    One of my Novas was bought new by my granny in 1985, my mum then had it from it was about 9 months old. We kept it until 2001 and it was sold on. Bought it back again in a sorry state almost 2 years ago! So it has been in the family about 18 years out of it's 29 years alive!

    Owned the GSi 9 years and can't see me selling it, the Sport or SR, they are keepers. The rest might go for the right offer at some point!

    Got two of them now neither on the road but plans are one as a daily and one as a weekend racer, both being so unique I doubt I would ever get rid.

    I'll be wanting it roughly by 2017 so no rush, it would make a lovely 40th present to myself I reckon Nick

    Love this thread, kinda makes me want one for the road too...

    Plans for the racer are to finish it, then race a few times a year and keep knocking it back in to shape as many times as it takes until there's nobody left to race against Keep it solid, keep it fast - saves wasting good panels that could be used for other people's restorations in the future

    Had my nova 3 and a bit years now and haven't driven it once, MOT & tax next month, Then will be fitting the X16XE I have once I've done a gasket rebuild on it and repaint and keep for a few more years.

    I've always wanted a Anglia 105e or Manta so will have one of them in 10 years most likely.
