That one now has the reg H415 gbd.
The original reg could be made to make his daughters name so it's now on retention and dvla have assigned it a new one.
Bit complicated I know. Lol
Very interesting as H 471EBW

I have a30 rmj that's a 1.3 sr in jam yellow but will be getting registered as a 2 ltr when back on the road this summer
We all know there are loads more than 109 sr novas on the road, most were simply registered as 1.3 hatch.
My original nova was 1st registered as a 1.2 saloon, and it was a 1.2 3dr hatch
On further enquiry from when I first started the thread I can confirm your statement is partly correct but more luck than any thing else as is a pointless sweeping statement - some registrations would be more useful
I originally took the split of SR was between mk 1 and mk2 (a logical deduction) but on further enquiry was split between 1.3 and 1.4 (which make more sense)- therefore at 31/12/2010 there was 131 1.3 SR and 37 1.4Sr LICENCED - ie 168 in total. It all seems relevant as i have a long list of SR which have been scrapped in 2011 and 2012 and the figure is now significantly less - figures for 31/12/2011 to be released 12/04/12! .
The December 2011 figures are more relevant as there is more detail in the year end figures than the quarterly figures
You would be suprised how many SRs that you think exist are no longer LICENCED - many are sorn or unlicenced
You are of course free to open your own thread on the accuracy of the DVLA figures which I will only be glad to add my comments
incidently DVLA are very good and have even confirmed my interpretation of the figures and when i have provided registrations to them the figures are 100% accurate !

found 13 (therefore 18 not found)
of the licenced
- 1 now SORN
- 3 unlicenced (most likely scrapped )
and + 2 sorn now licenced :thumb:
leaving 11 licenced that i know the registrations of
I've missed the part explaining why you're doing this lol
so did I !
It started out as to whether it was worth repairing our SR if there was still loads around in much better condition but when i started looking into I realised that there were few original ones and many were in worst condition. But clearly still not rare enough to warrant any significant in value (yet).

Glyn, mine will be taxed this week......at last:roll:....hoping the bloody weather's going to improve:wall:
Looking a good choice of car. No doubt it will have the usual rust.
Our car would have been identical to yours originally.
As for 1.4 mk1 SR left on the road (licenced)
My best estimate of the current figures are 29 of which i know the registations of 13.
Of these 13 only four are white (includes yours/ ours).
Of these 13 - at least 4 have modifications including larger engines

I still have a few to find including at least two on PNG where I do not have registrations and may still be licenced

Mine's a MK1 SR
Two 1.3sr's on ebay. Red rusty one g548acv and a nice blue one f575ofh. Do you know how many 1.3's were produced?
therealnovaboy
06-08-12, 10:14 PM
do you have mine? A828 LNE 1.3 SR White . currently SORN
Red one was not on my list. looks repairable. now on Sorn list
Blue one must have recently licenced - I was aware of car
As for how many produced - I do not have the figure but in 1995 there were still 24957 still licenced in mainland UK - there would have many scrapped by then.
I could ask DVLA as they have replied to other requests.

how many sports registered?
has been added to Sorn list - sounds like a lot of interest in it by seller's comments
there has been several but only one licenced and only listed for one day
theres a white 13sr on ebay at min theres been few on of late
I have not looked at Sports but my understanding is that listed as "Nova Base" if so then official figure is only 5 licenced in mainland UK but I do not want to check Sports and therefore please do not reply on this thread if the figure is wrong
how many sports registered?

Is this the correct registration ?
it was listed as a nova but not as an SR and also no longer listed at DVLA

What winter - we have tickets for the last "summer" show next week end
Ours will stay licenced. It was used for 20 + years salt or not so I cannot see that one more winter will make any difference.......

The figues you quote is for ALL SR (ie mk1 and mk2). If you look at posting 135 there is some explanation of the recent figures. Only at December is a detailed split published by DVLA.

yeah i know thats without a split but still looks more specialy on sorn figures as i seen your ones from earlier in year b4 split, i did one for sri's which was interesting as seen as they only made them for 2 years n only 2,400 made theres not to many more left than sr,s,, a few people have said the how many left site is incorrect n it does state 70 gsi's left registered yet ive always heard 55, theren again since heard 55 from various places i reckon ive seen over 55 gsi's for sale lol
As far as I am aware the SR figures at DVLA / How many left figures are fairly accurate. I have no idea whether the Sri / GSi figures are correct. A lot have been scrapped/ broken up in the last two years even licenced ones that were for sale.
If you know otherwise prove it !

