Will be a good read, think it's still with the owner who purchased it off Courtenay back in the day.

I thought that too - Said to a mate it's either Mark Watt's old Nova or A16VTB
Should be interesting anyway - I wonder when the Crail write-up will be in it
Im sure i remember reading somewhere about A16VTB being in TV
Will be buying that if it is, then finding the owner, and offering obscene amounts of money for it lol - or not...but i'll buy the mag, one of the top Nova's ever.

Iirc was h16vtb not the first c20let? The others where turbo'd c20xe's?

** runs off to check a 1996 magazine feature lol **
I think it'll be the green one, didn't someone say Mark's had a hard life one he sold it? and I think the pink one could do with bringing back to it former glory before it featured again
Big Chap is correct, A16VTB was originally a turbo XE, however it later had LET fitted.
H16VTB was a LET from the start - not bad considering that was 1995/6 when the Cally T had only been out 2-3 years!

Think your right there but last i heard H16 VTB was in bits.
H16VTB is owned by elgan - I thought about buying it a while ago.

Yeah last I saw it elgan had it in wip, was just saying that it was c20let, not that it is the featured car next month, be very interesting to see what a16vtb is upto these days!
Think your right there but last i heard H16 VTB was in bits.
It was and was being sold off, so he could spend on his awesome red one.
No engine or anything in it.

What did A 16V TB start out as ? A GSi or GTE ?
Had a grey mk2 dash iirc so can't see it being a Gsi
What did A 16V TB start out as ? A GSi or GTE ?
I thought it had a Mk1 dash
Its a reshelled Turbo Diesel shell though. Think the original car was a GTE. As was H16VTB.
Your right Simon I knew it was one of the undesirables lol
I saw it at trax a couple of years back and it still looked cracking! It may have had a freshen up though....... Be a good read regardless!
Here's how it did look before going dark green and running allesios........

Yeah A16VTB was a reshelled (red, plough) SR which went into a van shell.
Didnt it go off to ASW at some stage?
As for Mark Watt's old car, I saw it at TRAX a few years ago after all the talk of it being ruined & it looked well, only lacking a grille.
You sure thats the same car Nick?

Check the reg.
Btw Nick that A20LTB.. Different car again, which was a white GTE turbo & ended up looking like the above. It was owned by a greek guy, Paul Theodoffit. The car is seen in that MAX Power feature, hiding in the back ground on the Wolfrace Genesis wheels.

Im sure I was told it was...... not 100% though.
Edit ..... Craig green knows all, Rep added!
Nick.
Craig, I want to rob your brain for a day for all your Nova trivia!

I've also heard that it was a van shell as well and they cut and welded a new roof on for the tilt/slide sunroof.

Correct. All this info was in one of the early PNG News mags. It was featured accross 2 mags. There were pics of Jon Shields SR & when it was rolled. Apparently it sat at Courtenay for ages until being built. It was the 1st XE conversion they were going to build, but Chris Courtenay offered a turbo conversion for the engine if John got the XE in their to start with. LOL
