Who remembers the last time they saw a Nova? They have either been crashed or rotten away by now Shame because they were good fun cars and I'd imagine something like that would be great fun.......in another colour

Not if its rust free, decent nova shells are starting to go the way that mk1/mk2 escorts have massively gone, because they are useful in rallying and have a big following the good examples are starting to really creep up in price.
Problem with that one of course is needing paint, if it was a plain colour all over that would get snapped up IMHO at that money.

Thats not what the early max power mags were about, they were actually very good, it was "how to port your 8v golf cylinder head at home for no money" and that sort of thing in the early days.
Obviously went to utter shite a few years down the line though!

There were 2 Pink Novas I remember. One belonged to that chav off Britain's worst driver, and there was another one. IIRC this is "the other" one.
