Hi guys, just started following this club as my mum owns a Nova GTE in very good condition. It's only done 78,000 miles and she's had it since 1990. Any ideas of how much its worth?

Welcome to the forum - Some detailed pictures and a description of the cars history would help with the valuation.

It was registered in 1988 and is an F reg Nova GTE. Was bought in 1990 with one previous owner at 18,000 miles. No modifications so all original parts. Cassette works but the radio doesn't to a certain extent (trouble finding reception). There is a bit of wear and tear on the drivers seat but nothing major. Rust has been addressed over the last few years. Is kept in the garage and mum drove it regularly until last year because she realised it was getting rare!
We've checked out this HOWMANYLEFT website and have found out that there are only 42 left that are licence to drive on the road.

Here's some photos.

That looks clean! I imagine some close up pictures of the normal rust prone areas would be needed though, arches, doors boot floor....well pretty much everywhere lol

No not many paddy, when I was a little kid I thought it was a bit of an old banger but now I'm older I realise the rarity of it. It depends where you live andy
