[FC] corsa trivia question

[Williams, Rickie]

If I may wager a guess....it is due to the routing of the spark plug wires.
The way the wires go across the top of the shroud and are fastened to the
rubberized holders would cause the #2 to be completely hidden (if it were
present).  Does this seem reasonable?
