Nova Rally Car 1400cc - Breaking For Spares

[novarally]

I've just acquired this Nova rally car along with a lot of spares. The shell is tatty and the whole car is going to be broken for parts.

I'm simply going to put up a few photos and the spec. list.

If you are seriously interested in anything, then please e-mail me at;

colinesmith@aol.com

I WILL NOT REPLY ON THIS THREAD, OR TO PM's, E-MAILS ONLY PLEASE.

Vauxhall Nova 1.4 rally car plus a fairly extensive spares package. The car is MSA logbooked and has a current MOT certificate which expires 5th July 2011.
In terms of the bodywork, being honest, this can only be described as tatty. There are plenty of the usual battle scars associated with rallying such as dents and scratches. The car was recently hand painted in yellow. If you are looking for pristine bodywork this is not the car for you. That said it is solid and there is no real rot anywhere.[/font]

No idea how to get rid of all the ridiculous text above (help!) - I haven't got time to sit there and delete it all manually.

The photos will tell most of the story;

Colin, have you copied and paste the text from word or something i think that will be the reason for it.

Thanks for that Keith, much appreciated.

[novarally]

BTTT.

A lot of the parts from the Corsa are now on EBAY, and the Corsa rolling shell is being put up for auction from tonight.

It's a fantastic basis for a track or rally car, literally just needing engine, gearbox and seats/belts to complete it.

[joshy]

how much for 4 of the compomotive wheels off the yellow nova?

thanks

[Southie]

Joshy, read his signature ;)

[joshy]

I've just picked up a 1300cc Nova rally car today (with MSA logbook). It's been unused for 6 years, so will need some re-commissioning, but it's running and has some good bits on it and will be a competitive car again. Highlights of it include;

Wide arch kit
Mattig fibreglass bonnet
Bias pedal box
QUAIFE quick rack
Decent 1300 on Weber 40 DCOE's
QUAIFE F10 SCCR five speed gearbox with LSD
Aeroquip brake lines throughout
Disc braked rear beam

Photos and more info. to follow soon. I will probably be selling this one as a complete car.
