Right lads don't all laugh at once, you all know I have been mad on Bedfords and Vauxhalls for the past 60 years, or just mad ;D but some one as to like um, anyway my new project is a 1988 Nova 1.3 L, 5 door hatch, I'll try and load some photos up later. Been owned by some old dear and certainty looked after, 55k a load of history and back seats never been sat on, its mint condition and a credit to its previous owner. Its been mot and seviced most of its life by W J King garage long Lane, Bexleyheath, South London If anybody lives near this garage, let me know as they still have all the history on there screen, I have asked if they would send it to me but they wasn't keen, but may let some one have it in person. Cheers vaux

I always wanted an sr nova, would love one now, would have to be 100% original tho, no mods etc. Mate had one and it lasted I think 2 nights before it was stolen

Had one of these when I was 19, in 1993. Kept it for 4 years and sold it for more than I paid!
