Good Points

Cheap to buy cheap to modify go great with a 2.0 8v cav SRi engine in on twin 40 carbs, will not cost you a fortune to build something that fun to drive.


Bad Points

Rust on rear arches and inner wings and boot wells had a bit of a boy racer image for a while but thankfully most Novas are becoming cult classics.


General Comments

Can't beat a Vauxhall Nova for cheapnesss - get one, add Astra gte brakes fit 2.0 8v on twin 40 carbs add a kent cam and lower it and get ready for some cheap thrills might not be able to have a thousand brake like other motors but I know people that hav gone to Vauxhalls because they're cheap to buy.
