    I miss my old Novas, had a few back in the day and was in a club which loads of us had Novas.
    My last one was a 1986 1.2 shell with a Corsa GSi engine in and loved it…. I miss rasping around in novas and watching this has brought back so many memories so thanks for the video guys 😊

      @@RUclipsuser-eq4up Is a 1.4 sport 16v with a gsi kit on it. We bought it with the intention of swapping it out for a redtop but its so clean & only 52k miles that it seemed a shame to split it up so we ran a comp for it as it is. A fella from Scotland won it last Wed for £3.33, we'll be delivering it this week.

    Incredible video once again lads. My first car was a Nova 1.4 SR , G626 FSD , was about to calibra turbo it then had to buy a lathe for my business 🙈 I reckon if I had gone ahead with it I'd stil! Have kept the car today. I joined the PNG group of nova members and they sent me very polite and superb letters asking me to take it to car shows for the club stand, the main reasons were it was minted and also it was a super rare metallic blue and there was almost none left even back then in the late 90s when i had it. It wasnt that super light blue , it wasnt breeze blue it was an even cooler blue, kind of in between both blues. Then my friend in the army wrote it off 😢 a week after buying it 🙈 utter bellend of a boy with cars 🙄 i wish I'd known better at the time and kept it.
