Vauxhall reveals new Corsa-e Anniversary Edition

Vauxhall has revealed a new Corsa-e Anniversary Edition, built to celebrate 40 years of Vauxhall superminis. The special edition Corsa-e will be limited to just 1,000 examples in the U.K.

The Corsa-e Anniversary Edition comes complete with a Record Red metallic paint finish, inspired by the Carmine Red from the original Nova.

This is exterior finish is paired with a black grille alongside black front and rear Vauxhall Griffin badges. The car also comes with black 'Corsa' lettering at the rear, which features prominently on the centre of the rear tailgate, as first seen on Grandland and Astra.

17-inch alloy wheels in gloss black, with matt grey inserts finish off the exterior touches for the Vauxhall Corsa-e Anniversary Edition.

Inside, the Vauxhall Corsa-e Anniversary Edition features a modern interpretation of the classic Nova's tartan seat fabric.

And you also get the opportunity to bring the pattern along with you once you leave the car, as it comes with four pairs of socks inspired by the pattern found in the original 1980s Nova SR and the one found in the Corsa-e Anniversary Edition.

Vauxhall even states that the pattern on these socks comes in both small and large sizes.

A black dashboard strip and interior number plate highlight the Nova and Corsa's 40-year heritage in the U.K.

Based on the GS Line varaint, the Corsa-e Anniversary Edition also benefits from a comprehensive list of standard equipment, including front and rear parking sensors, a 180-degree panoramic rear-view camera and blind-spot alert. For added comfort and convenience, the model is equipped with heated front seats and a heated steering wheel as well as electric folding and heated door mirrors.
