Mint Nova SR For Sale

[markfreeman]

The time has finally come when I have to reluctantly part with my car before I move to the States this year. I’ve owned the car for nearly 9 years now and have spent more time and cash on it than I care to remember. It’s been garaged for the last 4 years and done less than 500 miles in the last year and a half.

The engine is still original, as I never got around to working on, or swapping it. It only has a little over 46,500 genuine miles on the clock.

Full list of mods:
- Speedline Allesio II Wheels on Michelin Pilot 195/45/16 tyres
- Fully adjustable Spax RSX coilovers on front, Spax fixed rear shocks with custom wound Coil Spring 89 springs.
- Peter Maiden exhaust
- Toyota Yaris rear wiper
- Monostyle Single wiper
- GSI Front bumper
- GSI sideskirts
- Euro taillight
- Rear headrest conversion
- Momo steering wheel
- Panasonic head unit
- Kenwood 6x9's in customer rear 1/4's
- Custom stubby mirrors
- Astra side repeaters
- Clifford Concept 300 Alarm (Cat 1)
- Security film on all glass

This car is possibly one of the best examples of a Nova of this age that you'll find. It’s had plenty of cash and time spent on it over the years that I’ve owned it to make it as clean as it is today.

There’s plenty of history to document the car including a service book, logbook and endless receipts for parts.

The body needs a little work on the passenger side rear arch where the weather has penetrated the two panels resulting in some rust coming through. Other than that the body and paintwork are still in mint condition and look as good as the day the car was re-painted 6 years ago.

I'm looking for some sensible offers around £3500 at this point so please don't waste my time unless you're really serious about owning this car. Contact Mark on 07976 350810 (No text messages please) or novasr@mac.com.

It's also worth noting that I have loads of original parts from the car which can be worked into the sale – rear door cards, mirrors, steering wheel, rear light cluster, double wiper, stereo, front bumper etc.

How did you do the mirrors mate ?

Free bump! :)

How did you do the mirrors mate ?

Free bump! :)


A lot of time and work went into getting the mirrors right but they're pretty easy to do. Just cut them in the right spot, take out and inch or two and fiberglass them back together. Skim with a thin coat of filler and then paint. Took the glass along with a template of what I wanted to a glass cutters.

Can't believe no one's made a mold and started producing them yet.

nice car free bump

[markfreeman]

also wanting the same info- :thumb:


Cheers for the interest guys.

To be honest I'm at a bit of a loss for what price to be asking for right now. Have been out of the game for a while but after doing some research and dropping a thread in the general chat forum(http://www.pngclub.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1056959#post1056959), I've got mixed ideas of the cars worth.

They'll be an advert in Total Vauxhall this month for £3250 which I personally think is pretty fair for the car. Granted it has a bad arch, but the rest of the shell and paint work is spot on. If anyone's seriously interested in the car but wants to discuss the price I'm happy to do so.

Hope this helps.
Cheers. Mark

[wilson_sri]

Id say thats a very reasonable price. Very clean, pretty original and good history considering your well known around here and had it so long.

Id have it myself if i was on the look for one, good luck with the sale mate.

[s14a]

pm me ur best price please as 3500 is a long way off what il be offerin
thanks

[cole.321]

how much mate and are you close to stockport ?

[Kev Turbo]

great car 3500 is a good price with no arch damage

2ish with arch needed

[novaxe235]

He Only Wants 3250 Not 3500 Alot Of Nova For The money If You Ask Me A Good Body Shop Would Put A Rear Quater On For In The Region Of £600

[Riggy]

^^ yeah about £600 for a good job which makes it nearly a 4k car, which it isnt ,dont get me wrong it is very nice and other then that arch its mint , id prob value it around 2k ish in MY opinion

[VXandy]

Is this still for sale mate? Whereabouts are you?

Thanks

[markfreeman]

Still have the car for sale if there's any more interest.

[markfreeman]

Sold! And gone to a very good home I'm pleased to say.

[Pistol Pete]

To someone off here? Whoever it was got a nice car IMO.

[j100ame]

Should be on the road soon!!!!!
