My Nova SR
Here's a picture that I've look far few times in recentyears and give a smile to my face.
This was my first newer decent car I had. I started offdriving a 78 mini clubman , before having a Vauxhall Belmont. That got writtenoff by someone driving in the side of my and always remember my insurancecompany not wanting to know and it was a legal insurance cover that I paid forlucky that paid for a solicitor to fight it for me.
I had a couple of cavaliers before the nova was the car tohave . Remember going off to see this and it was £2999 with 55,000 on theclock.
Was a good car and it was a good work horse , my mate had ityears later when had 120,000 plus on the clock. Think I got £150 off him and Inever saw him or the car again.

The front bumper ( jacking point cover got nicked ) - thecover.
I used to clean the seats with 2 cans of jif mouse spray andused to leave a lovely smell ha ha



Aww to see it again. Can you see the PNG stickerlol

I love sr's! I searched for ages for a white sr after I passed my driving test but they were all rusty .So I bought a slightly rusty red sr in 1999. It was a 1989 on a F plate. I loved the car until some stone head crashed into the back in 2002 and by that point the rust had taken a grip and my mates had better new cars! So I moved on lol. I thought they were about all rotten by that point until I started searching in 2009 and I realised that some were still alive so found and I bought another red Sr in (1989 f plate) in 2011 that's mint! When I came across it I couldn't believe it so had to buy it! It was way more than the £2999 that you payed. But when did you buy yours? Its nice reading your story.

Very like my first nova. Mine was an 84 on an Irish plate in silver with brown interior, no n/s mirror or side repeaters and fat door strips.
