Keep seeing a K plate red nova van around the doncaster area
Looks factory fresh and original apart from his name on the side.
some kind of dint man,
Seen a K plate red van on the A38 heading towards Mansfield tonight. Reg was K???GTV. Was going the other way so didnt get any pics.
Edit.
The one on the left is the one you saw and the one on the right is the one I spotted. Anyone know who owns the one on the right? Looks a lot like my mates old one.

Long time viewing, but possibly my first post here. I see Nova's on the road, as we all do, but only tend to get excited about them if they are half decent.
Saw this on the road a few months back, kept it to myself for a while as I had pulled it over and had quite a lengthy chat with the owner. We exchanged details and agreed that it would be mine for a fair price when his doctor told him to surrender his license. Its been 3 or 4 months now though so hope is fading.
He bought it new, and has it serviced every 4 months at the main dealer. Its an absolute cracker, on 100k, but not showing it.

Hey ho, might be mine one day.
Saw this today in Tesco car park, had a poke around and decided I wanted it.
http://i995.photobucket.com/albums/af79/smith9051/IMG_4414_zps358910a8.jpg
Left a note on it, worded as they always are. "if this car either is.... or could be for sale please call Craig on 07....", but then after my shopping I spotted from a mile away that the boot was open so got myself over there quick.
Chatted to the elderly couple, who agreed that no power steering was taking its toll, and persuaded them to paperclip my note to the log book, as I always do.
Saw it again on the road a few hours later, looks great.

Got a mint Astra Mk2 SXi 3dr on my books too, but sadly not had a call from that one either.

I always do, as I see them so often in scrap yards when the owner has obviously deemed them worthless.
The woman in the mk2 Astra was amazed that I could want such a car, the only reason she was still driving it was because she "knew it wasn't worth selling".
I have had loads of cars this way.

Sadly it's crazy how many people think their car is worthless cause it's old...

Just what I was thinking.
"So how much would you have to have for it, brother? I hear ya, I hear ya. Damn she is beeeeauuuutiful though!" lol
Leaving notes etc needs to be done with some tact imo. Or they can read like you're a scrapman/just out for a 'quick flip'.
Or looking like an elaborate car thief.
That gadjee whos pulled over looks like hes been taken hostage lol
Theyre probably scared your gonna chaw their motors hense telling you whatever you want to hear! lol
I have done it successfully before,went over,admired the car,said to the bloke,you ever want to sell that,could I have first refusal please?give me a ring,im an enthusiast so i'll look after it etc.

Congratulations for now alerting him to the fact that it might actually be valuable.
I preffer to use the "I had one of these for my first car" approach.
Why is that alerting them?
Theyre not daft! One click brings you to ebay etc.
I had given up,and then my phone rang about 7/8 months later.
Went round and bought it,he was gonna get £200 for it traded in against a new megane LOL (back in 06)

02-09-13, 10:11 AM
Expressing your desire for the car is surely going to get them asking the question "whats it really worth then"?
To some people its just a car, so i just find its a safer bet to play a sentimental card like, "My mum used to take us to school in one just like this". lol

This for me.
Even so, 'valuable'probably means no more than a few hundred quid, as you usually have only the weigh bridge or trade-in price to better, when they do decide to sell.

Expect to see this on the bay soon under "light restoration"
The blue nova sr above was doing the limit is in a 30mph zone lost control and went across a grass verge into oncoming traffic (40mph zone) and was mT boned by a x5.
I think the nova driver is in a wheelchair.
It happened on the duel carriage way outside my work.

Nice looking standard blue mark 2 on Caerphilly mountain today
You see the driver of the blue sr nova sat outside his house just looking at the road he crashed on (which is outside his front door) in his wheel chair. He has a big motor bike and a BMW 1 series which are just parked up now n
is he's in the wheel chair permanently ernie?
I'm not sure. I only know him fro when I had my white itb nova and he had a look at it once. I noticed his had been parked up for a long time. Then I went away for my honeymoon and when I came back his car was off the drive. I just thought he had sold it then somebody at work told me about a crash that happened nearly outside works front door. As they knew I'm into novas they said about it so I looked it up on our local paper.
If I get chance I will ask about and find out weather he is or not. He's been in a wheelchair since July and I couldn't see any casts on his legs so doesn't look to good.
My Mother spotted this little beauty the other day.

They were not Jetta lamps iirc, I think they were Rallye specific as they were slimmer and had vents under them that continued accross under the grille. Jetta lamps were deeper.

In hafan marina. I actually spoke to him for a few seconds last year, as it was on a trailer just outside of the office one night. I work security, so they probably thought i was checking up on them etc, but i wasn't, i was interested in the car lol
Soon as I saw it pass my office window I was like....haaaaaa a NOVA!!!! Then kinda left the office in under 20s to have a nose lol
Ive not long bought a J reg SRI and its white also!!! I have been using it to drive to work everyday since ive had it, so you will probably see it parked up in your area, as your in pwllheli also ye :) :)

There's quite a few of them on the tiny island! My dad wants to go back over there every year but the ferries just make it difficult as the ones that we used before don't run anymore

Passed a white gsi rep in wrexham the other weekend driven by a lass waiting at a junction and passed a brown b reg base model driven by an old boy on the motorway out of chester on the same day too. No pictures though :(
I was in Tenerife last week and spotted 4 corsa A's but only got pics of 3 of them :).
The first one is a corsa city. What model was this in the vauxhall range (the decals rang a bell but couldnt remember what model)

Last year I posted up the pictures of the standard 1 owner GTE that I followed. After approaching the driver and having a lengthy chat I left my details and crossed my fingers.
Since then I sort of wondered if he had just nodded politely, but on Friday I was in the area and saw it parked on a driveway. Parked up and had a nose to see if it was taxed, then knocked the door.
Ended up in the house with the pair of pensioners chatting again, really nice people. The old boy went to the cupboard and pulled out the V5 with my details paper-clipped to it, and said that this summer he has to take another test which he's not going to bother with, so hopefully it will be mine soon.
Apparently people approach him daily, weather it be Oval racers, Scrap merchants or Enthusiasts, but he only ever kept my details, which was good to hear.
The Hella grill is gone, he has re-fitted the original due to persistent blown bulbs, and he has clipped the mirror, but other than that its still straight and tidy.
Took another pic as I left.
