so your getting another nova then, you don't mess about shaun :lol:

it'll just be a plain Nova with a diff name i.e. merit, flair,

Chris

The Nova Gem was based on the 1.0 base model Nova, with the "L" velour seats, and not a lot else!!!!

I had one as my first car (if you don't count the SR I had before it because I couldn't get insurance!!!).

Headrests weren't even standard on it, so that was my first modification, followed by side rubbing strips, rear wiper, centre console and SR 3 spokes!!!

Here are a few pics of mine (excuse the quality, had never heard of a digital camera at the time!!!)
