Possibly breaking for spares - Vauxhall Nova Road, Rally, Track Day, Race, Sprint or Hillclimb Car


I will consider breaking this car for spares now, as no-one seems to want to pay sensible money for the whole car.

It's a very nicely prepared and maintained Vauxhall Nova 1300cc road/race/rally/track day or road car with 12 months MoT. Finished in silver paintwork, 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.

I have the V5 log book and the car has recently 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" alloy wheels with 256mm 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.
