Saloon classic

Can't argue with that mileage

13.2s 0-60 and 47mpg too. But it'll actively kill you in a crash...

you.. are.. odd

[Smudger]

You could probably get a lot more for your £750. I'd say it was overpriced... Passenger door doesn't seem to shut properly...

[Whizzkid]

That car is £745 over priced

[Larkspeed]

nah.. they're nails hard

and that's why they actively kill you. They don't crumple so you take the full force of the crash

I remember my mate's first car when he was 17, a 1L nova. Had 1 wing mirror, broken petrol guage, no stereo, which he got around by having a jerry can and a portable cd player in the back. That example might be a classic and low miles, but what's there to like?

mk 1 Astra GTE... I remember my dad going to look at one when i was a kid. It even had an electric dash board that i thought was amazing! Broke my heart he didnt buy it

[Smudger]

That one's got a rev counter, so it's obviously a posh one.

You'd have to pay me £750/pm to own that pile of crap. It was a bag of crap when it came out and guess what, 29 years later it' still a bag of crap with a bit of rust and old lady farts. Still amazed it's lasted that long,......... some crap you just can't scrap off your shoe

I love all the dials that tend to be missing from cars nowadays.

Battery level, oil level

crashed a lot of Nova's have you?

I've bent a few... in their day they were THE hardest.. Fiesta and Metro were weak and feeble. Crumple zones were still a new idea... look at Volvo's... didn't give at all.. bumpers never even dented.

yeah.. you smashed your face up on the wheel... the roof didnt buckle and the wings bent fairly well outward

anyway..I digress......

the thread was for a laugh... though.. one day... prolly soon.. that car will be £3000

[Barry]

Someone local to me is selling this for £700

1.3 sr vauxhall nova 1987 tax an tested never been welded all new parts,head gasket been done an cam belt at 34k an only done 35k no rust solid shell

[Zak33]

shame it's been Kev'd up... quite a straight thing

the rear boot spoiler is from the facelift Nova but the interior (can see through the window) is old shape so it is a 1.3

that IS a classic,, shame it's been fiddled with in such a blasphemous way....wrong colour too.

but .. one day.. a Nova will be worth a fortune.

Lets be honest... who can find a Lada of any sort?

ther are two on Autotrader Nationally. a 30k miler at £1800 and an 11 plate!!!!! at £7k

and no Riva.s

now.. they WERE all £100.

and then they ... melted into history.

Nova is similar.

Look for a Mk1 Escort... THE vanilla car of england... go find one!! with a LARGE wallet
