I spotted a very special nova indeed the other day. Followed it and chatted to the 74yo owner for ages. He assured me that when it comes up for sale it's mine, my details have been paper clipped to the log book, as he is in poor health.
Full story and pics to follow in a new thread soon.
Dont keep us all in suspense then. Let the dog see the rabbit ;)
Come on, where's the thread? lolQuote:

Is that actually Onslow's cortina in that top pic, it looks a bit unloved, or should i say exactly as it did in the show lol
And i hope your new acquisition comes off Craig, very curious to know what it is aswell :d
its got the same reg plate :)
So tempting to post a pic. I even just painted the plate out and uploaded it to photobucket. Just terrified that someone will recognise it and jump in with an offer.Quote:

Its on 103k, but is still as it left the factory more or less.
Its a white GTE.
Awesome work, id keep quiet about it for now, as you say it would be gutting to be pipped to the post on what sounds like a very promising acquistion, good luck :d
Thanks. Yeah il keep the pics to myself for now. He said the doctor will be reccommending he gives up driving soon, so he will get in touch when the sad news arrives.
Moved this into here. I want to know wtf is going on with that rear window.
I've never seen one of these hacked about until yesterday.
Thought I'd stick it on here as there was a thread about building them the other week.

Sorry for the crap pic. It appeared by surprise as I was overtaking a van behind it.
lol @ Elizabeth and Eamon's (iirc) beige Metro.
She was what, late 50's? Yet, Rose aside, seemed to be portrayed as the 'young one'. *shudder*
Shame to see Onslows Tina looking erm the same. Wonder if it's concourse underneath? lol
Onslows cortina was crushed a few months back unfortunately!
That astras up for sale on egay i think type in Custom pick ups
Recently had a weekend away in Rome (wedding present) and as Im sure most of you also do, I kept an eye out for any novas/corsa A's. I didn't see any, the photo below was about the closest I got. It was in the museum in the Vatican, hanging in a corridor leading up to the Cisteen (sp?) chapel.

'Italia Nova', I hope you lot saw the title of the painting and didn't just think I was posting up art photos! lol. Incase any of you are interested, this was a painting done of what they thought Italy looked like gepgraphically well before anyone could even dream of satellite images.
I couldn't help take this photo! Italian police cars FTW!!

Only offer what you know you can make back stripping it. Then if its not rotton its a bonus.
I would want it for £200

This just came in my local scrappies. Complete but well used! Plenty of rust in it but lots of decent parts i had plenty off it.
