Sounds good mate, i'd be interested to see what state its in, standard I presume?

/\ ohhhhh kaaaayyy....
Pics CK.
right, well my A-reg white 1.3Sr is all road legal now, mot re-test was today and now ive taxed it aswell.
i am going to be popping out there tonigth sometime, it might be dark but ill still get pics.
right, ive never seen the diffarence between mustard yellow and jamacia yellow. i pressumed these were the same from what i had read about them over the years.
so what colour is this one below (this should be jamacia yellow) and who has a pic of the other colour?

ill get the pics of this nova sr tonight. to be honest i wont be able to afford it myself, well main reason being i dont have the space as the supra is going back on the drive tonight as the sr is now legal.
from what i have heard it is an original car but has started being stripped. i dont think its too bad from how it has been explained to me, but providing the shell's main structure is sound and if its in re-pairable condition i will be putting it up on offe on here for one of you to hopefully restore.
if you havent seen it before heres the supra :D its been in max power but was in a 7colour flip paint, several sprays later here it is.

The really early Yellow SR's were Jamican and the later ones were Mustard
boyle your close, the top one is mustard and although the bottom one looks like jamaica yellow its actually mustard as well. jamaica was available between 83-87 and mustard was 87-90.
Freddies nova is mustard as well, I sold him most of the brown interior for it, iirc the paint code for jamaica yellow is 427, as seen on the slam panel. :thumb:

Yeah, looked better than it actually was TBH. Bodywork wise it was spot on, but it needed attention everywhere else and the interior was wrong (GSi :wtf:)
Still loved it though, I'd still have it if I hadn't lost my job mid way through ownership.
I only lost about a grand on it in 4 months :roll:
^ Ah no way mate! That was a lovely looking Nova! :(
gotta say I'm, a fan of Jamaica yellow SR's but Mustard ones are pretty rare - don't think Ive ever seen one in the flesh except the one my mate got bought for passing his driving test back in 1988! Was stunning too!

thats jamacian yellow!!
Any update? pics?
Seconded.
i doubt very much he went and looked at it. so no point replying
its actualy been found now. 3 nova's in about a half mile radius. beleive to be a yellow sr as it says sr on the boot and has the vinyl on the bottom of the doors ect ect.
i've not had a chance to pop past yet but im gonna try tonight so i can get pics ect aswell.
along with the yellow one is a white nova believed to be an sr aswell. then about 5-10mins walk away is another white nova lol comp th's on it and a cage i think.
anyway im hoping to get there while its still light for some pics and to check out its general condition to see if its worth saving. worst case il have to go over the next couple of days if i cant get to it today.
we shall see :D
