Was sitting at the traffic lights on the way home from work tonight when an older man got out his car next to me and handed me a leaflet, asking me if I knew anyone that would be interested in buying a car.
On the leaflet is an advertisment for a:
1992 J plate Nova SRi fitted with an Astra 1.8 GTE engine
Lowered Spax Suspension
15' Wolfrace alloys
poly bushes
seam welded engine bay
stage 2 head
Piper cam
Janspeed exhaust
oil cooler
16V Brakes
Greenstuff pads
fully undersealed
digital dash
Alpine headunit
Kenwood 6x9s and fronts
smoothed tailgate
de-badged
tints
fully resprayed
73k on the engine
£1200
The guy is selling it because he is moving abroad.
What you think, worth a look?
Ive always wanted a Nova.
Any advice is apreciated
Thanks
CJ

U2U James, he knows everything there is to know about Novas - used to have one with a 1.8 GTE engine in too.

Why would you want a nova with a 1.8 engine Presumably an 8v too?

Why did he get out of his car and hand you a leaflet?? Do you know him?? I'd have sh1t myself if someone had done that to me. It's probably got drugs stashed in it or something, and you looked young n naive so he gave you the leaflet coz he thought you would buy it

Or maybe he's sick fed up of chavs on ebay bidding then not coming up with the cash?? or possibly sick of advertising it in papers/magazines and gettin nowhere 
TBH I'd rather hand out leaflets or put for sale signs in my car as i cant be arsed advertising in papers/internet/mags cos all you get is fuckign hassle and it's a waste of money
