The Vauxhall Nova just the best, you can't get better. They're cheap, also cheap to run and so cool to rag round the bendy roads. I love Novas

Vauxhall Nova 1.6 GTE's are good cars, mine used to be a 1.2 shed that I bought of my mate for £30! Now its got full bodykit, MG ZR yellow respay and a 1.6 gte lump. Get a nova for a first car, do it up, drive it like a nutter then sell it!

10/10 for practicability - easy to g ...

With the mods i had plus cam, head work, performance manifold and tailored chip to mods, might see a ...
