This is my 1992 Vauxhall Nova GSi in Silk Violet for sale.
I have been a PNG member since 1999. This car has been to several shows, old and recent. Some may recognise it, some may have captured it at Belgium 2001 or the early National Days or recent VBOA's / National Days.
I have owned the vehicle since 2000 and it is a Genuine GSi, not a replica.
It was a daily driver back then but late in 2001 I took it off the road for a C20XE engine conversion. This took longer than originally anticipated and did not go back on the road until 2009.
In that period it had a Harry Hockley engine bay strengthening kit fitted along with seam welding, full repaint, X2 Genuine front wings and X2 Genuine door skins in 2005.
The engine conversion then followed shortly after.
I have every receipt for the parts fitted, full service history since 1992 and X2 original keys along with dealer handbook / pack.
It has been fully set up and dyno’d at Spam Speed complete with dyno sheet to prove.
The car has only covered 5,000 miles in 11 years and since 2009 has just been used for shows and / or occasional dry weekend use and has now covered a total of 103k.
It has 10 months MOT and 3 months tax included in the sale.
I have made the difficult decision to sell as a change in circumstance means I’ll have even less time for the car. It deserves to go to somebody who can use it more than myself.
