Good Points

A nova is one of the most reliable old cars you will find, they are also the easiest to make look good, being a british made car all parts are relatively cheap. Bodykits and accesories are easy to come by.


Bad Points

Rust will occur in the boot, wheel arches and doors, you must check all these areas when buying


General Comments

A Nova might not be the most glamourous of cars when they are bog standard but once you slap a bodykit and some nice alloys you can make even a blind mans head turn. The trouble with novas are a lot of people have then which carries the disadvantage of finding original things to do to them. I have found a £300 front bumper which will bring other nova drivers to their knees! All Nova drivers in need of help modifying their motor should check out either www.Roybacer.co.uk or www.novaload.net

    Just thought I would say that the Nova was made in Spain. It also has Made In spain on the mk1 Orange front indicators. hope this helps.
