K11, mine was a great car, a bargain that never let me down and would take a fair beating.

Has he contacted Vauxhall? I know they probably haven't got money to waste on heritage but it might be worth a try. Even a local dealer might like it for their showroom. That is awesome. Would be worth contacting the Vauxhall Heritage Centre to see if they are looking for a Nova. Vauxhall Heritage Centre The Heritage Centre was established to provide a tangible link with the past, as well as offering a valuable service to Vauxhall Retailers who often display vehicles from the collection in their showrooms. The Heritage Centre is situated in Luton close to Griffin House, the corporate headquarters of the company. Here, in purpose-built surroundings, the company maintains a collection of rare and historic Vauxhall and Bedford vehicles from nearly 100 years of motor manufacturing history. One of the very first cars ever built by the company in 1903, as well as famous names like the Prince Henry and the 30/98, form part of this collection which numbers around fifty vehicles. One of the Heritage Centre's vehicles, a 1904 6hp single-cylinder model has competed regularly in the world-famous London to Brighton run since 1950. Since 1993 the Heritage Centre has opened its doors to the general public for one day each year, when these come up we will add them to our calender. There was a good article recently in Total Vauxhall.

Don't know how many times i've stopped to get a photo of this but not managed to due to traffic or something parked in front so google street view will have to do Been there a long while and I don't remember it not being burnt either. Fence must have been built around it?

Does sound like the idle screw isn't set right. If you remove the carb and take off the float bowl give the jet a good blast out with carb cleaner. The choke is on when the lever is up.

It's the carb we used when I raced World Formula, very simple and not much to go wrong.

I've owned a load of Polo's from an '83 Square through to a restored show winning G40, Polo's are awesome.
It's hard enough to find a rust free mk3 these days, never mind a mk2 but they are out there.
I prefer mk3's and I'm on the look out for a rust free non sunroof coupe at the moment for a new project.
