I've seen a 51 Plate 1.4 SRI for sale I fancied for my wife, spoke to the women that owns it to find out the spec - but she didn't have a clue.

Would this have the 16" wheels or the 15" ones that came on SXI's?

Also, is it just the 1.8's that have different mirrors fitted?

How much do you reckon it'd be worth with 22K on it?

thanks in advance!

i know that most SRi's above a Y reg plate should have the new look SRi 16" alloys not sure if its a facelift thing or not

old SRi's X, Y Plate have sxi wing mirrors and sxi wheels

i think some 1.4's have the new style wing mirrors

It wasn't until the facelift models came in, that all SRi's (1.4, 1.7CDTi and 1.8) got the 16" alloys, fancy mirrors etc. These came in, in roughly 2003/2004.

The 51 plate SRi you've seen will basically look like an SXi

They even ditched the 1.8 SRi towards the end of the Corsa C time, replacing it with the 1.8 SXi+. These are silly rare.

But yeah, if you get an SRi, needs to be an '04 plate onwards really to look like an SRi and not an SXi.

About £3.5k imho. Can pick up facelift SRi's, in Vauxhall dealerships, with half decent mileage on for £4995 now.

Bargain There must be something wrong, surely

As said, it will probably look like an SXi so will have the 7 spoke alloys on.

If it's in black you'll have to get there before I do
