Hello!
I'm a new starter to forums and also to Nova's!
I've always had a soft spot and was adamant I’d get one as my first car!
The new addition is a standard Mk1 blue, G reg 1 litre.
It's done just under 38k and is in sweet condition.
It has a few issues such as lacquer peel, a few dints and a slight rust patch on the door bottom but they'll soon be ironed out and ready for showing.
It drove perfectly from Bedford to Suffolk and sailed straight through it's first MOT with me not a problem!

Nova looks in very nice shape, make sure it gets some kind of security on it though.

A cat1 alarm/immobiliser installation would be ideal, a few hundred to have properly put in, but it will reduce your insurance premium. If you don't have the funds for that, then a steering wheel lock would be good, the ones that cover the entire wheel are best and make a good visual deterrent. Actually its a good idea to have a steering lock device even if you have an alarm/electronic immobiliser, as its less likely that someone will even bother trying to get in the car then.

Thanks. That'll definitely be next on my list of things to do. A secure Nova is a happy Nova :)
It then means i can go visit my sister at manor top in sheffield with a little less to worry about, even if they do have land and a big fence round it, an alarm is a must have!
Dislike the wheels - needs some proper wheels or normal coloured hubcaps IMO
There's plenty of female nova lovers on here, even Hayley loves the v6 lol

Welcome and don't be offended by the sometimes testostorone-driven comments on here. We're a nice and helpful bunch, really. :d
As for females loving Nova's... my significant other half loves my Nova over most other cars, including some premium makes. Should tell you something. :thumb:

Yeah i love them too :) much more character than recent cars!

Unfortunately I won't be able to make this one. Seeing as though my nova is in Suffolk at a friends and a tiny issue that I haven't passed my driving test yet lol.

There's nothing wrong with that! It was a fella that got me into cars too well, into old vauxhalls!
My mum tries to say it's because she had an E reg 1litre china blue that I was nearly born in that my nova obsession started, but in fact it was a man I'm afraid lol

I'll have to look into those :) although I think I'm having a little change of heart. I'm trying to keep him as standard as possible with him only having just under 38k on the clock. It'd make it much more disirable to show! Cause it's never going to be as nice of some of the mint examples on here.
Was thinking of finding some standard 13" early 90's tidy steel wheels if you or anybody else knows where I could find some??? Just some that would make the car look tidyer but still standard. Bit of a long shot I know! Lol.
Lizzie
Get some 14" SR steels, at least then you can fit the 256mm brakes behind them and avoid possibly killing yourself with the quite frankly, scary, Delco's.

Really like this looks so tidy, very good find indeed :thumb:
Would also like to see this cropping up at the odd show, there is quite a few of us that camp it out at Billing yearly, so maybe then? :d
