    Identify this car (pics, 56k = yes)

    Went on another cycle ride just now and found an un-used airfield. Went round looking for an entrance to take our cars in & play about, but no

    Instead we found this. Not quite in driveable condition unfortunately

    Thought I'd take a couple of (yeah, phone, sorry) photos to see if you Hexus folk can try and identify it






    Also has a V6 engine:




    Any idea?

    Edit:
    It's manual too. Well, it was.

    From looking at the first picture, it looks like a Nova with a Cally V6 transplant, then after seeing the other two doors I decided it wasn't

    Dont forget they made a Nova 4door saloon

    But why would it have a 6 cylinder engine?

    It had pretty big front brakes as well iirc

    It would help if it hadn't been rolled repeatedly Lol

    No. The engine is not immaculate. The photo doesn't really do it justice. Lol.

    That a tough one. Is it a hatch back?

    Any idea of the age?

    It's a shame we can see the offside rear wing better that looks slightly less damaged.

    Could it be one of those VW things, i forget the name.

    Did you get it started? A bump start on a steep hill should do the trick.

    Something say's Ford to me too, but maybe it's just the rust!

    But I am sure they did do a 5 door Scirocco.
