    Interested in the shifter but suspect it's a bit too much for me to spend to change gear!
    Drop me an e-mail Iain and we can have a chat, it did cost me a lot of money, but honestly these things are as good as a Nova gear shift can be.

    It's not a Vauxhall, but some people may be interested in what has replaced the Nova;

    Cosworth fiesta?!
    If Carlsberg did Motor clubs, then IDMC would probably be the best motor club in the world.

    Yes it is Ben.

    It's the original Mk6 Fiesta that Steve Scott (A1 Rallysport) built in 2005. Something of a legendary car. The engine is now a bit down-specced from what it was (originally 650bhp + 100bhp Nitrous), it' now running around 400bhp. But it's been upgraded elsewhere, with bladed ARBs, Ludde dog 'box, AP Pro 5000Rs all round, Fifteen52 wheels etc.

    Just got a new PC and not got the hang of posting up photos yet.

    The Fiesta is road legal, which will be useful for the odd ride out. The plan is a few track days, maybe a quarter mile event, definitely a hillclimb or sprint.

    As for the Nova, give me a shout directly if there’s anything that you’re interested in. So far the only thing I have advertised (and sold) is the CAE shifter.

    Everything else is either for sale to anyone who wants it, or will be squirrelled away for a future project if it doesn’t sell.
