    Default Mk1 Nova Hatch

    I joined this forum years ago, but just started looking at it again as I now officially own the family Nova!

    Shes been in the family since 1991, so I've literally grown up with this car,when I reached 17 I learnt to drive in it. She's been laid up for a few years now, but I'm finishing uni soon and so attentions may be on her soon to get it back on the road as a cheaper mode of transport than my capri!

    Couple of Pics!



    Cheers
    Chris

    Cheers man, haha never even thought about the FTL , reckon it stands for 'faster than light'! for a completely standard 170,000mile 1.2, it still beats my 1.6 capri on performance hands down, they got the final drive/box ratios just right on the 4speed Nova I reckon!

    pics were taken a few years back where me and my gf actually slept in the car overnight in that layby, man it was cold!

    I have a 1.2 Swing 4 speed and I was quite surprised at how well it goes.
