My Stunning/concourse well spec'd nova 16v T45. (Price Reduced)

[Nick J]

Hi all,

As stated on my wip thread a short while ago Ive decided to part with the nova! I have new ideas/ventures that Id like to attempt and need the cash to do so hence my decision. I feel Ive gone as far as I can with this car and have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of owning this car and watching it progress from just a clean nova to one that is considered to be up there with the best out there. Its only seen dry weather use since being built up from a shell approx 5 years ago. Ive done my best to make sure every part that has been added or maintenance that has been carried out has been done so with the upmost care and attention to detail. People who know me and my work know how fussy I am! Ive also tried my best to price the car fairly considering its high specification and stunning condition throughout. It currently has around 11 months mot and is taxed until the end of september at which point it will as usual come off the road for winter. Every body panel is immaculate and the underside has never had any issues come mot time either and is heavily waxoiled throughout as are all cavitys I could get at! Id really like to see the car go to some one who will treasure it as I have. Its never wanted for anything and If I cant get good money for it then I wont sell and just carry on enjoying it so please no silly offers. A quick insight see's the engine/box build recieipts run into approx 3k alone just for parts/carbon fibre at over 1.5k etc! You can soon see where the money and effort have gone. please read my wip thread on the links below to see the cars progression and or pm/u2u for anymore details.

Price is £4850 ono (slightly negotiable as there may be a part or two Id like to keep but this can be discussed etc) :)

Hi Simon,

Make it to trax fella, have a look and if you like what you see you could always give me a deposit and I'll gladly hold it for you. Im in no rush at all. And if it was going to you I know it would be looked after so Id be happy. Ive Just been out in it tonight.... Its like a scud missile compared to the streetka! lol I did consider offering you a deal on the vx but Im afraid we dont have the cash amount in difference to do so at the minute.

Im afraid Simon didnt buy it. As he couldnt come and see it until next weekend. As far as I know the couple that bought it are not members on here but its actually sold to a female! She did say however that she'll do her best to keep it clean. :)
Gutted as Ive just had to cancel my tv feature that was booked for wednesday.

Gutted Nick, as we spoke for length on the phone last night, was obvious to me and you that I wanted it.

Unfortunately I guess i've been stung by being so far away!

Glad you got what you wanted though and you're on your way to a mk1 LET!!

[Nick J]

The thing is as we know when you have a nova priced similar to what mine was you have a very limited market for people willing to spend that sort of cash on a nova regardless of their condition. I didnt want to be still trying to sell the car after a year which is what happened to Nick cairo and brett warbuton. So when the couple turned up with the cash and a price agreed as much as I wanted to keep it until the feature was done I was willing to let them take it. Who knows if they had gone away and thought about it some more they may have decided to buy something else instead. I didnt want to potentially miss out on the sale for the sake of having the feature. Having a good amount of cash in my pocket to me was worth letting the car go. Who knows maybe my next nova will be good enough to have featured. :)

Adam...... Yes I was very happy with what I got for the car all said and done. Plus I got to keep my stubby mirrors too!

Simon..... Im only sorry you didnt buy it. By the sounds of what they said its going to get lots of use!
