Well thought I'd introduce myself.
My name is Chris.
I used to own a F reg nova GTE back in year 2000 and absolutely loved that car and always loved novas.
I always wanted the NOVA DOSE kit.... young and stupid!!!!
Mine was a nova gte with wheel trims so bought some 14" alloys from Vauxhall ( I'll try ad a pic)
Insurance became to much so sold it to my brother who ended up part ex it for a mk 3 Astra Sri.
Recently had a nova temptation so joined here and started looking.... WOW!!! is all I can say as these beautiful little hot hatches are pulling in serious money.
Think my nova days are over but I do hold out hope... id love another gte again.
I'd like to think my old nova is out there somewhere but mot search says different..
Anyway hi everyone

Hi welcome to Png. I owned my first Sr in 1999 then sold on. until 2011 when I bought my second one. It was absolute mint in every way but lost the love. I do love the look of a nova even a base model but to drive one in my opinion isn't satisfying.

I think it could just be a itch that I need to scratch.
Recently saw a mint gte that sold for £20k
If I knew then what I know now
