I'd keep the wheels White, it looks cracking the way it is :)
Joff,
I can't get those links to work, any ideas?
Back in '96 Fast Car had a track test of a couple of Nova's - one of which was mine. We tested at Mallory Park, and Chris Goodwin (then a BTCC driver) drove them and commented in the write up. He did a couple of laps with each car, except mine - I had to hang the Pitboard out lap after lap to get him back in! He enjoyed it!
I used to have a copy of the mag, but I have no idea where it is now. I wonder if any collectors of Nova memorabilia has one and could scan it for me?
I suppose asking Fast Car for a back issue is another option, but it's a long long time ago, in a galaxy far far away now!
Was that the one with a mk1 nova with a wide arch kit?? About 6 cars in the feature?
Some old skool Nova Sport/PNG stuff;

I still have those early PNG magazines too!! :)
What power is that stunning LET powered Sport putting out??
Was around 300bhp mate, was just perfect with the power-weight-gearbox-suspension setup, any more would have been too much.:thumb:Quote:
