Any Vauxhall Nova fans around?

[Apache]

My son is going to MOT this and put it on ebay, it's completely original even the rusty wings and I thought it might be of interest to a fan of the marque

[Kiltox]

Can't be many completely original ones around any more - nice!

Not a massive fan but have appreciation for anything like this at this age that's been kept original especially if it had a tendancy to be chavved to the extreme

Love the colour

My old man had an E plate 1.2 merit saloon in black with a red coachline about 20 years ago !

Give us more details.

Actually really like that - don't see many around these days.

An old dear had since new in 1984 then my son inherited it, lent it to a mate for a bit then got it back....it's done about 53000 miles and is a 993cc monster.

[cheesyblob]

Can you post a link to the Ebay ad when he puts it up?

and consequently weighs the square root of buggar all , my first car was a 993 base model nova and i managed to suprise myself once with an early morning trip from Sheffield to Lincoln that averaged 60 ish mph -

Assuming it passes the MOT, what should he put it on for? it's not as if there are any others to compare it with

[Nickyboy]

Mate of mine bought this a couple of years ago



It currently looks like this




To be fair despite the condition it wont go for a huge amount, might make a grand if really lucky but that will more than likely from someone wanting the shell more than anything for a project.

Given it's on eBay without a MOT - is it too knackered to get one?

my sons car, all I can do is advise

[Kiltox]

That wasn't what I asked

You said he was listing it after he MOTed it.

[Apache]

oh I see, sorry. No didn't bother with an MOT as he's out of work right now

[Kiltox]

Fair enough.

I'm going to have some money after the guy comes to collect my Almera later today, I'll try hard not to bid on this but I do kinda want it

It really is a little gem, such a shame VX didn't put more effort into protecting the arches

rear arches are a crap trap on the nova and for some reason they like to rust out the rear half of the bottom of the doors - as both the 3 door i had and the 5 door my brother had at one time rusted in both those places
