nova was given to me by grandad, never wanted a corsa, saw the one i have now cheapish, good condition so got that rather than a pug 306, which is what i originally wanted

Older lads at school all had Nova SR's, I had to have one after that.
Weird that my first car was a Volkswagen and the next a Corsa B.

I wanted to get rid of the ford I had on the drive as it was a bucket of nails saw a little Red 1.2 8v over the road that I thought needed to be chavved up so I bought it.
The owner wanted it back after I "did it up" they loved it I didn't

back in 1995 nova's were "the" cars to have. Had 2 novas and 2 corsas. Cant beat them for reliability and easy diy.
