possible nova sport going for next to nothing

[smithy_1984]

came across this earlier, while i was having a look at some cars. it says sport in the title & behind all the tacky crap, theres little tell tale signs that it could be the real thing. its white behind where the dash was, c plate & has the irmscher air box & twin carbs.
im not in a position to go buying another car at the min or i would have gone & had a look but i thought id stick it here as it needs help & if it is what i think it is, then it needs to be in the right hands. link below....

Could be a real sport, all the bits you said maybe right,
any sport owners know? I'd love to get that and put it
back to how it was, but it's in London, and I don't
have anyway of getting it back home.

[NoVaBoOt26]

Just popped the reg into a reg checker and
it's an invalid reg!? What does that mean?

[Hydey36]

Its fair to say its not been in the right hands for a while... Looks like its been b*****dised!!

[kent14sr]

Its a 4 owner Vauxhall Nova Base in white with a 1297 engine! Could be genuine!

[ben doodar]

lol if thats a real sport!

[pie]

^^ im with him if it a real sport f lol lol :cry: lol lol

[vauxluva]

No one can tell by a picture can they ?

You might be able to check 95% if you have the chassis number as irrc there is a range that Sports came in

Then you would need conformation from Mr Duerdan

Edit: does look a right state, bet whoever fitted the kit would cry if they realized them value if he hadn't lol

I would think there is a very good chance that its genuine, 1300 base, carbs and being originally white is quite convincing imo

[scott.parker]

Someone off here need to go investigate this, i reckon Jeff needs a mk1 lol

[kent14sr]

I have sent the bloke a text asking a price.

Even if its genuine.. theres not much of any use other than the engine! Restoration in buying the missing sport parts alone would be a fortune at todays prices!

[scott.parker]

IF you got it for £300 its worth it for the ID and engine IMO.

[vessey]

I have to but haven't had a reply all day

[kent14sr]

Me neither, and phone was switched off when I tried calling

[General Baxter]

id rather just buy a normal white mk1 1986 3 door and make it into a rep, bollox to this ID crap, who cares lol

[scoobyeater]

hello yes its near me lol also its a heap i dont think its a sport its missing so much stuff also price is 800 and has not moved in 10yrs lol

[paul james]

£800! what a joker, should be greateful that someone will even be prepared take it away and attempt to repair it.

[burgo]

I'm sure the bloke who paid 10k for the brown sport wouldn't have done if he knew it was brown

[scott.parker]

some one go steal the engine and cut the id out then torch it! lmao!

[scott.parker]

I'm sure the bloke who paid 10k for the brown sport wouldn't have done if he knew it was brown

never seen Brown Sports, they must be mega rare!

[burgo]

It's one of a kind I believe lol

[Edd]

The 10 grand ringer

[scoobyeater]

[Carz247]

Just to confirm its a original sport I've done some checks comes back genuine shame he doesn't answer phone

[John]

Who did you check with chap?

[Carz247]

My traders insurance rang them with reg number they confirmed its a nova base 1.3

[MK999]

Not all Nova base 1.3's are sports though I thought?

[Edd]

I think they are

[vessey]

Av got hold of this guy 2day if only I could get a trailor

[Edd]

Hire one job done

[vessey]

Tryed they are saying I need a towing licence they never asked for this last time I hired 1

[MK999]

Will they not accept a standard car license and the right car/trailer combo?

[vessey]

Unfortunately not

[Edd]

Well get someone with the correct license to help you out then

[John]

My traders insurance rang them with reg number they confirmed its a nova base 1.3

I would check with Andrew duerden first.

[sport]

Aye check the chassis number against the list.

[Bubba]
