Black 1.4 sr on ebay

[JOHNBOYS]

Hi, I'm new here and just wanted your opinions on the black nova sr 1.4 on eBay , been in the vx scene for years , but been awhile since I had a nova, so has anyone seen it or know anything about it ? Is it priced well? Thanks in advance

Its hard to say without viewing the car as I'm sure you'll know that a car of that age could be full of filler (I have no idea if it is by the way) the only way to tell is to go see the car, but I would say that's top money for an Sr so I'd expect it to be near enough spotless for 3 grand.

I've looked at these pics a few times as it's a similar age to mine.
Alarm bells for me rang seeing the front offside suspension turret . . .
It's easy to be drawn in by glossy paint, but the above area could indicate to (far) greater structural work - I can't imagine corrosion being limited to that one area ?
That being said it appears to be nicely original -

Thanks guys

Definitely looks worth a look if you're after that sort of thing, be aware of poor repairs to less visible areas (e.g. behind new rear lips), if recently painted then rust could bubble through again. I would have thought £3k would get you a more original one, but they're not exactly common now

First thing i spotted was the badly bubbling drivers strut top front, plus there is chassis leg corrosion showing on the passenger side under the coil, listing says "fully restored" rust issues say otherwise, for that money id be wanting something that was what it were advertised to be!
