Theres a thread on here about it.

Fusion - i did find that thread when i used the search function but i failed to read the last post:roll: :tard: lol
Someone still owns it. The chequers are Blue & it was sold with a different down-specced engine & box to what Courtenay initially put in it.

John Shield of Courtenay whipped off the pink chequers as that was her request & due I guess to it now having an identity from the Full throttle video, put them back on in a sensible colour.
how do you know its the same one?
It was Jon's own sport, they used it for the filming, Jon kept it pink for about a year after the video came out understandably to take advantage of the publicity, changed it to blue. Intended to convert it back to a 1300 but never got the chance and someone came along with an offer he couldn't refuse. Simple really
aah ok, who is jon! lol
Owner of Courtney Sport
Also the man who owned and built the first and most famous nova turbo

John Shield built A16V TB. The green one.

A 16V TB, beautiful
If this ever came up for sale I'd have to buy it, full nut and bolt restore and have it sat in the garage next to the Sport... :-)
Dec
A 16V TB would need to be driven, hard
Looks awsome - Who owns it anyway ?
Unsure who owns it but it was at trax last year looking exceptional still.Quote:

I'd love to buy it and rebuild it back to a mint original sport.
nova sport with no decals etc, and a sunroof? Think that might just be a base Mk1 myself. Anyone know if it's on the 'official' list of sports?
No mention of C 318 YRW in the sport register section, so not sure if it is indeed a sport?!
Apparently it was a genuine Sport.
It was purchased by John Shield from a local police auction as it was impounded due to being involved in a police chase.
any car can have decals removed and an aftermarket sunroof cut in.
the register is by far from definitive and definitely not official.
what wheels are they called and do they still sell them
Raceline RL7's i *think*?!
No longer available.
similar wheels are around tho, www.speedlinecourse.co.uk
Check the 2011, 2012, 2108, 2021
the mean greeny owned by almostaturbo/Derwin/Kitty used to have them on.
just an excuse to whore some old pics:

I thought all sports were mk1 1.3 base and sent to the dealer with the sport 'kit' inside.....? cant remember where i read that.:confused:Quote:

It is a genuine sport, the sunroof was a dealer fit option, mine has one too.
The sport 'kit' was supplied in a box in the boot to the dealer where it was, or wasn't, fitted. Was done this way as it was the kit that was homologated, and that way it could be sold as a retro fit for existing rally cars
