i saw that nova in a trade stand at the NEC motor show back in the day, it looked rough as hell, that poor car spent more time on its roof than it did on its wheels

well the 'official' restored one is a fake........it was a sport on the msa paperwork, yet was an a reg 1.3sr originally, until a sport kit was added....so one of the most, if not the most famous sport is also a ringer.

Yep the A DNT reg plate gives it away quite easily as not being originally a Sport

there were a lot of upgraded cars back in the day... and i seriously think some were used to fiddle the homologation figures too.
