even though it's been partly restored etc still an old nova in my eyes, bit pricey...£1400 of the wheels don't go with it...

Just realised its another bloke off Novaload selling a slightly new one, this one is better IMO as its unmolestered
I have my grandpa's yellow nova that i had planned to restore to original condition. I was using it until the head gasket went, so it's therefore undriveable.
It has only covered 72k miles from new, all by my grandpa.
It's condition is original with absolutely no modifications.
It comes with the SR alloys and tan check recaro interior.
Condition: -
The main shell is solid, i have removed the interrior and there was no rust on the inside of the shell. It is heavily waxoiled underneath.
The rear wings have rust, but this is usual
The front wigs are fine, but some surface rust has appeared on the top of wing.
The engine compartment is rust free, though a little oily.
one door has a little rust at the bottom.
The interior on the whole id fine. a little wear on the carpet on the drivers side.
the drivers seat has worn a little on the drivers back bolster.
I would ideally like someone who would be interested in a project to have this car as it's to good to scrap.
It could also be converted into a great track or rally cross car becaus ethe shell is solid.
Sensible offers please, no sensible offer refused. how often do one owner cars that are 22 years old come along?
My name is on the log book, but have only driven it to my home.

Was in Total Vauxhall a while ago, saw it at Trax, don't know what his definition of immaculate is because its nowhere near my definition.
And if he thinks his is worth near on £7k then mines worth £14k

How much do you reckon he'd want for that OJC?
I was looking for one at the end of last year but couldn't find one and now spent that money on something else

The yellow A-reg one with blown headgasket? £100-200 quid at a guess.
If I did'nt have the Coupe I would buy it just to look at.

Same story for me, my first car was an F Reg Nova 1.2L, stripped it completely and took the bits from a face lift sxi that had been rolled, absolutley loved this car, got me into 'modifying'!
