dgtvr6 0 Posted January 27, 2010 LOL.... Now trying to find a Nova on autotrader to see if it is a good idea financially... Used to own one years ago and it was quite good fun (as long as actual speed was not required and perceived speed was adequate anyway) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Used to own one years ago and it was quite good fun (as long as actual speed was not required and perceived speed was adequate anyway) It's stupidly economical too! £35 for a full tank and up to 400 miles a tank!

Bullfinch 0 Posted January 27, 2010 It's probably going up in value now too. Reminds me that my first car was an E-reg Ford Fiesta 1.1L with a choke - what was that all about? I presume the Nova has a choke too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B41LEY 0 Posted January 27, 2010 Very 80's retro! You just need a cuddly garfield in the rear window and some of those plastic fingers on the bootlid so it looks like someone is trapped in there! Oh and some de-static strips hanging under the rear bumper! God the 80's were good! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh and some de-static strips hanging under the rear bumper! God the 80's were good! Errr no... The 80s were cr*p and the cars were worse in truth. Let's be honest the Nova is a bloody awful car with shoddy looks, handling, power etc. Put that with an interior apparently designed by an 8 year old who couldn't be bothered and it aint great whatever way you look at it... However, add the magic that is nostalgia and it looks a different fish alltogether! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philuk 0 Posted January 28, 2010 love it mate, one of my mates had 2 novas starting with a 1.2 sprint(i think) then to a 1.4 sr. tbh the sr was appauling on fuel but hillarious to be in! yours looks quite tidy from the pics! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
V33DUB 0 Posted January 28, 2010 My mate had a black SR. Was completely standard until he heavily modified the front end with an oak tree!! They were the chav car of choice st one point. 90% of the drivers I know my age have owned one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
V-Dubstar 0 Posted February 8, 2010 I had a 1.2 Nova as my 1st car - absolutely loved it!! It was my rally slag!! Lol, no matter what I put it through it never let me down! Id happily have another, as would anyone else I've spoken to who used to drive one! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
