The Nova GSi was Vauxhall’s range-topping hot hatch of the early 1990s, combining lightweight performance with sharp handling and becoming a popular choice among Performance Vauxhall enthusiasts.
Finished in Silk Violet and presented as a notably original example throughout, the car retains its original dealer plates and is described by the vendor as a genuine time-warp example.
Powered by Vauxhall’s fuel-injected 1.6-litre four-cylinder paired with a manual gearbox, the Nova is said to be running and driving very well. It remains close to factory specification and still carries the cherished registration UIB 4225, fitted by its first owner from Dungannon shortly after purchase.
Supplied new by Evans Halshaw Vauxhall of Nottingham before being sold through Ballyrobert Vauxhall, Bangor under the Network Q scheme on 19th October 1993, the Nova remained with its first owner until 2000 and its second owner until 2021. The displayed 8,570 miles is believed to be correct.
Offered with its original Vauxhall book pack, wallet, original dealer plates, and V5C, this low-mileage Nova GSi represents an increasingly difficult model to find in such preserved condition.
