Thanks for confirming my thoughts. I am the third owner, had it repainted 8 years ago (see pic below). Now out for full paint and chrome restoration as the chromework was getting very tatty, should have it back at the end of the summer. New paint will be a darker pearl red, using period correct block letter decal set without Corsa Extra designation.
