hi not a ford but my girlfriends nova it got tested yesterday taxed this morning she was going for a drive in it. she just strapped our 4 year old daughter in got to the bottom of our road and the car burst into flames luckily a passer by put fire out before it got way out of hand

 

As long as they both got out safe and sound, nothing else really matters.

And that would be true if it was a Ford, just as much as for the Nova.

 

Fire is never good in any car, what caused it?

 

yea main thing is there safe and think its timing and overfueling

 

Thank god no one was hurt, I do like novas, cool little cars, are you going to repair it?

 

yea its gettin repaired she wouldnt get rid its only haad 1 previous owner from new 47000 miles.. its nothing major new fan ,wiring, ht leads etc bonnet needs painting

 

any pics of the car before fire? i do like a nova, reminds me of my old sri that got stole

 

Thats a bit of good news then. What caused the fire?

 

only pics i got at the min it had private plate in these pics

 

very nice mate wouldnt mind another some day, they are going up in price now

 

Had this happen to me so when i tax my car im getting a fire extinguisher!

 

Bloody hell.Glad your mrs and your daughter are ok.

 

Everybody is ok everything after that is a bonus. Seen a few of these (and Mk2 Astras) split the fuel hose going to the carb

 

Id say the only safe option is to fit a full injected turbo lump lol.

 

glad everyone got out ok and fire was minimal

me thinks you need to get the passer by a crate of sups!!!!

They suffer too am afraid!
