That looks ace. Makes me so happy that Novas have come full circle and emerged out the other side of the Max Power thing. Even if a few were sacrificed on the way...

Lovely. Thought it may have been my old one for a minute. I owned this back in 1992/3 I think. I wasn't keen on the orange/amber bumper tape, so changed it to red. Aside from a decent sound system I left the car completely stock.  |

I can't remember the name of the colour, but it was unusual even back then. The Nova just didn't pack enough punch for my liking, so it made way for an Astra SRi (which you can see a tiny bit of on the far right of the pic)

Hi and welcome to RR, your Nova SR looks a nice example.
I had a white one of these also on a D plate back in about '95/96. When bought it was absolutely immaculate and totally original.
It was a brilliant little car and apart from a stainless exhaust system, a 40mm lowered suspension kit and 14" alloys we kept it standard and as mint as possible. Although outright it wasn't fast it was really fun to drive and quite nippy due to the short gearing.
The J reg GSI we bought to replace it was a bit of a dissapointment considering how much it cost. Better equipped and nicer looking IMO, but the 1.6 injection engine wasn't that eager considering it was supposed to be 100 bhp or whatever.
Good luck with your SR and thanks for joining us.
Cheers,
Richard.

I remember thinking that the GSi wasn't fast trying to chase one in my 205 GTi. This GSi had 2l XE power thou, It was all I could do was to try keep pace, as my god it was quick of the mark. Luckily I was of the age just to catch the edge of Nova's being cool and becoming massively modified, with my mates having a couple, one started with an SR which he turned in to an "interesting" cruise car Nova Dose body kit 17" wheels and snot green. The other went down the other route and made it silly quick with a Caliber turbo engine conversion althou he later wrapped it round a tree  |

Some days you just need to take a grinder to an inanimate object, just to make your day a tiny bit better!!

Ah i love a mk1 nova, i had one back in 2001 that i first put a 1.8 8v into then i stepped up to a 2ltr 16v redtop engine and calibra 16v front brakes. Left the SR badges on and went around smoking RS turbos. was fun!
