    Default Genuine question...

    Not being funny when I ask this, but why do there seem to be a LOT of nice Novas in Scotland?
    Not just on this site. For sale ads everywhere online, cars recently acquired by some end up in Scotland.
    Is the retro car scene rife up there? I'm on the casual look out for one to buy but it doesn't help when I'm almost as far away as you can get being close to Brighton on the South coast.

    ive always headed south to buy cars, mostly because cars up here tend to rot faster so easier to find a good condition shell by travelling. obviously a lot more cars in england aswell since theres so many more people staying there so got more choice than only buying locally.

    as for retro car scene i dont see much evidence near me. i do know theres a lot of older cars in mint condition about though, within a mile of my house i know of cossies, escorts, old golfs, minis, e-types, triumphs, mgs, chevettes, mantas etc all in garages but most dont see the road, some ive never actually seen driven and only know from being customers of my work.

    novas i think ive only seen maybe a dozen or so on the road driving in the last 8 or 9 years in glasgow but ive seen many times that in storage or as projects.

    The cars I'd love to have an opportunity to own appear to be in Scotland. (Not sure who's they are off the top of my head).

    Nova's are everywhere, The only way to tick all of the boxes is to build your own.

    Quite surprised that you're finding most the good ones up here as 5 months of the year the roads are gritted!
