[joejames123]

Not a bad example, original condition is always good, I dont like buying ones that have been touched up or tampered with,

Expect to pay big money for a minter..

Put it like this, Ive a ive a 1984 1.0 swing, 11,650 miles from new and in a1 condition, i couldnt put a price on her,

Good luck in your search!

[SRimon]

Sssshhhh I'm watching it ;)

But I have a slightly larger budget than ?900 lol

[Paul]

oo, not far from me that gte.

[Mboasty]

Yes been watching that one on Ebay 2 his reserve is ?1000 alone i would say it will go for well over ?1500. if yo want a white GTE theres a mint one on pistonheads.com (Just seach Nova) , but again it well over ?900.

[SRimon]

I've seen further pictures of the grey one.

Looks clean, but I wouldnt say mint, or Excellent.

[Steve]

Depends whether you want an original gte or not, it would be alot cheaper to buy a mint shell and fit a gte engine.

[SRimon]

It'd have to be the original engine in the original for me...

Its not bad, has one shot arch, and a door bottom going, but its not badddd

Hi SRimom,
Did you see the boot corners off the Nova GTE ebay link? I phoned the seller and he said it needed a bit or welding and he would n't really confirm that the rear chassis leg and spring hangers were ok. Though the pictures on ebay look good. It's hard getting any good nova now.

ended up buying this motor, with the lorry heading out for her as I type, probably going just quick tidy up and run over the summer and then either reshell her or restore her own shell over the next couple a years, another one comes over to N Ireland.
