Hello and happy new year to everyone.
I'm putting together a feature in the mag, which should provide information on how many examples of popular performance Vauxhalls remain, either on the road or SORN.
What I need though, is the exact wording of the car model, as seen on the V5. If you own one of the cars on the list, and you could type the model exactly as it's written, it would be much appreciated.
Here's the list of cars. Anything that's missing that you think should be there, feel free to suggest it. Also, feel free to copy and paste this elsewhere.
My email is drankine@futurenet.co.uk and my tel no is 01225 442244 2951.
Many thanks - Dougie

A mk4 Astra 1.6 turbo? Never heard of that mate :confused:
I've got a limit to the numbers I can search on, so the list I have may be expandable, may get smaller depending on how much it's going to cost.
Thanks for the replies everyone, a search on NOVA BASE with a 1296 cc engine could bring up Nova Sports, as the base was never sold with a 1.3 in any other variant.
Cheers - Dougie

You could be opening a can of worms with the sport, it should say base on the logbook but some say sport and others even say SR, depends how the dealer registered the car.

Well, might as well search on Sport as well and see what comes up then. Be interesting to see what comes back.

My Sport is confirmed as genuine.
Might be worth speaking to Andrew Deurden to see if he would give you a copy of the list of Sport chassis numbers so they can be checked with the DVLA
Oh, could you do me a fave. Can you change the engine codes in the tech spec for a Nova SR & Sport to 13SB instead of 13N.
Just been bugging me for a while:thumb:
