    Default 985cc Turbocharged Nova Sprint Car

    At long last I have managed to acquire a Nova that I've wanted for ages. It's a bit of a legend on the hillclimb and sprint scene, running in the up to 1400cc class, and built by Andrew Bradley of BTEC Racing.

    Just some very quick photos from early this morning when I got back from collecting it;







    More details will follow later.
    To contact me please use E-MAIL to colinesmith@aol.com.

    thousands of Nova (plus other Vauxhall and motorsport parts) available.
