As today is the Saloon's last day road legal until I re-tax, re-MOT & re-insure it (SORNing it until July) I thought I would spruce it up and take some recent photos as haven't taking any in a year. The car is still sitting under 13.5k on the clock.

Took about 100, but deleted all the crap ones once I saw them full size.

The 1.0 in it looks so clean, it would be a bit of a shame to get rid of it. Plus there can't be that many 1.0 Nova's left with everyone else ripping them out.

Cheers very much for the comments guys.

I like the opposite effect the engine has, been asked so many times if I'm running a "Red Top Mista?" or a "Turbo wiv boost?" lol , "nah a 1.0", but when you open the bonnet their disgust is extinguished due to the cleanliness of the engine and bay.

Thanks all, again.

prob the cleanest nova ive ever seen.
under the bonnet looks immaculate.

Absolutely awsome looking Shaun

How do you find it handles on those tyres ? We never had mine out on the road with those but we tried the later type of Wanli's and they were utter rubbish...

Thanks mate.

The tyres are fine, not had any issues.
