no bonnet or door decals - poss resprayed after a crash and fitted up with GTE stuff?

cant see the top of the dashboard enough

[Anton]

j reg mk2 though wtf :?

[novaboy_southwest]

or maybe a gsi lump was put in a gte shell gte engine could have blown up and the only engine they could get was a gsi

[Anton]

been reshelled?!

[Dan]

dont forget the change over year was on the h plate so could of been a mk1 left over and unsold, hence it got its registration when sold a year later :?

[courtenaynova]

true! could be!

Hence there are L reg Nova's and K reg Corsa's popping around!

But that is the first J plate with Mk1 face I have ever seen

[Chris LR]

Well I'll say one thing about it, it's not worth ?1.8k......

[bob]

thats odd, then again,sat at my vauxhal dealers forecourt in lincoln is a corsa B 1400 sport, in arden blue, on an 02 plate,so I suppose it could be true :)

[Nova-Boy]

could just have been a misprint or someone who doesn't know what car they had.

[Dan]

but if it was a misprint etc etc then why does it look like a j in the photo lol

[Chris LR]

Saw a 51reg Mini a while back, thought they stopped em on X, Y?

[Nova-Boy]

J reg 1.2i with Mk1 bumpers or something? Could even be nicked with a different plate (not likeley though)? I dunno. Just doesn't seem right thought does it somewhere along the line. If it wasn't a bit strange then it wouldn't be on here. :?

[Stuart]

maybe because your old and going blind ;) lol

i recon its jsut due to the change over years i mean ive got a mk2 H plate and ive seen H plate Mk1's.

these things happen when dealers and manufacturers get lazy at the end of a run

[burgessovsalford]

If it is because of the change over of years, then surely they would have still named it a nova GTE? not GSI?

[Ste_Nova]

no sunroof = not gsi

says sunroof in the add and you can sort of see it aswell :)

[jkhilton]

if you want to find out for certain what it is, why not just phone the company and ask?!?!

[Fester]

i know what it is - fucking dodgy lol

as said it would be a 'GTE' not 'GSI' if it was on a late plate

[Anton]

j plate gte tho?!

[Fester]

if its a 1992 then its a really late J? GTE was only 88-90 anyway, so you can see some 91 registered ones coming through but this is sketchy

someone phone them up and ask for more details i.e. catalytic converter!
