Maybe just the time of year....but over the past year there does seem to be a slow down in decent ones up for offer. Maybe due to them all being in bits :)

I know most people hate calibras, but try finding bits for one of them especially a turbo! There where loads of callys for sale when I bought mine 5 yr ago. Sod all now!
I got this nova few month back and I can't belive how many bits are up for grabs all the time!! This site is far from quiet! But I don't know what it was like on here a yr ago.

Yeah you're right, there's a good amount of Nova parts on the go. I was looking for a boot seal for my mk 2 cavy and that's proved a pain in the hole lol

There are less and less every year - they are also increasing in value year on year now.

It is really hard to find them now - and good ones getting like hens teeth, especially standard ones.

I really struggle to find decent ones now at sensible money, whereas a year or two back they could always be found relatively easily.

Lets face it the numbers dropped soon as the scrappage scheme came in and there was a load of good vauxhalls that were sent to the crusher and didnt get a chance to endup in a place like u-pull. And as for calibras i like the look of them just not the driving position plus how many peoe pushing mid 50 would of scrapped theres as they were commonly used for towing caravans

It will be harder, there weren't that many mk2 that were carb and there is always the debate that the mk2s havent lasted aswell as mk1s............

Most of my Novas are red (the flame reds are always faded), the blue one is scrap, hardly anything even left on it now and the silver one will probbly be for sale soon...(don't know how you do the sad face things so just imagine one)

I just look in a mirror and think of a poor nova getting scrapped
