    Until the head gasket goes pop

    A friend with one reckons they're as reliable as any car though if they have the uprated gasket and are warmed up properly

    I'm absolutely gutted, I had the chance yesterday to buy a lovely Turbo 2 in need of some restoration, with a Tour de Corse gearbox/LSD in it for £9k, and just before I said 'yes', someone had got there before me with a deposit.
    To contact me please use E-MAIL to colinesmith@aol.com.

    thousands of Nova (plus other Vauxhall and motorsport parts) available.

    How huge a price tag, out of idle curiosity?

    There's been one advertised for a long while at a shade over £30k.

    i saw one a good few years back on a driveway and the lad said it had been a max power project car & had £85k spent on it....he'd bought it with a std engine and most of the 'expensive' stuff taken off.....he got upset when i told him i didn't think he'd got a good deal.
