My old Nova Turbo shell, I swore I'd never do this but I want to see what it looks like!

Any ideas?

I know how you feel. I would pay good money for my Red SR - J250 DYJ. Regardless of condition.

didnt even know you had sold it!

Never seen it on the vaux seen, so must either still be being built, or owned by someone who isnt interested in shows/net etc.

DVLA says its currently SORN-ed, due for renewal in October. Looks like its still out there somewhere, in storage for the moment!

Broke up with an old girlfriend and I wanted to keep the house that we owned together so it was either my cars or the house....

In hindsight, I wish I had kept the cars and sold the house... as some of you know, i was diagnosed with something pretty nasty recently so 2 years later I may have to sell the bloody thing anyway!

Hey dude!

Stop worrying about the old car, it was at it's best when it was bright red with the Ronals ;)

Just get yourself on the road to recovery, you can worry about cars/houses later.

P.S. Give me a text when you're back home.

I hate it when you sell a car and someone f*cks it up..

Last seen at Universal salvage, burnt out:

Shell was condemed and crushed..

Sometimes you think.. "Why did I sell it?"..

And I sold for almost the same reason as you Breeny although it was to GET a house lol!

Real shame. When you listed the shell Breeny the pics made it look brown, despite the BMW red colour.

It looks pretty phat on the trailer there. I'm sure it will return. It wouldnt be sorn'd otherwise, more like scrapped.

Even bigger shame for that Lotus Carlton, hell I'd drive a 2.0 8v replica!

Hopefully its being sorted/rebuilt

IIRC his bitch smashed it up with a golf club and reversed it into a wall with the door open, so all in all it went to a safe home lol. Novacabrio knows more info though.

Get well soon Breeny mate:thumb: Don't forget although that shell looked nice painted up it had had a chequered past and wasn't as mint as it looked really
