was speaking to a lad today who said he used to own a special edition GTE 1.8 8v. apparently they only came in blue. ive never heard of a standard 1.8 nova, is he telling the truth or is it a load of crap??

They didnt come out the factory with engine, will have been added afterwards. Sounds like he' letting his ar*e to most of the talking. All GTE's came with 1.6 8v's.

i thought it was a load of crap but he really seems like he knows his stuff, hes done loads of cars in the past, got portfolios of them all and everything, wouldnt expect him to be a bull sh!tter
