:cry: don't want to have to do this, but needs must - due to an expanding family - and I hardly ever use it :roll:

The car is being mot'd on Wednesday next week so will have 12 months mot and 6 months tax and can be viewed after next Sunday. I've owned the car for about 8 months now and have spent quite a bit on it - but hey, that's cars lol It now drives and handles 100% spot on and is a seriously quick nova. The car will be put on PistonHeads next Monday once it's been mot'd.

Few pics of the car taken a few months ago.............

330BHP & 331LB-FT NOVA C20LET TURBO

The car was built by the previous owner and had a bare metal re-spray inside and out and is finished in Seat Cupra ‘R’ yellow. The car started life as a 1.2 Spin and had only covered 33,000 miles before the conversion was finished in 2007, I have the previous m.o.t certificates to prove this. The car has had a lot of money spent on it and no expense has been spared. It has also had a lot of work done at a company called ‘X-Sport Racing’ who specialise in building performance cars. Everything on the car has been replaced, only the shell with original rear arches and doors were kept. The engine was fully re-built at the time of the conversion and has only covered approx 8000 miles since. I have receipts for thousands and have spent a lot of money on the car since owning it myself – making even better than it was when I purchased it last year.

The car only gets used at weekends and during the summer. I had the car set-up on a rolling road a few months back (have graph to prove) which included checking the cars fueling. The car is now running 20psi via the AVCR and producing 330bhp & 331lb-ft with 270bhp at the wheels. This car is very fast and is not for the faint hearted. The car is not mint and is not a show car, it has been built to be used and driven, like all cars should be. It does have the odd mark on it here and there, but as you can see from the pictures it is in very good condition, I am being as honest as I can. The car is only being sold due to a new addition to the family and lack of use.

No time wasters please, this is a seriously quick car. It weighs circa 800-850kgs. It will do 0-100mph in around 9 seconds, has a top speed of around 160mph+ (on private roads) and has around 400bhp per ton = super car performance.

Price is £4950 and is not open to offers or part exchange.



Please only post if your seriously intersted in the car - price is not open to offers as quite simply if it doesn't sell for what i'm asking i'll strip it as it's easily worth that in bits alone.

The cars insured until sept and i'm in no hurry to sell. If it doesn't sell by then, I will strip it. I would rather not go down that route after spending money to get the car sorted - could have done that a while ago. The car now needs to be driven and enjoyed :cool:

Car is no longer for sale, as it's being broken for parts. Most of the bits have interest in and i'm very close to selling the engine :D It's a shame to break it, but it will stay almost complete (panel wise) as it's being sold as a rolling shell and the new owner to be is also puting a let back in it :cool:

I'm going to guess you made more by breaking it ?

The asking price was very fair and realistic if you ask me which is a rare thing to see these days, shame you have to sell, Gav said it was superb.
