Nova Noob question - mk1 -- mk2

[walshc]

Ive only recently had interest in nova`s (they came with a bad image when i was growing up lol ) And was wondering what the differences are in the mk1 and mk2?
Ive just bought a saloon on a G plate (89) and wanted to know what mk i have :cool:

most obvious is grill and headlights mate ....

grill with trim going under the lights is mk2

i have a 88 mk 1 and a 90 mk 2 so maybe yours is in the crossover year?

Nope, saloons are both Mk1 and 2.

Mk1 came in 2 or 4 door, where as Mk2 was 4dr only.


door hand posishon on the out side
IIRC Mk1 & 2 doors are both the same, its only the early (pre-85/D reg) ones that had a few minor differences. Having said that, the check straps on a Mk2 are welded on, whilst Mk1 is bolted, but thats not really part of the door.