I think you will find this one is mine - started of life as a 1.3 SR in Carmine Red , registered on 15th November 1988, written off on 23rd December 1988, that may be why its showing NF . Reg is F443UFL
Was on the road for 6 months this summer and is currently sorned.

Added to list
I was not aware of this car at all. registration date is 18/11/1988
No doubt a good story behind the car as to why written off after a month !

Latest DVLA figures - Licenced totals for all SR including mk1 and Mk 2

197 at 31/12/2011 - split 100 1.3 SR mk 1/31 1.4SR mk 1/ 66 1.4 SR mk 2)
(registration dates of those found are listed on the first posting to thread)
Because DVLA now publish a combined mk1/ mk2 sr figure, I have now added the registration dates of (a small number) of the mk2 SR found to the list.
Despite my best efforts since January 2012 I have found the registrations of less than half of the mk 1 SR's on the road.
Of the 65 mk 1 that were licenced during 2012, as of today, less than half are currently licenced (many are SORN for the winter)
Thanks to all that have provided registrations in 2012

A year on from when i started the thread ..... how many of the currently licenced ones did I find ?
I would guess around 50 % of the licensed ones found - only even with the immense resources of PNG/ internet clubs/ Google Search/ Flickr / ebay etc
I kept a list of the Mk1 (1.3/1.4) and Mk2 (1.4) registered ones at any time in 2012/13 but not necessarily throughout 2012. ( I had to look at all SR as DVLA decided to combine) which was 92 in total. The list is as they were originally registered - not how they stand today and therefore does include many modified cars (some beyond recognition as an SR). There are a very small number of replicas/ reshells not included.
Approximately
1.3 -52 found ,of which 28 still licenced as of today
1.4 mk 1 -18 found ,of which 6 still licenced as of today
1.4 mk2 -22 found, of which, 11 still licenced, as of today
Total -92 found ,of which 45 still licenced as of today
there are also many in Northern Ireland not included in any of the figures
Many were several on sorn for the winter but there have also been a few casulties in 2012
One firebombed
One in a accident at the MOT garage
Several scrapped
Some were brought back onto the road after years off the road and there are several that I would expect to see back on the road in 2013.
I will update further when DVLA december statistics get published which will give split by year of registation rather than just the totals for the other three quarters
The good news is that ours now has MOT until April 2013 and should remain in the licenced figures for a year at least

bloody hell nova00 - your on some will driven mission here - crazy nutter ! lol
where are you getting this info from by the way ?
Car has been unlicenced since 01/05/2005 - most likely to have been scrapped but always a chance that still around. What condition was it when you sold it ?
Such cars do appear on ebay in various states of repair. I do add any registrations i am aware of to spreadsheet, but not really practical to list all the 24,000 that were around in 2005.

Yes - it did get out of hand but just a matter of updating list as they appear on ebay etc. As licences/ sorn renew I now check list
Once I have the registration the basic info re licencing from DVLA website and the free info re model is available from several websites.
Without the registration no way of finding out.

Tbh, it was actually preety much immaculate. the only bit of rust on the car was on the bottom front corner of the nearside door about the size of your thumb nail. Genuine 77k with loads of service history. i bought it for 30 quid off an old guy as a project & had it sat in my mates garage, but when he & his mrs split up i had to shift it so sold it on as nowhere to keep it sadly. i never saw it again & dont know where it went.
but like you say, that dosent mean its definately dead as another mate of mine has G739TTT, a white nova sting sat in his garage & its been there since 2002.

Have you got mine on this list? :) MK1 1.4 SR.
Excellent, Royston
My SR is now taxed, hopefully out for a run tomorrow!
As regards colours of the currently licenced mk1 SR which I know of (approximately)
1.3 SR 30
1.4 SR 8
White 12
Red 9
Grey 3
Silver 3
Blue 5
Yellow 2
Black 3
Gold 1
Regarding Yellow SR (arguably the best colour) I do not know of any standard/ original ones
The only yellow one with a 1.3 engine and still licenced as of today.................... is on ebay today ! (rally spec)
There may of course be others that I do not know of and in northern ireland
One the few yellow SORNED also now being scrapped !
Updated re "Found licensed" figures as at 19/05/13
Out of the 79 that I have found that have been licensed since January 2012
1.3 /1.4 figures are as follows
Currently Licenced 39/11
Currently Sorn 12/6
Currently unlicensed 6/2
Currently not found 2/1
totals 59/20
still a few to find !
Figures below refer to ALL LICENSED SR (ie mk1 1.3/1.4 and mk2 1.4)
Further large falls in numbers at 31/03/2013 (Qtr 1) - now 147 licenced (down 24% on a year earlier)
Very much an average annual fall over recent years. Annual fall in numbers ranges between a low (rare) 5% to 47 % !!
Largest falls in 2002 -2006 where annual fall was over a massive 40 % every year over this period.
I have been suprised how the same cars have repeatedly been for sale, not only once but in many cases several times, in the last year.
A SMALL Seasonal increase of Sorned cars is likely in June and could be at least 10% !
Very few taken off the road (except for winter) ever come back on the road but there is some hope with current projects. I note a few now in safe hands as projects which may increease numbers slightly.
Most of SR's are not original to various degrees.
Still only found registrations of well less than 50% of the licenced cars.
As always I have used howmanyleft statistics ! (apologies to the unbelievers)

