It is funny what people think they can get away with. From what I remember of that age of Vauxhall there were only 2 types of GSI Astra. 2.0 8v and 2.0 16v, neither of which he claims to have

I don't normally do this but I had to send him a question to try and make him see sense.
"Honestly mate, please realise that the DVLA have made a mistake(yes, this does happen) The car you are selling is not, and never has been, a GSi.
What sounds more realistic to you?
a)Vauxhall designed and produced an ultra-rare GSi cunningly disguised as a 5 door 1.6 GLS, minus all the usual GSi trimmings of skirts, bucket seats, lowered suspension and engine(!)that doesn't appear on any Vauxhall spec sheets of the time and has never been seen before
or
b)a mistake has been made at registration of the car and someone typed GSi instead of GLS?
You're really not helping yourself by carrying on believing otherwise and pretty soon this auction will be a laughing stock in internet forums worldwide. Save yourself the effort and realise that it's a mistake and relist your "modified" Astra 1.6 GLS."
Looking forward to his reply...

Oh yes, and I think this indicates the levels of IQ and education we are dealing with:
undated on both sides verry rare not meny left so grab a bargain and invest in the futcher it is said to b worth as littal as 20.000 in the near futcher if not more so get it now the last mise print by royal mint was 300 years a go ur not gona get 1 of them coins unless ur a billionaire so get 1 now this is 100% genuine it was all over the news that 1 sold 4 £7000 so i hav put a fair starting price with no reserve and i would prefer the winning bidder to collect in person so they r happy that it is genuine and if not only paypal transactions plz so we are both covered delivery will b free first class recorded if u chose not to pic up thanks and happy bidding ps watch out 4 scammers an make sure u read other listing properley b4 bidding might not b genuine thanks
what a *****

That deserved a message from me too.
Mate, wake up! A five door GSI only exists in your head. Contact Vauxhall head office, not the dealers but the main office and ask them to check the VIN against their productions records. You'll probably find it rolled off the lines with its GLS siblings. At a long shot though, and it is only a long shot, someone at Elsmere port might have been bored and made a one off on their lunch break, might be worth asking them. DVLA do make mistakes, yes really they do! It doesn't matter how many websites you check for the car identity because guess where they get their information from? Guessed yet? Wait for it..........yes, DVLA! WOW! Who would of thought that!
Get a grip mate, it's a normal Astra which has been molested and had a badge slapped on it.

By trying to prove they did a 5 door Gsi he blew his own argument up, yes they did do a 5 door Gsi but it was a 2.0l lol.
The spelling is truly superb, now I'm not one to pick up on spelling etc because people do make mistakes but exshorst and futcher really bugged me.
