Simps' Nova Turbo For Sale

[The Simps]

Well after 6 years the time has come to part with my baby to move on to pastures new. I've taken the car as far as I want to and achieved what I wanted to do which was build a car that was well-known and respected on MIG and to win Car of the Show at Billing of which it did this year.
I would personally describe the car as being in very good condition. I would like to say it is excellent but at the end of the day it is a 14yr old car and does have blemishes.
The car has been dry stored for the last 4 yrs and barely covering 2500 miles a year.
The history of the car and the last years work/modifications can be seen on the thread below and clearly documented.
http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/projects-restorations/270670-%22simps-nova-let-build%22.html

I am looking for ?5,000 ono and I'm in no real hurry to sell. Private plate will be removed upon sale and not sold with the car.
I will be having the car RR'd over the next few days to update the power figure as the car is now running more boost.
PM me or email for further details simps100@hotmail.com. Car is located in Norwich.

Lovely car mate...

5 grand is alot of money for a nova lol

But... if it's worth it then good luck... i still don't know about what novas are worth these days in that type of condition

[Lee H]

I'd say it was priced sensibly for the spec. Very tidy car in the flesh. Think you'll regret selling it Simps but good luck with the sale.

[dan16v]

if you dont know what novas are worth in this state then dont post on here filling simps thread with crap!
good luck with the sale mate! well worth 5k loads of time and effort gone into it:thumb:

Maybe, but just one of those things. I think I'm going to be happy with Skyline that should be replacing it :D

Good luck with the sale.

[The Simps]

Thanks for the kind comments.

[Nick J]

Had a good look round it at billing, Imo considering the spec etc Id say it is well worth the money, good luck with the sale fella. Nick.

[dannyboy1986]

You're in Norwich! Sorry, just gutted i've never seen your car about, looks lovely! If only i had a spare 5k - student loan just doesnt cover it! Lol.

I fitted the eccentric top mounts tonight and they've transformed the way the car handles - can't recommend them enough!

Nicest Nova ive ever seen. Wish i had 5grand!!

Good luck with the sale mate well worth every penny!

[The Simps]

Cheers mate.

Got a few interested peeps just seems it all hangs on selling their cars at the mo. Doesn't bother me tho as I get to enjoy it for just a little longer! lol

[SRimon]

Have you had this featured Simon?

Is it not worth holding onto it for a feature?

[The Simps]

not been featured no.

At the RR day we had the TV guy who was doing the pics took me details but I've heard nowt.

Not that bothered tbh. Winning Car of the Show at Billing is more of an honor than TV feature in my eyes. Don't get me wrong tho, would be nice.

[SRimon]

I just think a mag is a good lasting memory!

[The Simps]

Oh it is don't get me wrong! But I don't think its gonna happen tbh. TV have had LOADS of Nova turbos and mine has got nothing "extra" special.

[The Simps]

[tommiii]

just finished reading and luking at all the pics of the build and all i can say is amazeing the work gone into this nova is outstanding wish i culd shake ur handlol well worth the asking price.. fair play:thumb:

[The Simps]

Can I just add - NO P/X's. I looked to use the proceeds of this sale to fund another project so don't need another car. Thank you.
