Greetings everyone,
I'm trying to track down a Nova SRi that a friend of mine owned about 12 years ago, possibly with the intention of buying it back if it's still alive. Bit of a mid life crisis. lol
It was quite distinctive and I'm pretty sure you'd know it if you'd have seen it.
It started off I believe as a blue SRi as it had all the blue SRi interior etc. In the mid 90's it was given a full motorsport look, it had a full white respray, with yellow detailing. The grille, wing mirrors and rear spoiler were all painted yellow as was the line in the bumpers. It also had white vauxhall motorsport wheels fitted and yellow Vauxhall motorsport badges. In it's day it was a lovely example and nicknamed 'the egg car.' It sat very low and was nicely tuned.
My friend bought it in 1998 from Thurlby Motors near Alford in Lincolnshire, after the guy who built it in Skegness part ex'd it for a Vectra GSi. My friend owned it until 2000 when he wrongly part ex'd it for a BMW at a dealership in Peterborough.
If anyone has knowledge of this car, knows if its dead or alive, what happened to it, has pictures then please post. Better still if it's alive and well on this forum I'd be really happy to hear.
The registration was something similar to J180 JCT.
Thanks in advance.
