Mk1 1983 Nova 1.2. (Sr lookalike - on the outside ) with a VERY loud exhaust.

Mmm beige interior with a wonky drivers seat, and gummed up rear arches sprayed with a slightly different shade of red.
Classy.

I had the MK1 Astra GTE after that. Was my dream car at the time!

It was only 5 years old, it was a 1957 bought in 1962 the picture is from Motorbase as I have no pictures of mine. It was green & in immacualate condition. Paid Ł65 & sold it for Ł60 to buy a 100E.

Yes those were the days the MOT test started in 1961 & put an end to the bangers overnight.

Pug 309 1.3 when I was 17, put GTI alloys on it, lowered with a DTM exhaust

Mine was a mustard yellow Vauxhall Nova 1.3 SR

I'm so glad it ended up being a bag of sh*te as otherwise I may have never found the blue-oval.

1.2 8v clio. bought when it was nearly 5 years old for 2500 with 37k on the clock. now about to hit 56k in 2 1/2 years of owning it. has full apex suspension kit fitted 5 months ago and custom backbox thats loud as fuck



learned alot from it, also learned the basics of changing parts(brakes etc) and changing plugs, filters and oil. had 2 crashes in it, 1st shafted the gearbox and scratched both bumpers, 2nd took out the front end cheers to some girl in a fiesta.
Engines fucked as its doing under 300 miles to a full tank and its under normal town and light motorway use.

Ford Orion Ghia Injection.

Was a 1990 G plate. Nice car, I really wanted a 3i but couldn't afford the insurance. The Ghia inj was essentially the same car but with half price insurance.
