    Default Sad end to one of my old novas

    Been looking through my old photo bucket pics getting the pics I want off there while I still can and come across these I forgot all about.

    So 17 years ago I had a mint 3 door saloon in blue .
    Before they were cool and right about the time novas wereworth peanuts I stupidly sold it for £12
    To the local bad lads who drove it around the area for the day then set fire to it in the local woods .

    A few years later I went for a walk to see if the shell was still there and it was along with a few others .






    Good news is the original bonnet off this car has been stored im my mates garage for years as we removed it and fitted a dented one before selling . The bonnet is now skinned and on my drag car .


    Just one of around 30 novas I have owned if only I knew what they would be worth now.

    Think of it this way, any time you want to take a trip down memory lane you can pop out and go and see your old car
