Aye top is Walshy's one time Nova swing?

Jon haslams SR XE, 2nd pic. Apparently its still owned by him tucked up in a garage. Would be amazing to see that for myself, all these years later.

Yep walshy's nova is the top one, still about and he is hopefully planning to get it on the road again too, I heard recently too that Jon Haslam has still got his nova too, would be good to see it, used to be one of my favorites!

I cant remember who posted that Jon Haslam still had his. Someone from the North West maybe, assuming he was from that way. Most of the pukka, retro XE Novas all came from that area...

Spoke to Jon Haslam a few years ago - Still has the nova in his garage - told me he was planning to tidy it up and do a few track days in it !!!!!

Knew I wasnt dreaming!

94JDH used to come to NW meets, because Jon was at Salford Uni studying Aeranautical engineering while I was there. He's from down south though. It was Fearless who' said he still had it, but IIRC that was around5 years ago when he spoke last???

Too long - I was there. Brett found me at about 8.30am lying under his car gawping at the amazing attention to detail even underneathlol
