Its a 1.2 with 70k on the clock one lady owner from new, been in her barn for 11 or 12 years i have service history for the car aswell. My plans are too rebuild it to standard, use it a bit and take it too a few shows. As my other nova which i should put up some pics of will be the toy.

That really is a barn find, looks like its fared pretty well, have you had it running yet, fresh fuel and maybe a set of plugs, decent battery/charge and it should go no bother!

It does run quite well surprisingly, i drove it off the trailer once i got it home! Fuel lines from tank are perished so put the lines from carb into a gallon can after dribbling a lil bit down the carb with choke on she fired up. Going to wash it tomorrow so will post some more pics then. Spud 11 or 12 years dependant on when it drove into the barn last tax disc is 2002. It was originally flame red aswell haha

My nova had been off the road for 10 years when I bought it, the inside of the tank was coated in rust due to condensation etc, so its worth going over the whole system tbh.

Looks very solid though, nice find.
