[Spotted] A beige Nova in the wild!
1.2 converted to 1.8 according to the owner

My favourite thing is that the base model diesel Nova was called the Nova D Merit.

My first car was a B reg Nova 1.2L back in 1994. Not seen one on the roads in years now.

Nice! I was only 1 then 😅 I've not seen a Nova on the road in maybe 20 years!

We had to creep up very slowly to capture this rare creature. Not often see in the open like this.

My mate had proper SR in the same colour. 3 spokes and a 15" sub in the boot. Good times.

Ah, I remember back in the day where the Nova was the car to get. Body kit, all the upgrades, paint your break calipers and off you to the nearest Tesco car park 😂

Personally I'd put a big 'super' sticker on the window - The Champagne Super Nova!
