Did Vauxhall ever make/do a Flame Red (E547) Mk1 Nova ?
I thought they were all Carmine Red (E535)
Could someone confirm this for me ?
Cheers in advance;

My Mk2 is Flame Red (547) but so is my G reg Mk1 Nova, it's (547) as well but my friends F plate SR is (535) which is Carmine...
Never ever seen or heard of a Flame Red Mk1...
One of a kind ? lol

I would have said Flame Red came in before the mk2 Nova.
I'm pretty sure some G reg Astra GTE's are flame Red, wheras all the earlier ones upto G are Carmine Red.

Saying that there's a G reg Nova at one of the scrappy's - I should check the VIN plate on it and see what the colour is
Maybe Flame Red came in on the G reg > cars
I had a B reg Sr that was Flame red. Was the original colour too so im saying yes :thumb:
Also had an E reg Sr after that and it was Carmine red, a very noticeable difference...
I thought flame red was 79L?
