Good find fella! clearly either they didnt smoke or it was well looked after! :o
Its not being modified at all, putting some 14 inch steelies on it from my old Corsa as they have brand new Michellins on them and thats it.

Bloody hell thats a minter. For once old people are good for something :lol: Good find :wink:
Is that a Swing? My sister had a B reg one of they as her first car.... wasn't as clean as that though :lol:
It is a Swing, all 45bhp of mean machine power.
Should be 55bhp shouldn't it? As its carb, not injection...
[edit] ignore me I'm talking out my arse, lol for some reason I keep thinking Swings are 1.2's not 1.0's.... :lol:

Jack it is a 1.0.
Yeah, a good t-cut and polish, and it'll look great.
Good find mate, certainly looks tidy :)

sell it me. :wink:
?1000, one of the best shells you will find.
TBH I would have to think twice before accepting that, won't find a car as realible and as cheap to run for 1k

Very nice mate . I,d keep it standard as well, just a good polish and treat it with auto glymns top coat shine to really protect it . I,ve often pondered on did I do the right thing modding mine ( the little thats been done ) and have decided the next motor stays original ( cept the sound system ) but then again its a personel option...
RETRO....!!
nice original nova there mate, look after it

Nice buy if you want to go shopping once a week and pick up your pension.
@ the end of the day its a 20 year old 1.2 Nova with a sunroof, in reality you paid over the odds for it. Regardsless of condition its not worth a wank.
If it was a desirable model in that condition then get excited but its not a Sport or even GTE or GSi let alone an SR :!: Who collects 1.2 Merits :?: :?:
Who would want to buy it for serious money? The rally boys who are the only serious people that will buy a shell arent intrested due to the gaping great hole in the roof.
I will stick to looking for calibra turbo's in the local paper for ?80 :lol:

Send some of them Calibra Turbo's my way I want a spare engine.
I have an engine for sale but want a little more money for it lol :lol:
i did, for ?380 and its a 1.0l :D
Well was, lol
