    So before I commited to buying back the Nova, I had to track down my old engine down. I wanted this engine in particular as the records show that it was the engine the car left the factory with. But like a #### I sold it back in 2007 with lots of other Sport stuf inc the interior! Anyhow after lots of searching I tracked the man down the good news was he'd never used it he only bought the job lot for the interior. The engine was still in his Garage complete. The bad news was it was a 688 mile round trip to get it and he wouldnt let me have the interior back



    Here it is back at the workshop almost exactly as I sold it, I needed to find a new air box as mine was powder coated and he wanted that for his own Sport build.

    I managed to find this a very good condition airbox.....








    As luck would have it, it came with all this.....







    If youve ever wondered what was in the boot of your Nova Sport or in fact what was sent from Irmscher Uk to the suppling dealership this is it...











    Underside of Carbs



    I could not believe my luck with these, the man I brought them off had had them in his garage for 26 years, He had bought a Nova Sport for his wife in 1985/86 and the dealer could not set them up properly, so after a couple of weeks of massive fuel consumption he told the dealer to fit the old single carb back on, these had been sitting in his garage ever since! They are like new, shame he left the red tailbox on his Sport though

    I collected them from the man at his work and when he pulled that box from the back of his Skoda Yeti I was stunned

    When he had told me about them on the phone I could not believe it and I couldnt get there quick enough, to the point that I drove there with a cracked femur / taylor bone joint and a ruptured ankle ligament!

    Very nice find

    I bet finding that lot has made the decision even harder with regards to putting the 1300 back in or not
