Carquip were one of the first to do it they did it long before courteny, asw used to build a few too, but it's always been a popular conversion so god knows who did the first

This is how I got into Novas. A lad I knew when I was a boy got his converted. It was a blue B reg poverty spec thing and the Astra valvers had just come out. His engine was out of a freshly crashed GTE.

He took me for a spin after school and when I got out and wiped the tears and snot off my face I promised myself there and then I'd have one! lol. It was a real expensive bit of kit back then and very cutting edge. I'm pretty sure it was a Carquip conversion but can't be sure.

That was years and years ago my mum had just bought an E reg Nova club so what year was that? 1988?
