Well, thanks guys. I know it's a shock but never drive it these days..... If it doesn't sell I'll break it and sell the parts. ?13,400 was easy, engine was over ?5000 on its own. I'm selling it 'cos it needs to be driven and enjoyed...

[draper]

wish i had that much !!! but if/when you do break im interested in the shell

[Ben]

Knowing Dave a little and knowing the car i can imagine the build bill being much higher than that, Everything you can imagine on this car has been changed/modified with no expense spared.

I know at least 20 people that have spent wel in excess of ?20k on Novas.

[Will F]

Pity Dave, must admit.

If you do decide to break, I have a list!

quite easy to spend 10k plus on a a decent engine, shell interior etc...

I have spent a lot more tahn that and I dont even have an interior!
