I'm not sure mate, apparently someone is rebuilding it but I don't know if its true or not, I can't even remember who told me that tbh. Someone on here will know where it is I suppose. Wouldn't mind knowing myself.

Last known owner of K95 VHD on here was G111 MDS he sold it maybe 2 years ago now, it went back down south iirc,

Yeah rio verde green with a slight hint of pear effect iirc, how long have you had it? I heard it was lying under a tree for a while needing some attention. That was probably bullsh1t tho

yes i remember now, a different green to mine was v.nice, we have had it in the family since 1999, i took the car on in 2009 and hasnt seen winter once in our ownership, i think that may have been the purple courtenay nova.

Lucky boy, are you mr Lomas (iirc) you were mentioned in the VBH sprot thread in the sport zone on here a couple of days ago, were you the owner in the TV feature too, been in your/brother/family possessin a while now hasnt it?
Seen the car in the flesh myself @ Trax in '07, spent about half hour drooling round it and taking a few pics in the carpark, saw it on the 0-60 strip too, sure it did a 4.6 or 4.8, and laughed my cock off when some chav said the timing gear was out as there was never a nova ever built that was that fast LOL
Edit, Trax '07 pics...

Seconded here, id heard that Mark Watts old purple GTE was the one left to rot, saw someone once say that they or a close friend had been to view, pics were shown from when Mark owned it, and the exhaust was on the deck underneath, four flat tyres and it looked like the roof had been paintstrippered!
No pics were ever shown, so how true that is, i cannot confirm!

Nice pictures thanks!always enjoyed 'trax' until they moved things around, havent been in the car since 2009!
I only went the once in '07, wasnt stuck on the concept of it tbf, too many lairy paintjobs and bodykits, not my scene at all tbf, i likes shopping trolleys with silly engines LOL :d
And youre welcome for the pics, they were only taken on a camera phone, but i likes to think ive got a reasonable eye :d

yeah, i sold it about 2 years ago now. Checked the DVLA website there and its not listed so can only presume that the chap i sold it to has put his own plate on it. It was seen not long after i sold it in Norwich (or close by) i think but not seen since then. If its on different plates it will be difficult to spot. Also, i wonder if he has even gone as far as a colour change as it was a one of paint mix. could even be kicking about in a completely different guise these days.
^ The reg check thing i have says it's still a on a Green 93 Nova...

like the RAC data check? Does the system you have access say anything about the current road tax situation?
Awesome seeing it getting it used and abused, hopefully we can organise getting a few nova's out on track together next year. :)

I'm all ears anyone has any suggestions.

Sod's law that something like this will come to light when I don't now own a Nova... Anyone want to lend me one or even give me a passenger ride when it comes into fruition :d
See thread in club chat rather than spamming this fellas thread.
Plus you're welcome to have a go in mine Mr South. :)

14-11-12, 07:59 PM
Pretty sure a lad from round here (swindon) used to own that?!
A20LTB was built for Paul Maudis, after he had been in A16VTB. Paul was the cousin of Deano who was the guy who I sold A16VTB to before it went into the care of the Lomas's, they were from the Swindon area if my memory serves me right.

Yes that's it!,I can always remember the car when i first started going to 'Trax' when senior owned A16VTB. The last time i see A20LTB was at PV show 2002,I wonder the last time it was seen after then?
creambun1403
05-12-12, 08:46 AM
I'm not sure to be honest i would have thought it would have been seen somewhere or maybe at a show since 2002?
There is no records of it on my text check
