When i was at Max Power live 2 years ago i took this photo. The blue Nove has once featured in Redline in a double feature alnong with a yellow one. Both valvers and both modded just about identical. I'm sure the guy who owned this one was called Gary Oldman. Any way, i had tha issue of the mag but it got thrown out a long time ago, but i want to look at it again. Does anyone recognise this car and know if it's on any websites? The wheels are Kosie ones. Senekas? It had a stripped out rear with a false floor and sound system built into the floor.

i have that feature if your intrested!

its with a yellow valver as well!

my brother knows my love for novas, so over the past few years, he has bought loads of mags, mp, fc, redline and revs, and he has taken out all nova related articles and put them in a book for me, called 'Performance Nova', funny enough!

one of the articles being that blue nova, with the yellow one, that gary had to have bucket seats specially made for him i think!

Maybe it's better that they aren't 'allowed' in there anymore, Nova owners already have a bad enough reputation without making it worse by being associated with Lax Poower Lothe

Hi, that nova goes to the sunday night cruise near me in Pontifract.
Apparently he had to have the seats specially made for him as he was too well built to fit in the standard ones!!!!!

Yeah, it's phil (yellow nova on carbs-same feature!)lofthouse's mate... if you can conteact Phil (he;'s in the VX sports car club) i'm sure he's got some pics. I think phil put the engine in for him...

It is true about the seats, the guy is a really big built bodybuilder!!!!

That's why he needed a valver to drag him round!!!

:lol:

These are the wheels on the car. I know they are Kosie ones but what model. Looked in a few of my car mags and can't find them.

About that Vauxhal sports car club. You have to be a member to get into the members area (obviously) but there's no way i'm payin ?30 to become a member just to get in touch with someone!

ah i never thought of that!!!

The wkeels are KESEI SENEKA's available in 7x17 et48 (straight fit with "normal" arch mods like 15"s... available from PVD i think????

Try searching phil lofthouse on the internet see if it comes up with anything... you never know!

I've met him a few times at York Dragway/well lane turbo centre rolling road days... nice guy!!
