Four decades after the first unit rolled off the assembly line and with a “résumé” of 14 million units produced over six generations, the German utility vehicle is entitled to a limited edition, whose number of units refers precisely to the year in which it debuted on the market: 1982.

To further accentuate the contrast, the mirror caps, the roof, as well as the brand logo and the model name inscription on the rear are also black.
The exclusivity associated with this series, which will only be available in selected markets, is evident in the interior, where the number plate stands out., located next to the center display on the passenger side. but what really highlights the tartan covering of the seats, capable of arousing a certain nostalgia with fans of the original Corsa due to the checkered pattern.
