    Default VET 317Y Wide arched Nova whereabouts

    Anybody know anything about this car...



    It is currently SORN and has been MOT'd in recent years so must still be alive.

    Its Ian Jemisons car built in the early 80s.

    Was originally a 1.8 8v engine and was mid mounted engine / RWD. He then converted it to a redtop 16v in the late 80s and it flew..

    Was talking to him about it a few weeks back at his place as he was refurbing some wheels for me.

    Interesting link. He's built a v6 throttle kit. Might have to give him a call.

    Good looking for a wide arch unusually. The end of the reg plate on the Nova to the left looks familiar...
