Hello All,

I have been searching for some photographs of the Nova GSi / GTE engine bay in near original / factory finish.

Does anyone have any to hand that they wouldn't mind sharing.

Much appreciated.

Thanks Bazil - I know its a long shot but does anyone have an original brochure / press picture or even an early imagine taken by an owner.

This is the best one I have but still shows some ageing - Specifically looking at the original finish of each component

I've been looking for nice standard engine pics for ages, gave up and decided I'll make mine look more modified then Bazil posts the black gsi, that looks amazing! Was exactly how I wanted mine to look :(

Have a brochure too, will check for any pictures later (they'll look like the above anyway)

Thanks Keif,

Great pictures - Looks like the UK ones didn't come with Zinc plated bolts at all then - Yours looks fairly original. Brochure pictures would be great if you can dig them out?
