Ahh im guessing youve spent a lot of time cleaning/restoring it then as it looks a mess in that streetview pic:eek:
Its only actually got six thousand less than mine, mines got just over 40k on the clock now!
It does look a mess but all I have done is clean it/polish it. lolQuote:

I bet you payed pennies for that as well eh... Very smart looking motor, lowest mileage nova..?
When the owner of the house and car died it was left to a relative of their family. The person I bought it of spotted the new owners at the house and asked if they would sell the Nova. He got it for a few pound, I have a receipt here for it. lolQuote:

Nick, take one without the cover on the roof! lol

Interior is awful and the best thing that could ever happen is for it to be fitted with the much nicer sr or gte interior
