    Default Mark Watts - Purple GTE Nova Turbo

    I was quietly looking through the First ever Total Vauxhall Mag, and found Mark Watt's old GTE Turbo nova. I know he sold it some years back, and have heard terrible stories of it being a mess now. However no one's ever came up with any evidence!

    Doe's anyone know its whereabouts now? Any photos? Is it being restored or is it way past it?

    On the courtenay site many years ago, there was a build thread of a 1.6T GTE, that was purple, it was stolen and found sometime later burnt out.

    EDIT: Could possibly be the wrong car

    Last i saw of it was on ebay, using one of Marks pics to advertise it. Apparently someone went to see it and it looked like it had been under a tree for about 2 years! The guy selling it had the ad removed iirc. Not seen it since.
