my bird tried to get me a kit for my birthday but couldnt - she rang Tamaya, arifix and Revell but they didnt do any novas in kit form.

Vauxhalls is a small die cast one if I remember.

There was some guy who posted a thing saying he had some die cast ones but he never left any details - muppet!

Yeah, i've been trying to get hold of one of these as well for ages. I met a woman at Billing last year who said she could get hold of 'em. She took my number, but i havent heard from her since. WOMEN!!?

I think also that they might be classed under Opel Corsa A (european version)??

I've searched loads of different sites Corgi, Matchbox, etc. but with no luck.

I'm gonna try having a look on Ebay...

Right have sorted it !

They are still avalible but not in the uk (luton parts base)

BUT if you talk nicely to your local Vauxhall main dealers they will order you one if you pay up front and they wont give you a delivery date.

I spoke to 3 dealers in Bristol and none of them wanted to help, so i gave my ex misses a call who works for them and she went and spoke to the guy who runs there parts department and i have got 10 coming at a very good price :lol: and i dont have to pay up front :wink: . They are Corsa A models. :? but thats better than nowt.

So if and when they turn up i will probably be selling 5 or 6 of them.

Will let you know.

as i said i spoke to three dealers and no one wanted to help, but they can if they really want too. She said is taking a lot of fcuking around so you would have to be very nice to them for them to help.

and i used to be very nice to them!

there is another way we could try.
if everyone who reads this phomes every dealer in there area and orders one then they might start to stock them agian!

So then.......this one you get from Vauxhall.....is that a kit or ready made?

How large is it? What Scale?

I'm gonna try my local dealers tomorrow I think.....and ask if they do ones for other models i.e MKII Cav :)


P.S. I've got "part of" an old Corgi Corsa A GT.....I went and smashed it up as a kid, but for some reason, I've still got the tailgate from it, sat on my shelf!
