Nice car...
How does it qualify for Concours, with strut brace, ally headder tank and cesaros?
I say Concours, it was about the most standard looking Nova on the scene back in the day, very clean from what I remember.

Yeah it's still tucked up in his garage..
Chimp007 uk - It qualifies for Concours as it won quite a few trophies a few years ago and was/is in showroom condition, well better than that!
Have you ever actually seen this car?? If you had you may understand why as years ago it was one of the cleanest standard novas around and won a fair few trophys for it iirc!Originally Posted by chimp007_uk
Dec, Im sure I remember someone poss (M Ridley?)saying he still owns it and is currently getting it back to top condition for showing again.
Fair does. I always thought concours was standarder than standard. Genuine wheels tyres the lot, thats all.
Sadly I haven't, and I was doubting how nicer a car it was, or the fact that it shouldn't have won competitions... I was was questioning the "idea" of concours.Have you ever actually seen this car??

It'd be good to see some current pics, does anyone keep in touch with him?

In the old PNG days there was different classes for concours, standard and modified, and for alot this car was standard, all standard parts are there to put it back to standard.
Dec, Ian lives along the road from me and I've seen the car earlier in the car, it's not been touched for a few years now, but he is planning to get back on it at some point...
Looks nice, braided hose for the rad/header tank hose? Nice touch.
