Nova Antibes

[krobinson]

Hi Folks,

Does anyone know how many nova antibes were made? And any guess's as to how many surviving examples there are?

Cheers

[Mazz]

Not sure on figures, might have to get in contact with the DVLA i suppose

Tina's got one though!

Thinking of having one keith? (sorry i can't help you with the answer)

[krobinson]

Just something I was thinking about, You rarely see any these days, especially standard, just wondering how limited the run was, maybe they are rarer than a Nova sport now?

I've just checked the original brochure for the antibes and it doesn't say how many were made, it just gives the specs and the four colours

[Mazz]

Andy, imo yours needs the Antibes stripping down the sides and boot :)

Very cool Nova's so they are - These and the later Nova Sting :)

[Andy]

Is it still available mazz??

[MattBrown]

I seriously doubt it kieth.

Theres several round here, old people, and one young lad in one.

And I sell the blue carpets for £100 a throw, so £75 for a clean car isnt too bad lol

[mk1nova_rich]

Meach your car looks spot on mate :thumb:

[Mazz]

Is it still available mazz??

Never check tbh, very much doubt it though :(

i always liked the Antibes, kinda a poor mans SR (back in the day). They came in the cool colours anyway.

[Ben]

My mates just picked up a very clean red antibes from an old boy who has had it garaged for ten years, he rang me up and said i got a nova with a red carpet is it worth anything lol

[Stuart]

I had an antibies crushed when no one wanted to buy the project lol

[Mazz]

:mad: / :cry:

[Stuart]

it wasnt really an antibies anymore anyway.... no interior, no body markings etc lol

'back then' it was just another nova really.

[Mazz]

Suppose its not like you were killing an early SR etc...

[amggsi]

Pics of Mine coming shortly..

The e-bay one or Stevens?!

[faker]

they came in white, red, blue, and metallic grey. i would love one, and a club, and a dart, and a diamond, and a pearl.........

[wwmnw]

Anyone got some proper pics of one? Outside and interior if you please.

[Mazz]

The earliest pics of my first car (now Tinas) - A late version in metallic grey, iirc the flat colours were mostly on D plates

Only changes here were -60mm, SR front bumper & grille, and cloth headrests
