Hutchinson Designs Vauxhall Nova Cabriolet - URGENT APPEAL!

[joby99]

Hi everyone,
This is my first post on here.
My Grandad, Peter Hutchinson, was the original manufacturer of the Hutchinson Designs Nova Cabriolet, along with my father Paul Hutchinson.
Unfortunately, last Friday Peter sadly passed away peacefully in his own home.
I'm appealing to anyone that may have one of the Nova's he converted. I would be extremely grateful to have it on show at his funeral next week on the 4th of July in Coventry if anyone could possibly do this as a final farewell to my Grandad Peter. It would mean a huge amount to me and to the Hutchinson family.
I am contactable by private message on here.

Many thanks and I hope someone might be able to help.
P.S. I am willing to help out with travel costs etc.

Joe

Very sad news, my sincere condolences to your family.

I got in contact with him a few years ago and he was very helpful and provided me details when I was doing the article of the Hutchinson Nova for my website

Thanks for all of your comments everyone - means a lot. I've had a read of the thread regarding the remaining Nova Cabriolet's - can't believe there's so few left! Duick - I've read your article on the Nova many times and it's great to see it up on the internet for everyone to read and see. Great work. Thanks to everyone for your help. I believe Jay is bringing his Cabriolet down for the funeral, which is brilliant and very kind of him.

There is a man on here with a black turbo'd one. But i'm unsure of his name... I have a photo of it tho.

My condolences to you.

Very sad to hear this. The black one is my old nova, Jay Roberts has it now

[joby99]

Yes, Jay is very kindly bringing the black Nova along to the funeral. It'll be great to have it on display.

A huge thank you to Jay and his partner Claire for bringing the Nova down to display at the funeral. It was a great surprise for the family and made the Hutchinson families day to have it there. Couldn't have asked for more. Once again, many thanks. It was a brilliant send off for my Grandad Peter.
