It has been seen in many styles. Was really light blue (almost white), then it went pink with pink Speedlines, got crashed and ended up pink and white with blue checks seperating the colours.

Not sure on Fast Car but it was in TV when it was all pink. You might be thinking of Damian Pitmans which looks similar to the one above and was round at that time.

so in the pic above has the colour been photshopped aswell?have you any pics of damian pitmans?(is that the one that looks roughly the same but has polycarbs in?)

[Lee H]

No, Nick painted it white when he got it IIRC then broke it and used the engine and some other parts on the red one he has now.

No pics of Damians, sorry.

[Big_Chap]

Ah, the one with the chequre plate scuttle cover? Yeah that other one sounds about right, similar style and seats, I have the mag up the loft somewhere!

Yes Lee's correct, my old car that was previously martin hills... that picture originally looked like this..........

But I actually think that photoshop looks pretty cool! I actually bought it white and all I did was paint and add gsi bumpers and paint the speedlines too. That shell died some years back unfortunatly. All the good parts on the car were swapped onto the red one I currently have.

Benn.... Id like to see some of its other features if you dont mind posting some pics etc up.. The only one I have is when its all pink in tv.

any one got a spec on this nova

[MARTIN KELSON]

Actually bumbped into Martin Hill couple of weeks ago at Shakespere County dragstrip.
He & his dad are now into MKII Escorts.

When the Nova was in its chequer phase it was a copy of a bodyshell i used to run when i raced radio controlled cars.
Bit of useless info for you all!!

It must have been 50kgs heavier with paint!

Nice bit of nostalgia. I liked Martin Hill's Nova in its early days & it went full circle & ended up pretty cool again. I went out on the pi** once with Martin too (more useless trivia)

Talking of Damien Pitmans Nova, it actually still exists & is mid rebuild (though has been for years). Its BMW Dakar Yellow now, still with all the Fearless bits & grey bumpers.

[edit] Old pic of Martins circa 2002 IIRC.

[peester]

lol.. was suprised to see my photoshop (just a quick one i did for mike LOTNSR, as i hope his looks like that when its done) i posted it up on his project thread ages ago..
M.H's old nova in that form in that pic has been a inspiration for me for years. Big fan.

[twellsie]

does any one have anymore pics of when Martins nova was in painted Porsche Hellblau?

Believe it or not, all the pics Benn posted before the Pink pics (excluding the std Red paint) are actually Porsche Hellblau. It takes some good photography to show the Blue colour. It always looks white.
