Vauxhall Nova Road, Rally, Track Day, Race, Sprint or Hillclimb Car

A very nicely prepared and maintained Vauxhall Nova 1300cc road/race/rally/track day or road car with 12 months MoT. It has lots of nice bits fitted, many of which have seen little use. Please see full specification below.

This car has many road rally and autotest wins to its credit. It has also been used for occasional hillclimbs and sprints.

A fantastic starter car in very tidy condition, with loads of potential; inexpensive to run, quick and fun to drive, with plentiful parts availability for future upgrades.

I have the V5 log book and the car has just had a 12 months MoT Certificate issued. The MoT tester commented on how solid the car is underneath, which makes a change for a Nova! This was originally an SR model.


It has a full 'Safety Devices' bolt in roll cage, a quick modified 1300cc engine (92bhp at the flywheel), JANSPEED tubular exhaust manifold and large bore exhaust, and has 15" OZ RACING wheels with large uprated front brakes, plus a wheel stud and nut conversion.

The suspension is by proper competition BILSTEIN tarmac dampers and matched springs, which are almost new. It has strengthened track control arms, poly bushes all round and competition engine mounts.

The conversion to a stage rally car would be very simple (just replace seats/belts/fire extinguisher for an MSA logbook).

Since it was last advertised the car has had a 12 months MoT put on it, and some rather nice OZ Racing 15" wheels have been fitted, so it is not correct to say that "nothing has been done to it".

?1500 is in the right ball-park.

Thanks.
