what edition

[Pete]

went to go look at a nova where i live today,

its a A reg mk1, sprayed in metalic blue colour
had a brown dash. with blanking plates etc,
which the bloke says all came with it, he had fitted a 1600 GTE engine but says it was a 1.3 when he had it.

basically what A reg nova's came with a brown dash bar the early SR's
and came in a metalic blue colour?

A blue one with a brown dash. The brown stuff isnt sport specific, though it seems the door cards minus pockets were.

There are 2 shades of Brown plastics used.

Pics would help.

[wwmnw]

Full reg?

[Pete]

unfortunatly i didnt get any pics as it was a last minute view as i was going past his house.
if it helps it had to black stripes that ran down the wings,doors and rear all around apart from running on the bonnet.

bloke was after £500 for it, in very good condition, only mark i could find was on the drivers wing where theres a little dent on it, dry stored for 9 years :)

Doesn't ring any bells with me and I'm old enough to know

Just looked in an. Brochure printed April 83 and there's no Met. Blue listed, only Met red and silver

[Pete]

hmmm, back in 83, were nova's sprayed behind the dash's? as when we took that off it has a baby blue colour behind there, but rest of the car is in met blue

[Royston]

Just looked at the brochure again and there isn't even a blue colour listed;)

Mysterylol

Anyone got a later brochure?

[Pete]

lol thanks for lookin Roy,
shall have to wait for the pics to be sent to me, then ill fire them up and see if they ring any bells with anyone lol

[Royston]

No GL trim level in it even only :eek:

Nova (base) L and SR;)

[Pete]

the baby blue is simular to these pics, same as the stripes i was saying that run down the wings etc,

Lynz's Seat trim is the Nova (base model) "Domino" and no rubbing strips, L and SR's had rubbing Strips (clip on) according to the brochure;)

Does this narrow it down?

I assume the blue must have been introduced soon after my brochure was printed

[Pete]

it has the rubbing strips on :)

[Royston]

I also have an '87 brochure that listd Merit, L GL and SR trim levels

There is a pic of a GL saloon in a light met blue (Monaco) maybe that is the new colour?;)

Just as a side issue, I have a D plate 1.2 saloon 4dr in red that has a brown dash, grey carpets and cream seats/door cards, origonal but doesn't match:wtf:

[Royston]

it has the rubbing strips on :)

Possibly an L then;)

What is the seat trim, should be Piper Tweed Cloth, (red/black, beige/white, green/white)

The only special addition at the time I can remember at the time was the Swing in Red/White, and was there a brown?

[Royston]

also has the 6 instrument clocks aswell

At the time only SR and GL's had 6 dial intruments (orange needles)


God I am really becoming an Anorak:tard:

[Pete]

as for seats i dont know, as previous owner sold it all off to use it for a track car, so its got 2 vectra seats in at the moment along with the dash, but its a brown dash, with under shelf, 6 instrument clocks with orange needles.
