Has anyone seen any of these deals around ?  I notice that the Corsa
and Citroen C2 have this option but only for 19+ year olds.

I'd very much doubt it.

The normal premium for a 17yo would be about half the purchase price of the
(new) car.

Yep that's what my mate is finding !!  IIRC though, these deals were
around a couple of years ago - that was why the Saxo was so poupar with
the young modders.

What is?

Leave some context in, please.

I think they've always had a lower age limit, or a requirement for a
minimum amount of full licence.

The Saxo was primarily so popular because it replaced the AX, which was so
popular because the AX GT was so damned superb at being a true Mini Cooper
replacement.

(Although quite why the illustration accompanying the article is of the far
lesser AX GTi is another question entirely...)

Nearly bought one once, they were/are pretty good (managed to crape enough
cash together for a Renault 5 GT Turbo in the end, whoooosh).

I wonder why they're so rare now while we still see Nova SR's everywhere ?.

Because all the AXs have been stuffed, leaving all the Novas that are about
now, which are primarily hooky reshells using ex-Grandma 1.2s.
