Lovely! As you say, the roadster version is very rare indeed. Gotta love the coupe though, one of my all-time fave supercars!

im more impressed with the Nova they are also selling for the bargain price of Ł24,995.00

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vauxhall-Nova-...QQcmdZViewItem

I have more chance of owning that Merc than they do of getting me to pay 24k for a nova

25k for a fucking Nova

They must be having a laugh!! Even with that spec no one in their right mind would pay that for a grannys shopping car !!!!

Only decent thing about it is the Escos front recaros

That nova wont sell for that much, but if you tried to build one to the same standard for less you would fail IMHO, so its worth it if you happen to want a nova of that spec, but it still wont sell for it.

I dont think gettign 25K agreed value insurance on the nova would be hard if you went for a company that go by build cost rather than potential sale price.
