It's too funny that this myth about new shells appears every 3 months ...

There's a place in N.Ireland called fintona autospares that did have some new 4 door shells a couple of years ago I think, I was looking for a 3 door at the time so was now good to me. No idea if they've still anything around or not.

New shell?

Spain ??

Me thinks piss take!

If someones serious get onto our friends in china, they will be able to make them!

Also, vaux had some, for development cars and stuff, maybe they have some in a unit somewhere??

I very much doubt you'll find a new shell . . . But you never know what Vauxhall are capable of.

But if not . . .

. . . Maybe there's a Nova lying around in a Vauxhall College somewhere which they've used to train apprentices on, highly unlikely but might be worth a shot!

You can still get new, unregistered Sierra RS500 shells, because that a car worth keeping alive.

You cant get new, unregistered Nova shells anywhere, becuase when it boils down to it, they are/were a sheet car cheaply made for the masses.

daewoo made the pontiac leMans, which was identical to the nexia, which was based on the astra mk2/kadett platform, which in turn was based on the astra mk1 platform

the daewoo started production in 1986, the astra mk2 was launched in 1984
