Good evening all. Im looking into buying a nova sport but was wondering how i can actually tell its a genuine sport. Should it say on the log book? ANy help appreciated.

All it should say is model = nova, or nova base. anything else is dodgy.

When all the sport stuff that was on PVG gets moved over I'm sure there's a better guide in with it.

There is this, but it has no graphics or anything. Could be a bit dodgy or it could be a really good find for someone... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VAUXHALL-NOVA-SPORT-C757-DTT-VSX000093F4174550_W0QQitemZ190173954028QQihZ009QQc ategoryZ10404QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I believe all Sports should have a VSX000093F417**** chassis number, mine does. The one on eBay could be gen but has all the wrong bits (inc tailgate, engine, delocked doors :cry: )

Mikey's correct, they should say NOVA BASE on the log book under make/model, the one on eBay says "Sports" in body type which is weird?

I RAC checked that one on eBay, it just comes up as "Nova" where as all the other Nova's Ive owned come up as "Nova SR" "Nova GSi" etc etc

[sport]

Depends how the dealer registered them when new they should say nova base but some say sport or even sr, the best way to find out is to contact Andrew duerden with chassis number as he has the list of original chassis numbers.

TBH I wouldn't take much notice of what the logbook says at it will just state whatever the original dealer registered it as. Due to type approval(Avoiding it due to time constraints) they were never really recognised as a specific Sport model by the DVLA etc, that was one of the reasons for fitting the Sport kit at the dealer.
I have seen Sports registered as SR's and Sports, best way to confirm its a real one is to contact Andrew Deurden with the chassis number to hand.

Jeez, my guide seems to get everywhere! Should have copyrighted it:roll:

Mine is F416****

The guide does not mean a great deal either as it is very easy to build a replica, as I sain the chassis number will tell all.

Having said that I know of a very good SR built as a replica then a genuine Sport ID was used to make it look original. Ringing?!?:wtf:

Mine is F416****

Whoops, just checked, so is mine actually, not F417!

True what you're saying tho Rich, they're are quite a few variations of Spec and log book info, best checking with Andrew.
