My Cars - Mk2 XR2 & Nova 1600T40
Discussion
Hi i'm Nick, I joined up after browsing the site now and again
Sorry they're not ferrari's or anything as extravagant, but here are my cars !
Ford Fiesta Xr2
totally standard, original Car. It has 32k on the clock. It's got a FSH; serviced every 6 months from new by Ford. I have every single bill, receipt, documentation, service receipt, Tax disk, Mot certificate from new !
I don't use it much, just waiting for it to be garaged soon. Overall, a great little soon-to-be classic car !
Vauxhall nova 1600T40
This was my first car, started life as a 55hp 1.2 Carb. I've upgraded most parts, and it's now a competition Spec 1.6 8v on 40's. It's starting to be used as a track car, but it still runs full weight/interior as it get's used as a road car too !
Bay has been Stitch Welded, The engine was built by a local motorsport outfit. Consisting of a full bottom end rebuild, Headwork, Cam, Exhaust, Carbs e.t.c It's recently Achieved 142/145 bhp on a local RR !
All comments Welcome !

I had to look twice at that XR2. Sooooo shiny and pretty, A real gem of an example, Really nice. It already is a classic. Low milage too.
Not really a Nova fan but it looks like a nice example. A bit of a relief from all the halfordsones 140 bhp is not a shameful figure, especially with how much little weight it has.

Thanks for the replies !
The XR2 is very very Clean. It's got two rust spots under each headlamp, which is the only blemish on it ! I'm going to garage it soon when my mum moves house and then i'l get it undersealed and do some rust prevention work !
The nova was my first car, bad colour, slow and crap. But i never ever thought they'd be so much fun to drive. I've put about 2.5k into the engine, and it's fantastic. It's a reletivly mild spec (power wise) so there's more to go !
