I had one for my first car. Lots of parts on the ebay one are non-original (wheels, Bilsteins, red exhaust etc). Be interesting to see what it goes for. It won't be £65k.....I'd be surprised if he got his money back if he's spent £20k+ to be honest.

The bidding is up to 65k on that so unless someone is having a laugh with it (109 bids currently) thats currently the selling price! wow. I had an old 1.3 limited edition nova as my first car. Can't rmemeber the exact model - dammit. Who'd have thought it??!

I also doubt he will get the £65 grand, but the top bidders look to have good 'feedback'

Cousin's mates had one.

Those were the days, hooning round Merry Hill. SL2 blasting from the tape player, subwoofer cranked up so high you could see the volts drop on the voltmeter in time with the music

Not saying there was a stereotype for young Nova owners...but

He wrote it off in the end

lol.Spot on. Are the anoraks missing something ? It's a 1.3 bag of tripe box. As was my 1.4.

I'll have six stunning and driveable and sporty and great lotus elises instead thank you very much

And spend the change on fuel and tyres and petrol

If it had to be a Lotus I would rather have an Elan sprint with the later 130bhp big valve head, painted in JPS F1 colours.

I passed on the opportunity to have a Elan +2 130 for £9k; an uglier but more practical version of the above, they now tend to fetch £15k for a tatty one, £30k for a minter

Very nice . I like the elan best F1 colours on a car ever. Think they did a JPS coloured elise ?

So many 'proper' classics out there. Can't understand how an 80's Nova would have a tag of £65k ! . I would have said £10k max for something unmolested and no miles on the clock

Really don't understand the classic market

Better stick to my day job.lol

£65K would bag you any number of very well looked after 328 GTB/GTS. To say this guy is pulling a bit too hard on the crack pipe is putting it mildly

Who are all the crazy fools who are bidding ? There is nostalgia and there is nutcase.

This reminds me of a time many years ago when a friend of ours had a Nova.
At the time Oasis had a song out called 'Champagne Supernova'.
We used to drive him nuts by continuously singing the modified version 'Sh*t Brown Vauxhall Nova'.

Seems a strange thing to do when it made an extra £26k on ebay...
