Both cars looks very smart and in good condition. The Nova is what we would call a GTE not a GSi. The GTEs are better :wink:

It could be, I was just thinking that iv seen it at billing, i think it was 2003 if it was i think i was talking to him about my mates v6 saloon.
Yeah that was in TV mag a few months back, it's a Beguim Nova and the owner is called Bart I believe?
It's mint - before the XE lump it had a small block 8v (think it was 1.8) on twin carbs and it was spotless - not a drop of oil in sight and it was driven all the way from Belguim to the UK.
Awesome little Nova.

The yellow mark is used as visual reference mark in rally when the steering wheel is in all the directions, it makes it possible to the pilot to know when its wheels are right thanks to this reference mark ... lol I do not know if I were well explained !!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
