That trailer looks bonkers plus prob a sod to seal up lol
your cars holding it's own there hope you've washed that engine bay lol
re trailer it had the full dash including a fully working radio
Re engine it will stay as it is as enough spent already. needs more than a clean- perhaps one day engine out and bay re-sprayed it I can find someone competent to do it

i think if you cleaned it you would be surprised how well it came up from what I seen but if it does need work you know what it's like if you leave it to long

Our nova will shortly be reaching another anniversary of ownership (24 years)
MOT is due next month, so fingers are crossed that all will be OK.
A show a month is planned for 2015, including a repeat trip to Holland in May, which is already booked.
Mileage now 118308 so a few miles driven since this thread was started in 2011.
Loving this :thumb:

Love the fact you've had this so long now :thumb:

Lots of shows/ events attended this year. Probably the last one for 2015 finished today and was indoor !
http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/...psyzlbjgu5.jpg
Sweet as ever :thumb:
Just a lovely original car.
Lovely example.
Did I see you on the A1/M1 southbound, north of Leeds etc a few Fridays back, mate?
I was the one in the black MR2 that overtook and gave you a thumbs up. :thumb:
Not me, not if it was a Friday.

Gutted I didn't know about the indoor show, was that the Footman James show? Cheeky buggers could send an email out....especially as my car is insured with them on a classic policy lol
Yes it was Footman James. Should have been a stand of mainly novas but others withdrew and not all show passes were not used.

Almost 25 years and somehow it survives. Invoice from when we purchased in 1991 (A typed invoice - computers were rare)
http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7ojyb6n0.jpg
Nice photos.
Got to love a fully documented history, right down to the purchase invoice. Excellent. :d
Spotted this at Cars and Coffee yesterday, very clean original car. Love it :thumb:
Some amazing cars there yesterday- top of the range of many models. Some one estimated value total £30 million +, I would not disagree.

Nice one on the MoT. Any chance of making a slight detour through the low lands?
Great news! What's the mileage on it now?
