Hello from Florida,

I was searching the forum for additional information about the Competition Coupe Corsa version. 

I found a few threads where the car is mentioned, but no photos. 
If it is possible, could you please fix the links to the photos, the photos are missing.

Also, can you tell me if the roofline was different on the competition version, different from the regular Double Bubble roofs?

thank you,

John Rowland

Indeed, in your photo on the "Zagato D.B. Corsa" thread, the driver side roof bubble appears to be taller than the passenger side roof bubble.

I think thats just the angle of the shot. I have a Corsa version as well (it is alleged by those in the know) and I cant see any difference in the bubble heights though the car has most of the other modifications listed
