    I'll see if I can dig some more out - a turquoise blue Nova with a C20LET from Fast Car in 1995 rings a bell.

    All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi
    Far from suicidal
    Still I get them tendencies
    Bringing back them memories
    That I really miss when I reminisce

    Fast Car - October 1996 = 17 years ago

    Andy Windsor's Citrine Yellow GSI turbo on a Q plate ....











    Here's Andy - not a very helpful guy back then - when I was putting in my F28 he was the only other Nova running an F28 and refused to tell me how to sort the tie bar issue out




    And from the for sale section ...

    Opel Ascona for £250



    Mk3 Astra for £5.5k



    And a weird Ford Cortina pick up !



    Enjoy

    Makes me regret dumping all my old 'Fast Car' magazines when I moved house last year!

    Luckily I kept my complete collection of 'Cars and Car Conversions'.
    To contact me please use E-MAIL to colinesmith@aol.com.

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