They say beauty is skin deep, but this German Corsa turns that theory inside out…
Being an internationally renowned automotive snapper (you mean chancer – Jules), my job is to make feature cars look as best they possibly can for print. It’s like photographing people. You need to be selective, highlight the best parts and avoid the less than perfect attributes.
But this Corsa is different. It doesn’t have bingo wings, acne or an embarrassing tattoo. Peel back the layers and if anything, it just gets even better. Try as you may to find a neglected component on this car, but the answer will be nein! And that means no, not nine. It’s a German car remember.
