Hi everyone I've just purchased a stunning nova gte,I've known the car for a few years now and have always wanted it,always had a soft spot for nova I've had a few Vauxhall in my time the last one I had was a stunning Astra Gsi turbo 319 bhp

it was a awesome car with a lot of money spent on it,only reason I sold it was to start saving for a house but when my mate was selling the nova I just could resist buying it,I fell in love straight away,it drives lovely and is a pleasure to drive proper old school I've got a few little
bits to do on it ,the car comes with every mot and superb service history and only had 4 owners I will put a few pics up for u guys now hope you like it

Yes got a few little bits and bobs to do on it,not much tho as the car is a credit to its previous owner

I thought you were selling this lovely GTE.

[dgbnova#1]

Ye I thought that also I'm so confuzzled :(

[chrisd1986]

Hes keeping it now

[marcgte]

Decided can get a house whenever I would rather save for another 12 months and keep the gte,as it would be harder to find one of these like this than a house

[NathanKirkpatrick]

Gorgeous just gorgeous.. what exhaust set-up you running and suspension?

I have more recent pictures just need to get them up asap. At the minute she is fully stripped. From tomorrow I'm starting to strip the underneath then taking the engine out (before Xmas)

[marcgte]

Speedlines do look awesome on a Nova. I wouldn't be into this changing engines etc. I like it old-school and all original..

Hope to get mine back out in 2 years time if all goes well. I'm practically getting another respray but along with that I'm getting the inside sprayed and underside aswel.. Going to be costly but we'll worth it in the end :)

[marcgte]

Yes it will be worth it in the end,I'm like you I won't be changing the engine,don't mind changing the wheels,should look nice when it's all done

[jafanan]

Looks good

Keep it up

[peester]

does look well, nice change from the 3 spoke ronals.. The Waltons dealership (stickers in window) is only around the corner from me; looks as good as the day it was purchased from there. That dealer is called Vision now but still going, Vauxhalls only.
