Scrapped. lol

IIRC that one was in a twin feature in Max around the mid-late 90's.
Looks familiar, but it may just be as it looks a bit like Seimon/Symon/Simons awesome Porsche peppermint mk1. lol

Would be cool if it's still about. As said, why's the date of liability missing from your info E reg Nova? lol
I went onto the DVLA licensing bookmark but the site has changed again and CBA to look for it to check myself.

WTF is going on with those headrests BTW?

I was thinking maybe 160bhp/170lbft tourqe?

But could also be wheels £160/Tyres £170

160/170 refers to a Courtenay conversion for the red top, the horsepower/torque figures.


And it seems to have rear headrests which makes them look odd.

I failed I forgot to type torque too.
Now we know lol.

Wonder if he was saving the £6K+ for an LET.
Headrest fail IMO!

I heard the rumours that he still has it garaged, not seen it for years though, iirc that picture was taken at the old NW meet spot, the Cheadle Royal in Manchester

Picture taken by me at Cheadle Royal, Sptember 1996 and clearly stolen from the @Old Skool@ thread. . .

Jon was studying his degree at Salford Uni when I worked there up until 1996, studying Aeronautical Engineering.

Jon was one of the founding members of the OLD PNG and his car was on the back of all the membership cards. . . . .

Jon butchered the arches in 1997/8 to fit 17" Venoms (I sh1t you not!) but legend indeed has it that it's part-stripped since 2000 awaiting a mega rebuild.

The stickers are related to the engine output.

The old skool thread is the only place ive managed to find pictures of this car so far. but wtf i didnt steal them ? i didnt claim they were my pictures.

and you said you took that picture in 2006, you mean 1996 ?

So rumour is that its garaged up somewhere awaiting to be rebuilt, does the owner come on this website or anyone have any recent pics of the car ?

I am interested in this car lol

I'm pretty sure the owner hasnt been heard of in Nova circles for ages & that does mean before interweb times.

Shame, as I really liked it too. I had the Max Power issue with that feature. Theres a few bits & stickers I'd remove, but the look of the body & the old skool SR rainbow interior look awesome.
