[astradaryl]

i looked for one for six months and couldnt find a decent one in my area so i settled for a astra in the end

[stupot89]

[auzzy-b]

No.. theres always between 40-50 on piston heads and loads on ebay? i think its DECENT novas that are rare nowlol but then again i hardly ever see any up my way

[vaughanmc]

Very very rare up my way as well

Apart from the ones I have and my mate I see 2

A blue Merit+ on Speedlines and Stevie's 1650cc 8v GSi rep

[wwmnw]

I can think of a few, counting up I counted 11 in my area (by my area I mean 20 miles in all directions)

[Annie]

one county which seems to have loads of novas is dorset when i was down there on holiday in poole & around that area I counted 14 in the 7 days I was there couldnt believe it.

[General Baxter]

[Jack]

PH ones are usually overpriced or old ads though. The cheap <£500 ones get snapped up pretty sharpish.

There's a few round my way, but I think mine is the only regular one in my immediate area. Don't even see Ash out in his lol

[vxr_racing_2008]

I can think of about 8 within 15 miles of me, but that is not including my 5 lol

[auzzy-b]

C20 TBO, nice plate for a let too. Couple of mk1 novas, B and E reg. Minters driven by old men. I can never catch them in time to make them an offer lol

[General Baxter]

[hybridturbo]

[General Baxter]

ummm has he made it home yet ? lol

[brainsnova]

if nova's had been better treated in the past there would be plenty but due to rust and garages overcharging for repairs etc they got scrapped.

[Nebbz]

its hard to find a clean specimen that hasnt had loads of plastic added to it, or some gash jap kit added to it, but i picked mine up for £350 quid 20 miles south :) although i never really see any on the road, and people always seem shocked to see mine o_0
