I'd say 1.3SR's are quite rare around here. As are mk1 novas. When compared to mk2 nova's theres very very few mk1's left in my area.

And i havent seen a clean mk1 that hasnt been restored in years!

That dodgy yellow is Gazzelle yellow.

Well who made yours then? Obviously did make them unless yours has been completly resprayed aftermarket.

They might not have made many but they made some if you own one.

Thats what i thought but when i when into vx to get some paint, i gave them the code thats on the vin plate and they said that colour was not an option for the nova, very strange.

lol thats not that strange you can go into a main dealer and ask for a engine for a nova and they will tell you they never stocked them!

Not exactly the most helpful car dealers around!

Best bet is to get the EPC and find the part number yourself then tell them the number and they will then say they dont stock it in the uk anymore :lol:
