j_jza80 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 `aha looks awesome! even if it is a nova... The days of Novas being the chav chariot of choice are well over. Still a few awful ones about, but this looks to be something special. I saw a standard one on the road the other day (Sri iirc) and I thought it looked fantastic.

tomgeer Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 The days of Novas being the chav chariot of choice are well over. Still a few awful ones about, but this looks to be something special. I saw a standard one on the road the other day (Sri iirc) and I thought it looked fantastic. Its funny how these cars were ten a penny in the 90's - early 2000's, so you wouldn't look twice at them on the road back then as they were so common, now any old 80's/90's hot hatches catch my eye, particularly in standard form. I'd love a series 1 escort rs turbo or another 1.9 peugeot 205 gti, I loved that car (until the pistonrings went ). The price of all these old hot hatches is on the up. It makes me wonder if my supra will ever be worth decent money again if I keep it garaged, low mileage and stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomgeer Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 there was a mint standard nova for sale not long ago on eBay going for serious money! Off to see if I can find the link Thats what I mean, My younger brother bought a nova 1.2 for £50 when he first passed his test, it had tax and MOT too. The cheapest cars I ever bought were a £40 Fiat uno (from my sister, it was my first car), £50 Cavalier Sri (just needed sills replacing), and my personal favourite was my first of three xr3i's, I paid £100 for it as it was supposedly going to fail its MOT miserably, I drove it to a different mot centre, it went straight through the test with no advisories, to celebrate I polished the paintwork then hoovered the interior out and found £12 under the seats, I drove that car around for about 2.5 years Those days of cars for £50 are unfortunately long gone since that bloody scrappage scheme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
