works group A nova GSi info needed

[kenny_afh]

are there any nova GSi group A anoraks on this site?
im referring to the proper works spec cars from the early 90s, built by hocklys i believe, not the group A referred to in the build manual, which is aimed at much more clubman cars.

does anyone have any technical info/build specs/build pics or online info about the works cars that they are willing to share with me.

eurorallye sold an ex works shell a few years back and had plenty of handy photos on the advert but i saved them to my old computer which is now caput!

im gathering info on these cars with a view to building a proper replica after my current project is complete.

thanks
kenny

thanks andy. found it on page 2 but sadly its asking about the build manuals, which i have and i am looking for further info and pics.

cheers

atkinsons were also involved in group A developments, but apart form the build manual, there really isn't masses of info out there.

Got loads of pictures of nova rally shells saved from eurorallye's site

Can you remember what the pictures of the group a shell were posted - might have them on file

Euro rally ( or Motorsport direct at the time iirc ) had Bernard Munsters shell for sale a good few years back, think it was an E reg and ended in BEC,

By the time I phoned him it had been sold :(

[kenny_afh]

eurorally owned F163 BEC which was an ex bernard munster car built by hocklys, and its now in ireland, there was a build thread on here last year. i have messaged the poster. i dont know if that is the same one that he sold as a bare shell a few years back or not, but the one im thinking of was also ex munster, so possibly the very same. ive emailed iain and he is going to send me some pics next week when he gets home.

fearless - i dont remember when it was advertised but if you have any relevant pics of that car or others id be very glad to see them!

thats the very ones i had in mind! gonna compare them to the pics i have of F163 BEC and see if theyre indeed the same car! cheers dave

[mowgli]

the above pics are for a lhd shell.

[fearless]

Munsters she'll was a lhd - as were a lot of the works shells iirc

[kenny_afh]

they are the same shell. looking at the pics you can tell its the same, then iain at eurorallye confirmed it. cheers for the pics dave.

[mowgli]

so kenny afh, what are your plans for this shell then? complete rebuild to group A spec?
