The red Nova is alive, but I've spent almost a year out of work and cash has been a bit thin. Managed to get the Golf Rallye back on the road, but now it's away for winter. The Nova is next.
Just on the lookout for a solid, reliable and mildly tuned 1.6 8v, preferably with B+ head. Any takers? Drop me an email.
So, where is... John Haslam? Steve Carter-Hounslow? Clive Denton with the Ribena coloured A88 JVP Nova who, thanks to a single page feature in the back of Max Power (written by a then nubile and green Vicki Butler-Henderson) managed to start the whole Nova explosion via thePerformance Nova Group?
And what about John Hilton and the blue/gold Nova in the May 1996 issue of Max P? Rockhard car.
Who remebers the 'Novaindulgance' group thrash from the November 1996 issue of Max?
How about Nick Caro, Brett Warburton and Siemons' Nova feature in the July 1997 issue?
Anyone got a scan of a certin feature in the November 1995 issue of Max P to post?
This old Skool thread has kept Jason (Hudson) and baldy Walshy up to the small hours - Searles with hair, shocker! A 16V TB, etc. All good.
If I ever get the chance, we'll dig out our old school photos and videos and get 'em uploaded. It might take a while at 56k... Nothing happens quickly when you're old, specially when you're on-line via a Spectrum ZX-81. It's taken us 4 hours to write this.
PS - Anyone seen Mr Hudsons' Nova? L 331 APJ. Last seen in the Carlisle area after an altercation with something more solid. It was taken roughly from behind, did the boot floor, write-off but still being driven.
PPS - For sale, TOTALLY STANDARD 1.2-litre Nova, white, standard. 75k and 2 owners from new, tax, needs CV boot for MOT. Three spoke alloys. New job forces sale. It even comes with the original Vauxhall key fob from the original dealer. Fully serviced and ready to rock. Well, roll on the standard suspension set-up. Turn-key old school cool for ?100. Email for pics. Or contact JOV who can do numbers...
