    I've built something else instead

    The new owner is not a member of PNG and is currently trying to secure some space to work on the nova.

    Yes, I saw it about 3 or 4 weeks ago in the garage of a lad I bought another Nova from.

    It looked like a fair bit of work had been done to it, and he said he was selling the other Nova to fund finishing off your one.

    I've been speaking to the last two owners and this is what I know..


    In 2008 I sold it to a chap from Wales, he spent about a year finishing it off, he painted it white and fitted a C16SE engine with throttle bodies.


    Fast forward to about 2-3 years ago and I saw it for sale on eBay as a rolling shell in Matte Black.


    I thank spotted in on Instagram a few days ago looking FANTASTIC! (the photos above).


    After getting in touch with the Insta profile owner he told me he had painted it black, tidied it up, got it MOTd but then sold it back to the previous owner (engine had blown up and he had lost the love).
    He gave me the details of the previous owner who I then got in touch with, I believe he bought it as the black rolling shell, he gave me this story:


    I finished it in white then conor brought it and did it black and then I brought it back but tbh been messed with too much and ruined it so I sold it on to a lad who putting a turbo engine in. I be honest tho if you want it back since I sold it it's been ruined in my eyes. I do have photos of the build and when I sold it and I do have photos of when I brought it back because i regretted selling it. But the state it was in when got it back I wasn't happy and it was nothing like i sold it so was dishartend and sold it again. Especially as when I sold it it was perfect in every way even a couple of our local racers said how well it was built and balanced well and handles and went like a dream. I know that's being big headed but I was proud of that car and id spent 16k over 3 yrs and everyone said I couldn't do it
