What an oddity, i'd imagine the conversion probably cost more than the car is worth.

Jacko - This is just an Opel Corsa swapped with a Vauxhall V grille. Ufg confirms that. Also - this is LHD, not RHD, while all Vauxhall Corsas was sold only as LHD. And you can see an Opel logo, not Vauxhall one.

It's weird, as it was apparently imported some-time in 2016, so around the transition time where RHD cars were just becoming accepted for Polish-registration. I guess at the time it was imported, it might've been still worth it, but nowadays it's absolutely not worth changing the position of the wheel for such a car!

UFG is not a reliable source of information, the models and makes listed there are wrong so often that it's only good for general info.

Głogowianin, this is a Vauxhall Corsa! I have evidence to prove this, as I've already had discussions regarding this car on different forums/Facebook groups.
Firstly, I checked the plate on the numer-rejestracyjny.pl website which of course gave me the VIN and mentioned it registered as an Opel Corsa, registered on the 15th September, 2008 (remember this date).
Then, I cross-referenced that VIN to the Cazana UK database (now called Percayso Vehicle Intelligence), which in turn gave me the plate DU58 VEP.
Finally, I cross-referenced the UK plate with cartaxcheck.co.uk, and behold, came back to a Silver-coloured 2008 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 SXi, registered in the UK on the 15th September, 2008!

I see you're right! I'm sorry! I always thought it was impossible for Vauxhall to be LHD. But it's really converted.

It's all good man, I've seen loads of Opels with Vauxhall grilles around Europe, so I also assumed this was the same, until I tried checking the VIN of course, and got quite the surprise!
