I'm working on an english version 🙁 )

But there were a few Sprints sold to France that were raced by private teams.
I even have some tests from french magazines, can scan them for you.

I would say that the car that you found is indeed very rare and it's WORTH to rebuild it.
Congratulations!!!

Concerning the dicussions about the wide body Sprints: there was a prototyp for Gruppe-A Sprint Prototyp that still exists and is in the Opel Oldtimer Sammlung.
And that's the next fact: There is an Opel car collection with about 300 cars of which a part can be seen at a factory tour. There's even an original Gruppe-A race car from the Junior Cup.

Wide body Sprints were never used in the Junior Cup. There were only about 50 built, not counting the replicas.
The guy who has 3 for sale is NOT the owner of that white one. That one was used in hillclimbing and is equipped with a cage, but was from factory (Irmscher) delivered as a standard one and later converted for racing.

I could write much much more 😁 but in case you need any further informations, just let me know

Cheers
Steve

Moin,

Möglicherweise kannst du mir die technischen Daten des TEsts rüberzappen ?! Insbesondere Hubraum, Leistung, Drehmoment, die dazugehörigen Drehzahlen, Getriebeart (Ich nehme an 5G MT ?) sowie die Fahrleistungen würden mich interessieren.

Danke,

Kester
