[nova_stee]

mk 1 astra estate on the left mmmm

[Bubba]

is that a commer down bottom right :d

[peester]

yes a comma lol..
i spot one red nova saloon middish of the pic; back-to-us..
Mostly fords :-s
i cant tell what the white car is again parked backwards; in front of the blue sierra where theres a couple of parking bays empty.. - middle/right of the pic. Old peugeot 304/5 or summat..?

Have to say a nice warming range of colours there in the old school days; yellows reds n blues.. nowadays it'd be just black, silver and white lol

[Balley]

1 its a red 2dr loon :)

[tom reid]

I spotted three, then though to myself, "what sort of sad Busturd counts cars in a pic?"lol

[bmw156]

i counted possibly 8

enlarge the pic via the link.

I think the White car is a datsun 120y but can't make it out too
Much as I am on a phone

[peester]

^ ooh could be aye

[Connor]

Wonder how many of the cars in the picture still exist, thats more of a challenge lol

[tom reid]

Sure your not mistaking Escorts or Metro's?

[Calamity Josh]

I can see 5

[Royston]

I think there is one red saloon, but 2 Rover SD1'slol

[bmw156]

my guesses lol

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c325/bmw156/achtergrondklein.jpg

[Spudly]

I think only one of those is a nova, the rest are a couple of talbot sunbeam/sunrise's, the white four door loon is an orion, the silver one near the back is an escort, i think there is only the red two door loon.


And the white one discussed on the las page is indeed a Datsun Sunny, 120Y, my dad had one and funnily enough we were just talking about it about five mins ago lol

[Balley]

Agreed with Spud

[Royston]

my guesses lol

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c325/bmw156/achtergrondklein.jpg

Are all wrong except the Red saloon, all the others are ford escort/orions, except the red car on the back row, which I think is a opel rekford / carlton;)

[Royston]

The lastest registration I can see is the B reg Fiesta mk2 so guessing @ '84, nova's were available but weren't that many about became more popular after then.

There is a MB camper there too, I have one currently in my back garden:roll:

[Southie]

Only the red saloon mentioned is what I see.

Here's another picture to have a go at.

[Spudly]

I think maybe thats one cut off at the edge of the pic, next to the chevette on the right, but other than that i cant see any lol

[Bubba]

yes a comma lol..

now ark it :p

[mk1nova_rich]

nice light blue Mk2 Escort near the bottom :cool: look at the shoddy Metro parking lol

[Southie]

I think your wrong though so keep looking, it's the wheres Wally of Novas is this thread lol

[Jack]

Only the red one in the original pic, the white one is an Onion. The 4dr wasn't released until May '85, so I reckon its a good bet thats not a Nova.

Second pic.... no idea, its tiny lol

[edit] I did spot a few dolomites in both pics though lol

[edit again] White 2dr in second pic

[edit thrice lol] Having said that about 4drs not being around, the second pic does have a the back end of a brown car in the bottom left that looks possibly a little nova-ish?

[Hayley]

Compare those pics to a random pick of a modern car park...

[Jack]

:thumb:
i was thinking the excat same thing, car parks back then would of been so much more exciting lol.

p.s count how many black/silver cars are in the first two pics

[Royston]

There's more nova's in my garage than these photo's lol (4 in the main shed, and two elsewhere)

Great to see though...old photos, I like the ones in practical classics showing town centre 30/40 years ago;)

now ark it :p

lol! my bad; didnt even realise ide spelt it differently/wrongly - just liked the way it was one of the first replies lol; i thought the same when i saw the pic.

[Elstro1988]

I was too busy drooling over all the 80s tin to count...back in the day when people actually bought cars in colours rather than sodding silver.

[Sturge]

There's 2 in the first pic and one in the 2nd, anyone that says otherwise is wrong :p

[steg1970]

Bottom right just entering the pic.

Mk1 XR2 - Sweet my first hot hatch.

Plus loads of Mk2s - worth a fortune now.

[burgo]

i counted possibly 8
you really didnt

[maddogdaz666]

2 i think! if thats one poking in on the bottom right.

[mowgli]

pic one, i'd say the red saloon in the foreground is a vw derby... but i'd put money on the beige one on the top right near the cf camper being a nova.. i can't think of any other mfr using parchment beige.

[Royston]

.. i can't think of any other mfr using parchment beige.

Ford did lots of beige, there's some up therelol

[mowgli]

i still think it looks more like a nova.

[Marc]

2, the red one at the back, then there is a beige looking 2 door loon (looks like a Opel Corsa A from the front badge)

[Jack]

The beige one at the back, I still reckon thats a Ford. Just looks too much like the one with the door open, badge looks oval, indicators look a touch large.

The red one is deffo a saloon though. Next to it, whats that blue thing with the mashed back end? Looks almost like an old celica the way the rear lights and bumper are, but there's no passenger door mirror

[Andy]

Indeed.Ford did a "Tuscan Beige"

[Marc]

The beige one at the back, I still reckon thats a Ford. Just looks too much like the one with the door open, badge looks oval, indicators look a touch large.[/img]

I was looking at the one in the second row to the left of the Mk 2 Escort estate, but i now know it's not a Nova.

[tony k]

i spotted four

[Joe Richardson]

Them pics are taken from carpark at cliffords tower in york ;)
