Forsale is my mate's Nova 1.6 GTE track car

Used to be Flame Red but has been painted by the previous owner in a light purple colour

Has a supposed 140 BHP tuned 1600 GTE engine but I don't think it can be proven I'd need to see him if theres any printouts or that

Has a drivers bucket seat and harness, passenger Nova Sport seat and harness, Nova Sport 6-dial clocks, 3 spoke steering wheel and a bolt-in rollcage (Unsure of make)

Has some grooved brakes on the front as well IIRC and LEDA suspension all round (Coilovers on the front)

Will come with 14" Mk2 Astra SX alloys with track tyres on them

Please do not contact me, contact Greg - His email address is greg__mcclure@hotmail.com

£1000 ONO - Genuine GTE shell, in good condition (Not mint as it needs a wee bit of welding here and there but as a whole it's nearly perfect)

I can say that this car used to go well when it did the sprints & hillclimbs, would be ideal for using in those competitions with a bit of work.

Build it to the same spec and see how much it would cost - Suspension I've been told is close to £1k to buy

Anyway, it's no my car

A couple of minor bits of welding I reckon is all it would need

Engine sounds really good, no smoke or rattles either

Sounds very very nice actually lol

can you get pics of the welding it needs mate and what his lowest price is mate

vaughanmc

I'll speak to him and see what all needs welding or if you email him he'd be able to tell you and I'll get pictures

Looks quite rough in the pictures but as a whole it's very clean - Engine bay seams are dead on, underneath is all Undersealed, boot floor is dead on :)

No idea what his lowest price would be Dougie - Quite a bit of car for £1k as it is

He only knows about a wee bit needed in the front inner wing...

He's in the middle of doing the brakes atm freeing them all off and new pads in the front I think

He said the lowest he'd take is £950

We had a look at it and I think the boy who had it previous to Greg had a genuine GTE and this base model shell (Rotten GTE)

Took all the good stuff from the GTE (Engine, box, loom, shafts, brakes, rear beam etc) and put it into this base model shell

It's still on the original ID so hasn't been rung or anything dodgey
