I have suddenly started loving these!! Think it's cos I owned a K reg Black Nova Sri for my first car!
I'd love a silk violet one with put some speedlines on it.

What price do these go for?

Yes, they are.

Just after I bought my Corsa SXi a silk violet GSi in pristine condition came up for sale at the local Seat garage, must have been a trade in.

Had only done 40,000 miles and they wanted 3.5k, was a good price 4 years ago.

My bro had a mint silk violet GSi. Lowered 40mm on 17" Mas VT5Rs.........looked as sweet as u can get.

Like Icy's bro, he wrote it off after a few weeks. Ran into the back of an arctic @ 110mph+. He survived, just. The nova didnt.

This ones up for £1200. Bodywork would need looking after.

Lovely cars, but I'm gonna keep saving for a quicker newer motor when I replace the Corsa.
