    What a era for cars they had so much more appeal as a teenager i use to love how the exhaust back box on a nova stuck out on a side 😂

    One of my neighbours, Peter, still has his blue Astra saloon that had a Courtenay turbo engine swap back at the same sort of time this Nova was in Max Power. <br>I miss those days! Nice to see some of the cars survived!

    I think I remember reading about this car in the late &apos;90s when it was still quite new. It&apos;s still mint today. I bet it still blows modern stuff out of the water!

    A guy local to me built this originally, it never had anything to do with courtenay other than maybe a chip. Looks like it’s survived well and is in very good condition.

    Love the tartan pink seats, wish I had a big garage when I was younger to keep cars in, £150 for 205 GTi 1.9 in silver, said no to a renault 5 gt turbo that needed a head gasket, nova sri in white for £250 the list of cheap cars I brought back then goes on and on,,, this nova is gorgeous
