just thought id post afew pics up of my car i swapped for the nova

1 of 10 made world wide sabre sprint. mini kit car with mg metro 1.4 engine. made of fiberglass. it went like jo stink. the chassie legs were mint and it never rotted (2 guesses why :D). it had mg metro seats a lightweight steering wheel. mini light alloys and a centered exhaust.

anyway do you think it was a good trade?

Well at least the Nova is more standard and you have a better engine range to choose from. I guess that it had an A series engine in (Probably A+), hence my bike engine conversion statement.
