TBH it's the rarity/retro value, and I love it. I mean, how many people think an Impreza is a good looking car ?

Ive always loved Nova's, all 3 of mine have been mag featured at least once each. . . . BUT one man's meat is another mans poison!

Nova Sport 1.3 (Twin 40's), Colin Mcrae's first serious competition car (After the uncompetative Sunbeam)

Limited to 502 cars and something of a sought after car nowadays!

Lots of mega-rebuilds out there!

Loving the MG metro I used to want one of those when I had my 1.0 HL

Here's my retro toy It's not quite as standard as it looks































I've also got this in my garage awaiting some attention, it's a mark 2 3.0s
