Twice this week ive seen older guys (50+) drvin round in performance Nova's. Yesterday i saw a guy who looked like 65ish with his wife in a Nova GTE. It was an absolute minter and wen i checked he was the only owner and it was an F plate. Absolutely standard. :P On monday i saw a standard SRi also been driven by an older guy and again completly mint. I guess these people just know how to look after cars or all the young people just rag them about.
Wish my car was as mint :roll:

indeed, we were sat cross legged by the fire, and he was in a rocking chair (tartan blanket over his legs) and a pipe in hand. after that story he told us of the things he did in the war.

My uncle bought a new 1.4SR from Vauxhall in 1991. He must have been mid 50 when he bought it. I then bought it from him in 1999. It was in fairly good condition, but i've since butchered it :roll:

to be honest these are the kind of people that you want to buy nova's from, because if it's in mint condition then they've obviously looked after it.
I even thought about leaving a note under the wiper saying im a vauxhall nova club member and an enphusiast(sp) and am interested in their car if they come to sell. with a mobile number.
But then if the car got nicked i suppose i could be the first sucpect!

I reconm its better to buy from a old person if the car is mint.

Its funny when my dad drives my car. When i go away my dad has a habit of pinching my car out of the garage. I get phone calls from friends saying your dads out in your car again, 56 years old and blatting round sutton coldfield in a 16v nova :lol: whats he like!
