Vauxhall introduced their latest Corsa D car in 2006, with its facelift in 2011which revised its front end with new styled grille, eagle-eye headlamps and new front bumper. The Corsa continued in manufacture until 2014, being assembled in Germany and Spain under the Opel Corsa branding although it has always been marketed as the Corsa in the UK. It came as either a 3 door or 5 door hatchback and with petrol or diesel engine. At Oxford, the 1:76 scale Corsa was tooled up based on the 5-door version.
The model appears in a black body colour with silver and black radiator grille which features the signature Vauxhall Eagle badge. The 1:76 scale replica is registered EX12 OJZ from 2012. The interior is grey with black steering wheel. All remaining exterior trim is finished in black and a detail worthy of note is the rear lozenge shaped light configuration in red with silver centres. A final touch sees the Vauxhall badge printed in the centre of the boot lid below the rear window.