Mine is back on the road this year, red (though sitting with no exhaust manifold until it is machined)
Is it going back on the road ? (assuming not currently)

I've just bought an 85 Black SR which has been off the radar for years, hopefully get it sorted someday!
Numbers on the the road will soon be falling significantly with winter.
At least the numbers being scrapped make keeping the list easier.
Welcome to the new SR owners but over recent months it has become more like passing the parcel (SR's) for adults via ebay/ pistonheads/gumtree etc. only then being broken/ scrapped
Probably no different to Novas generally

Nova00, are you still getting your information from HML?
My SR is my everyday car this year.
Yes
Nova00, are you still getting your information from HML?
Yes
You're wasting your time.
It's been proven, time and again, that it is hideously inaccurate.
Have you a particular reason why you think the figures are wrong or is it a dislike of statistics ?
I really do not want an argument about the figures especially about other cars but a few FACTS,
which I hope will discourage you from prolonging the argument.
If it says Nova SR on the registration certificate then it will be in the figures
If does not say Nova SR then it will not be recorded as an SR
I know of none where someone claims to have an SR and it is not or likewise (replicas/ reshells are not included in the SR figures)
Cars can be Licenced / SORN or unlicenced
I believe Licenced due to expire (ie up to one month late renewal) will also be included in figures
Unlicenced cars are generally scrapped but will include cars at dealers or scrapyard for resale
These are NOT included in the figures (very few in this category)
Cars in Northern Ireland are not included in the DVLA figures
(although I understand that this may change)
Cars will generally remain what they were originally licenced as - ie once an SR always an SR irrespective of how many bits added on taken off or engine changes. (unless someone specifically applies to get it changed). So many are for example listed as 1.6 SR'S
As regards other Novas then they are listed as imported as originally registered by the manufacturer special additions are often listed as the base model rather than the dealers registering as the correct dealer special.
Nearly all 1.0/1.2 dealer specials (sticker put on at dealers)are listed as 1.0/1.2
Nova Solas are listed are listed as 1.2 Merits which is how they came into the UK (conversions done in London) Nova sola on here provided very good research on this point on here - his is even registered as a merit than as a Sola.
None of this applies to SR's but anyone with a dealer specials CANNOT rely on the figures
If you think figures are wrong for other cars then it is of no interest to me and complain elsewhere
Whatever, mate.
HML has such little credibility, it's much harder to prove it's a worthwhile resource, than it's a load of ****.
You seem to do a lot of research. All in vain.
(BTW I will say whatever I consider to be relevant, on this thread. It doesn't belong to you. lol)
You will therefore be pleased to know that the latest load of ********** DVLA/ HML figures will be out soon !

How do you find this out? I would like to know how many nova GTEs are left.

Yeah. Gotta love those outdated, inaccurate figures.
Maybe the Nova SR figures are correct - if you owned a truly rare car, you would see when HML has say, three listed, one taxed and two SORN, yet a few people who own more of these than supposedly exist (taxed and SORN, not pre-SORN) come forward and repeatedly blow these stupid figures out of the water, that you are wasting your time.
Whilst you are Googling, maybe read up a little on this stupid site, instead of taking it as gospel.
I dunno, you try and help someone... lol

An official owners club list of registered, surviving cars is the closest you will get mate.

