First series Opel Corsa (Corsa A built from 1982 till 1993) Spider conversion by Michalak in Wiesbaden Germany? Two German tuning companies made a Spider out of the Corsa A. I guess the puzzle vehicle is the Michalak version. Michalak converted approximately 100 Corsa A vehicles into a Spider.

That leaves the Irmscher tuning company then. Irmscher had an official agreement with Opel and received the bodies to make these Spiders directly from the Spanish Opel factory.

You're absolutely right! In the end, more than 1000 Corsa Spiders were built at Irmscher and one point for you ;-)
