Heres my mates 1988 Nova Merit, he got it with 30k on the clock fairly standard, he then put a 1600 8v cavalier engine in it with a kent cam and a 4 branch manifold. It has gone through various interiors including GSi, GTE, MK1 Astra GTE and stripped out with Cobra Monacos and a rollcage.

It is currently off the road at the moment getting a rebuild with a 1600 16v from a Tigra, respray and Irmscher Quad Lights.

My mate would have had it when you say you saw it looking abused. It has had 3 owners since the old lady and he is the only one to have looked after it but was not in a great state by that point hence why it is off the road at the moment.
