Expensive Nova

who would pay that?

You could buy an RS4, Supercharged XKR the list goes on!
 
Good luck is all i can say lol. Saw a bumper sticker the other day on a rusty old nova...... "You've been novataken" :happy:
 
The saying is : 'You can't polish a ****."

Well, someone has put the lie to that, with an extreme amount of effort and cash.

Still a **** though.
 
Hang on, what chavs can afford that? their dole wouldnt stretch that far. Would it?
 
Even if they could afford it why would anyone spend that much on a Nova???

His he not still locked up for something?? :laugh:

The car is Hideous IMO I really don't like nova's...
 
I'm amazed there was anything left to mod after this long, there rust buckets!
 
Nicely modified, but a bit steep and I'm not sure who the target buyer would be. Kids love Novas, but they're not gonna spend £25k on one.
 
Your right that is a lot of cash for essentially a Vauxhall Nova and i certainly wouldnt pay that for it.

But having tinkered with Vauxhalls in the past and doing a few Turbo conversions on Novas and Astras that is one very impressive spec and not to be sniffed at.

A PD 150 in a Bora I am 99% sure that engine was only ever in the Golf GTi TDi. Not to be mistaken for a GTDi.

I am thinking there is a chance they are telling a lie on this one or its had an engine change.


Not just that but it's the same company thats offering a £650,000 merc race car, offering a 6k Bora with a dodgy engine! hm..
 
400 and something BHP? to the front wheels? Cant se it being that fast and im sorry to say it as i am a speed freak but i will always need a bit of class hence the audi. A nova is a vehicle designed for grannys to go shopping in. Still the guy who did it must be quite proud, suprised he is selling as wont get much for it.
 
I think it's just a cheap way to advertise their company, Racetech, I doubt they expect to sell what can only be a specially prepared demo car.

I had a 300 bhp astra gsi turbo and that was fast,so that nova will be fast.
 
I should of known better....

When I read the title "Expensive Nova", I instantly thought it was going to be a mid 1960's Chevy Nova II.
