Well its not confirmed although I wonder if they'd confirm if asked. Have you looked at the pics and can confirm its a Sport?

You can see one of the mounts on this Nova but I'm not sure if its the correct mount, is there any other ways of being able to tell? Tailgate is off an early car too so all the suspect things I've spotted so far say its either a genuine Sport or its re-shelled into a shell of same age.

Oh also rumour has it, its the vauxhall heritage museum bidding on it too.

It has a later slam plate but probably means it was replaced with a genuine later one. Never heard of differing engine mounts other than for different engines?

I've had a search but cant find the thread, but basically a member on here had a Nova 'Sport' (I dont know if it was real or not) and a LOT of people argued about it being genuine or not and one of the big points was the fact that early Nova's had a captive nut on one of the mounts (its the one of the very few things I remember from the thread) also the fact that Nova Sports were white but this one had some internal panel gaps painted brown.

Surely someone must know the thread I'm on about?!

Rumour also has it that the world is flat...

:roll:

i remember that thread. was a sport re-shelled into a brown shell.

Could I also draw you're attention to Autotrader.

Easy to find, just search Nova on there. Should find 5 results.
What interests me is the 1986 C reg Red Nova 1.3 SR. From the 33 photos I can only say it's clean as hell, the MOT history shows it as genuine mileage.
And to be honest, I'd have this over the Sport if I were to pay big bucks for a Nova.
I've joked with the missus that the Astra is going as deposit and her Golf will go as full payment!

A £8k (maybe) car with 109 bullshit bids is all I see lol

Like most things on ebay now its people with champagne ideas but beer money.

Wasn't the main thread on migweb? I know it was very well known on here and was always known as a brown reshell but don't recall seeing a project thread on here. Maybe completely wrong though lol

Edit: this is his build thread. Shame there's no pics ha http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/proje.../topics/293687

Yes I think it was Decs thread and I cant remember a build thread on here but there was a thread about it, cheers L33 LEG for searching MIG though :D

The thread discussing his car on here probably got deleted tbf lol

You see, old Fords DO sell for this kinda cash money.

Whereas Vauxhalls, well, its that uncommon, you might aswell say they dont.

Does anyone know the seller? When the auction finishes it would be interesting to see if it genuinely does sell at the auction price.

Bidding seems to have come to a stand still

He has posted on Facebook that he thinks the bidders are genuine. Proof is in the pudding though!

Imagine thinking it's genuine and then realising you're not getting that cash for it. I'd be gutted lol

I'd be absolutely amazed if any of the bids over 20k are genuine. Would love to be proved wrong but let's wait and see.

You're all secretly hoping it sells for £66,000+ so you can start claiming your non sport model Nova's are worth more :p

True lol

Didn't you know my Stings worth £80k... lol

It seems eBay is being flooded by nova's going up for sale just recently. Some people jumping on the band wagon maybe?

Are we aware of the seller here?

Someone has seen the owner talk about the bidding somewhere recently.

He has made lots of comments on the nova sport register group on Facebook.

Looks like the 65,900 bid has been removed/withdrawn as its down to 65,800....

Another sport for sale on eBay lol

That's more realistic, anything over 65800 is getting a bit daft.

lol

agreed.

If if I was the seller of the second one, I would of waited until the first one sold tbh, as it will detract from its final sale price imho. Thus people may not bid as high perhaps on it(second one)..bwtfdik.

even £16k for the second one seems mental ?? £10-£12k I can understand......

Anything over a few grand is mental.
I really don't see the appeal,they were that good and looked after that half of them were modded to death and interiors skipped and engines given to grassers in favour of far superior gsi items and redtop motors

Omg Andy hates novas ban him

This place needs all the posts it can get lol

I don't believe for a second they're genuine bids. You've have to be totally retarded to pay even a sixth of that for a nova.

Or thinking outside the box perhaps the first one was a red herring to bump the price of the second one through the roof.

There's another one now and its already sky rocketing in price!

How much did it sell for then didnt watch it finish .
