Hi all, having had my last nova gte in 1991 I've just bought my second after 27 years later,I regretted the day I sold my first but always said one day I'll have another,then kids and wife,house,dog,cat and all that stuff happened (usual), then this turned up in my local newspaper of all places,it's alot of work but I reckon will be worth it one day,I'll get some photos up as soon as I can.
F reg
42k genuine
supurb engine and box
all original and never messed with
silver
2 previous owners
as I said a bit of welding required,respray ect,but I love it already,hope to get loads of ideas from you guys in the future,pics up as soon as I can:thumb::thumb::thumb:

I have a red F reg with 39k miles that’s been off the road for 10 years. Hopefully back on the road this summer. Get some pics up.

I'll get some photos up first as I'd like to know what some of you would think it's worth,I don't think I've paid over the odds for it and I'm quite happy with what I paid,silver wouldn't have been my first choice I must admit,but I'm just glad I've got one ,would love to know if my first gte is still out there,reg was F75 BJW in white.

Hi all,latest update on the gte,welding is starting next week hopefully and should take around 2-3 weeks part time working on it then hopefully can start on the mechanics side,needs new brake lines and discs and pads and a new exhaust system them should be good to go to the body shop fingers crossed,I'll Defo get some photos when I'm back at the unit as I'd like all the feedback I can get,thanks for all your thoughts and comments,ps any good places to get spares from,from minor to major parts,cheers.
