Hi,
new to the forum but all reliving my youth with this! Never owned a GTE nova but had 1200's and SR's when everone had them, had been thinking about buying a retro hot hatch for some time and was going to buy a 205 GTI but bought this instead, probably a lot rarer than a 205, she's got 86k miles, Vaux SH to 60k, detailed history from there and is 100% standard, going to give her a quick tidy and use in over the summer and then start into her proper, she needs a welding repair in to boot floor and will require a wheel arch, and doors, but she still very respectable looking so it should get me over the summer as I only intend her to be a second car, though if a minter performance nova turns up between them and now I'll prob sell her, I may reshell her if a mint small engined nova appears, who knows, just love thou!:)

Love it mate. Cant beat a MK1 GTE! Whats your future plans, just a little project in your spare time?

Cracking! Rare colour as you say & so nice when unmolested.

I just think it needs a mk2 grey dash to make it that bit more refined inside. I love GTE seats too, best ones IMO.
