Even though my Nova days are long behind me I still find myself checking this forum out once in a while!
Used to bump into Q522VMF and Mike in Maidstone during the early days - was very tempted with buying it when you had it for sale. Sadly it was a little too hardcore for me at the time. Anyway, here are some photos I took on the day - very poor colour presentation in comaprison to how bright the car really was. Unfortunately a side effect of having an early digital camera.
Why was it on a Q plate?

Who's Sport is that?
Built from a new shell iirc
Hi Ben, thanks so much for the pictures - fond memories of this day as had a fantastic race with a couple of cossies at 150mph+ on a **cough, private runway, cough cough** on the way to Silverstone!
As stated, it was on a Q plate as the original builder bought either the second to or last Nova shell in existence, logbook stated "Assembled from parts" & was only ever registered as having a 2.0L engine, so insurance was relatively cheap considering what it was! - In a touching way it's nice to see the car in it's three different guises, how it originally was when I come to own it, through to the Max Power article where the evolution was happening to the Trax 2002 photo's where for me the transformation journey had come to an end.
Anyone else has any pics, please feel free to post
Regards
Mike
Hi Mike,
I travelled up with a few pals from the Ford RSOC - one of whom vividly remembers you pushing him along at 150+ on the private road. Let me know your email address if you want a copy of the first photo without the photoshop.
Cheers,
Ben.
Thanks again, email address is mardenm@cpwplc.com
Mike
