this is what i know about nova history
they was originally made to rival the ford fiesta however many years ago that was
vauxhall only made a small number of them thinking they wouldn't be a hit but the nova took off think it was 7000 they made (don't quote me on that) they stopped making them at n reg when they brought the corsa out
you probably already know the corsa is the "new" nova
can't for the life of me remember where i found that out
maybe the original owners handbook not sure

try topbuzz
www.tuning.co.uk used to have info

as for "asking permission" to take stuff from novaland..... sod that they never asked to nick our articles/guides and try to pass them off as their own so why should you ask to copy a bit of text...

Dunno where you've found that out. But they brought the corsa out on L reg, and there was a hell of alot more nova's made than 7000.

^ This site gives some info on the Mk2 which may come in handy

Also try ebay, quite often brochues and magazines etc go on there cheap
