You might as well post the link now you've started the thread you numpty lol 1300 is uber low miles.

[muzzy]

It is a nice one lol I want it quite a bit

[vaughanmc]

Nah I better not - I'll send it via MSN to you fella :)

[LEWI007]

PM me it and ill post it up lol

Surely its a typo ?

[kent14sr]

Sounds genuine I guess from the advert

A few "low mileage" ones on there

Photos of it hardly help its cause though!

[vaughanmc]

Just have a look on Pistonheads for it mate - I've emailed to see how much they want for it :)

Youve said its on pistonheads so why the feck wouldnt you post the link? everyone will go looking for it anyway, why nt just post it!!

10/10 quality of pics!

[vaughanmc]

A member of the PNG got upset the last time I posted a link similar to this so I just thought I'd inform instead of posting the link and running the risk of upsetting someone again

[AlexW]

Stupid posting the thread then? Durrr

[John]

p/h links are only banned if you're selling iirc?

[vaughanmc]

No idea mate...Just didn't want to upset anyone

[mowgli]

if it was always garaged, why has the sun faded the dealer sticker so much??

and it would have averaged 223 miles per year!!!!!!!!

my guess is 101300 miles

i would want to see the service history.

[vaughanmc]

Definately one to investigate :) That's why I said in the thread title 'Supposed...'

[kent14sr]

Prob low mileage of 30/40/50k and then had speedo head replaced at some point

With 1300 miles it should be almost showroom condition if its been garaged all its life surely

[Benn]

Posting the link if how we find stuff to buy.

Its how i found my leather..lol

[vaughanmc]

Damp garage though ? 1300 is still a lot of miles

Anything could happen within 10 miles...

[vx kev]

Looks like a nice find for someone, genuine mileage on not :thumb:

If posting a link is all people have to worry about they need to get a LIFE!
Fair doo's in the For sale threads but otherwise all your doing is pointing peeps in the right direction surely :confused:

I was once told its better for a car to be outside than a damp garage as outside least it dries out in the sun - so you could be right

Let us know when he gives you a price!

[vaughanmc]

Will do mate :thumb:

[muzzy]

I wouldn't be fussed on if the mileage was genuine if it was clean and sensibly priced.

[Andy_L]

Original tyres?! Why do people say this, it's not a good thing on a car this old.

And Vaughn you upset me for being pedantic.

[vaughanmc]

What's pedantic ?

[LEWI007]

If its genuine mileage and its mint, it should be put in a museum.

[Jack]

lol, seized engine and four new tyres please

[mowgli]

when i got mine with 8000 odd miles on the clock, the 1.0 engine was leaking like a seive, including the valve seals, and the tyres were all perished.

[Andy_L]

lol, seized engine and four new tyres please

+ brakes and wheel bearings I'd imagine

[nova 2L 16V]

When I got mine 2 years ago with 18k on the clock i knew it was genuine miles, you get a feel for it, plus having a 1 eldery owner from new helps lol. All i can say is if its mint and the price is right grab it as novas will only go up in value in a years to come.

[Ben]

Stupid posting the thread then? Durrr

lol

In the instance of an ebay link i can understand it as more intrest will up the price, on PH first come first served not like you sit there watching it for a week first.

[NOVA-KID-93]

Posting the link if how we find stuff to buy.

Its how i found my leather..lol

:d

[db_1.2]

Is it missing a wing mirror?

[mowgli]

Is it missing a wing mirror?

boggo basic models only had one door mirror

[nova1992]

WOW. i want :)

[sparky]

Be nice if he actually posted a price though.

[craig green]

It looks clean enough for 1300 miles or 1k.

The faded sticker could just be crap & fade prone anyway, or the car is parked in a garage with a window???

I actually like the look of it a lot, but I have always thought that such a car of that sort of average mileage would need a strip down of things like wheel bearings & CV's etc & replace the grease, likewise you'd be pretty naive to think the tyres will be capable of any real traction. But it is something to brag about its originality that it has the 4 original tyres etc.

Nice car for someone in the right hands.

[wwmnw]

I'm dubious about that, my Nova says 01500 (obviously its 101500 and it looks every mile of that) wouldn't take too long to spruce it up and make it look like it had done 1500 miles.

[Edd]

It does look very clean, be interesting to know how much it is tho.

[nova_saloon]

wow thats mint. looks lke it just rolled out the factory

[Edd]

Probably sell for £1k more now it's been posted on here ! lol

You'll never make a 100k car look like a genuine 1k mile car no matter what you do.

There is no way I could clean up any of my other Novas to the standard of the 7k Flair I have.

Decs Sport is a good example, it's a very very clean car, but just doesn't look "original", it still has a restored look about it. (I'm not taking anything away from the car by the way, I'd love it!!)

[L14MNP]

wow thats mint. looks lke it just rolled out the factory
Yeah. An Escort van with no visible rust! lol

[dj_wudgey]

as stated this pics really dont help give the impression off a low miler!!

[novacabrio]

now has the price of £2000 on it

[vaughanmc]

Aye, £2k ONO - He replied to my email

[muzzy]

£2000 for a standard basic spec 23 year old Nova :tard:

[scott.parker]

TBF looking at them crap pics it probably is as advertised, and loads will doubt it, and not bother to buy, so it will end up going cheep in the end! lol

[Olly755]

Worth every penny and more.

Either throw around £500-1000 at it re-commissioning it, and you basically have a brand new Nova on the road. Can you get a new car for under £3k? No.

Or tuck it away as a collectors item: it certainly won't go down in value.

Or would make a cracking base for a non sunroof rally or show car. Think along the lines of how much a brand new shell would cost?

Once Novas go historic rallying (in a couple of years), prices for shells and works bits are gonna skyrocket. You heard it here first ;). So get it bought while it's cheap.

It will sell.

[Edd]

I think it's worth that if it's hasn't rotted away in a damp garage.

It will sell for that, surprised it's not gone already tbh, I also think he could of asked more for it than £2k.

[Derick-Sport]

exhaust tailpipe looks fresh the steering wheel looks shiny/worn, wouldnt fork out the 2k myself though

[SRimon]

I think it's worth that if it's hasn't rotted away in a damp garage.

I'd agree, all pending condition.

Here here...

You can re create originality, you can only buy it. If the mileage is correct worth in the region of that figure IMO...

[vaughanmc]
