I’ve encountered this Corsa taking part in the German Time Attack visiting Assen .

There used to be tons of A Corsas ( mainly hatchbacks)   around but they all have dissappeared it seems.

They have. Same with most hatchbacks around that era.

We never got the Corsa here in Canada (as Opel hasn’t sold things here since like...the 1970's), but I would say most hatchbacks of that era here are gone as well... :(

I passed on the opportunity to buy a first owner 1987 Volkswagen Polo for a couple hundred Euros two years ago:(

I actually saw a Vauxhall Nova in the past week or so, unexpectedly.

An uncle of mine used to have one … or two. They’re both long gone now.
