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:

This thread is excellant and brought back a lot of happy memories:thumb:
some really nice cars in this never seen it before pitty all the photos dont work some inspiration in them
lol yep was at the peak of the fast furious hype etc..
If I remember correctly, it was featured in Revs and even made it into their 118 top cars of that yearlol
That did hurt. Sure i saw it at Trax years ago, not to be added in to the nice Nova's list.
That's me, top right on my old MK1 I inherited from my granddad. The car that started all. I put in Joff's old E16SE and sold the car to Niek in 2004...Quote:

I was there too! J468 UFA pre-everything, as a mere 1.4 SRi. Mine is next to Nick Caro's.Quote:

Not sure if they are classed as old school but found these lurking on an old disc from early 2000 era whilst looking for some of my old one.

And finally a few of mine. Yellow one turned out to be a total botched paint job from before I bought the shell. Red one was a minter of a shell that I wished i'd never sold one. It ended up written off sadly!