I don't know how relevant this is but my brother got an escort RS turbo from a scrap yard, the car had been stolen and the engine was knackered, so he got it off them and sent off for a log book, it came back as a escort bonus (or something) so he sent it back saying it was an RS turbo and when they sent the log book back they had changed it to RS turbo.
So how would this log on their figures for RS turbos?
As far as I know it would get recorded in the statistics exactly what it said on the log book ie escort bonus then later as a RS turbo. Suprised that it is that easy to change how listed unless it was simply an error when first registered. Makes you wander if any SR replicas/ reshells have or could be changed at DVLA that easy.
As regards the RS turbo I guess it really was an escort bonus (reshell?), perhaps a suprise for any future owner. Think somewhat similar to the infamoues A reg nova Sport (two years before made!) which is in fact a reshell.
Also years ago I had a Escort XR3 which was written off in Manchester, and reappeared a mile from my parents address in a garage. The only thing that was the same was the reg. - definately not the same car, clearly had been reshelled or similar.

This was a long time ago, when someone that knew about escort turbos looked at the car they pointed out things that hadn't been changed, so yeah it was a bonus with an rs engine, body kit and seats. should think it was left as a bonus for cheaper insurance.
There lies the problem with you going off the subject of SR's ..... my mate in the pub says.
Can be easily proven
What is the car ?
What are the regsitrations ?
you can look up registrations on
- http://www.carcheckuk.co.uk/ (free enquiry only re sclassification)
- and the DVLA enquiry e current status
- HML
Almost certainly will provide the answer as one of the following
1 The cars are not classified correctly (error in coding, reshells etc)
2 Cars are unlicenced (as you suggest old pre SORN or in the trade) WHICH AS I SAID EARLIER ARE NOT INCLUDED IN DVLA STATISTICS
Please do and then you can report back with some facts !
If you can PROVE the figures are wrong then I will not argue the point further.
I await your reply

It is not that easy, my Nova swing had been registered at one point as a Nova 1.2. I got in touch with DVLA and said they were calling it a 1.2 when on the same document it was listed as 993cc (which is correct)
It took months to sort, they had to go back to the original registration document from 1984 (which they sent me a copy) and then to vauxhall themselves to double check that it was correct before changing the variant from 1.2 to swing.
With no financial gain or any desirability in going from a normal model to a swing on the v5, there is no way they would go from a bonus to an rs turbo without it being the correct chassis number and original registration document, otherwise we would all be ringing out our 1992 1.2i Novas as sports!
Your experiences confirms what I thought. I was suprised that could be easily changed. Like i said earlier I understood that once an SR (or any other model) always an SR ireespective of engine etc unless great lengths went to change any error.
Does make finding SR's (esp mk2) more difficult where look different to how came out of the factory.

I have nowt to prove.
'My mate in the pub'? Hardly.
Some car-specific websites actually have contributors who know what they are talking about. Such a shame that this isn't one.
What you are attempting to do will never be even close to accurate.
Unless you have a limited run/very few surviving numbers model, of which there is official data at hand to show surviving numbers, then you will never know.
If you owned a Sport, you would be closer to finding the information you desire.
You. Are. Wasting. Your. Time.
likewise you in replying
One of many glowing reports:
...........The database appears, from some searching on the government site rather than the mash up, and from discussion elsewhere on PH, to be wildly inaccurate. It does appear to include cars subject to a SORN, If it were accurate, it would still be mildly interesting for classics as it would show how many are left now.............
To do this much research via such an unreliable resource into such a mundane model, whilst being this naive, makes you quite entertaining.
Have fun. :)
well might be one less on the road soon, fuel pump leaking, I think the waterpump has gone and still getting hesitation on pick up, that is after loads of work since April......
it is unusual that it not the rust that kills the sr's
Fuel pump leaking - is that normal ?
I cannot remember ours ever leaking

Why would my brother lie to me about it? And I saw the log book saying RS turbo. Maybe they mixed something up there end or something but he defo sent it back and it came back with RS turbo on the log book.

Marc isnt there a little gasket on the fuel pump? If not a fuel pump and water pump cant cost much. If the shell is clean it must be worth saving no?
I am certain it was exactly as you said. I guess he was just lucky who he dealt with.

Are you wanting to be banned ?
Firstly insulting DVLA/ HML
then my statistics
then me
now the SR
I just wonder why you are even on the site
And still NOT ONE FACT just wild statements with vague reference to internet sites without any link.

I'm just a bit negative about it today, the pump has gone at the outlet pipe, just fed up of the constant maintanence on these ohc engines, second time I've run one as a daily and constant issues, they seem to struggle with same use I used to use the ohv for.......ignore me though, I just wanted a moan, sorry for hijacking the thread lol
No problem. I am sure you will get if fixed. Does not sound too big a job to sort out.
