Don't suppose you bought that nova from round Yeovil way did you? There used to be one in Mudford which looked exactly like that.

[brucer]

maywell have come from that area at somepoint as someone else recalls it being seen in yeovil area ...??
have a ebay listing in reciepts which had bristol as location,i would like to trace its history abit but proving tricky ...

[Jack]

Yeah, I reckon that could well be the same one then. Ash could probably confirm as well...

Tis very tidy :cool:

why did you remove them?

[Ash]

No, the 'Mudford' one was slightly more blue and with silver splitters and skirts, doesn't sound good but looked smart.

Nice example of a GTE that, BTW how is your suspenion held to the car? I can't see any nuts....

EDIT: re-read it and found the answer

[MK1-GTE]

why did you remove them?
had a red brace fitted mate which was removed and being cleaned and checked over ..
has now gone to be shot blast and powdercoated blue .....:thumb:

thanks for the comments too chaps ...

Looks clean... a real shame its not in a GM colour though...

What offset are the wheels? Look a bit 'prominant'

Thanks Ash wondered if it was that one, used to love that car, wish I could have afforded it when it was F/S....

cheers :thumb: hope to improve it a little more yet ...theres a few bits to do ..

Looks really nice,

altho do something with the bracket holding the air filter, it looks a bit gash. A bit of satin black would clean that up.

have a ebay listing in reciepts which had bristol as location,i would like to trace its history abit but proving tricky ...you can trace the history of your motor here,down to the factory it was made,all the nova prototypes that were never put on the road etc, just check your chassis number against the drawing and and follow the instructions,cool site:
