Top guy with a great car lol

Looks a bit like an escort estate in some pics,

I love how well this works, but it would be another level if painted a factory colour. Incredible work

WOW!!! Do you know I have looked at Novas in the past and wondered how best you would do that. The various bodyshapes looked like you could get the bits together to build a really neat estate without a massive war making stuff line up. That looks great!!!!!

Looking good has the mk3 /4 escort estate look

[DWDarkWheels]

Very clever. I never considered that idea.

(..but I'll take the bullet.......BIVA?)

If I saw that on the road, my head would spin round like in The Exorcist, just 'cos it's so ingenious. I think I'd like to see how it looked with a bit more low'n'wide treatment.

Found these online too:

In 1988 the Opel car dealership "OPEL Blitz" presented a Corsa Caravan.

The Caravan was based on the 4-door Corsa Saloon. In the case of delivery of a Corsa the conversion cost 5000€.





Unfortunately the dealership Artz does not exist anymore. In 1993, Opel resigned the contract with Günther Artz, officially because of unauthorized grey imports.

It is not known how many Corsas have been converted. As the Artz special conversions were mostly individual conversions, it is unsure if there was only one Corsa Caravan or maybe even 5 or 7.

It's my secret hope that one day there'll be a thread on here of this nature in which nobody says 'BIVA'. Fool's paradise.

yes!!

...on a cheerier note - Nova estate looks frickin' awesome! Whose is that famous brown Nova saloon, the Retro Cars cover one? That kind of treatment with an estate conversion would rock a fat one.

I think I'd want a 5 door one. The Back window makes it look like a hearse IMO.

[Copey]

i don't normally like Novas, but i do really like that!

[EmDee]

^ I actually lolled at the Vader post, we were all thinking it!

Really like the Nova estate, here's one of my favourites:

As far as I remember, they were actually both made by the same person! the brown one was sold though.

[Mystery Machine]

I thought the brown one was CountVauxalot's?

[edit] I was thinking about this one.... retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=readersrides&action=display&thread=37481



Don't know about you guys?? [/edit]

[dbizzle]

^^ Yeah, that's the one I was talking about.

[octagonalpaul]

ah yes, my mistake! Count Vauxhalot does have a lot of cool vauxhalls to his name.

[xbo11ox]

For the BIVA thing, if you made a nice job of it you could just pretend you bought it like that! Thats what i’d do. ‘Oh it was done years ago’, who’s going to give a sh** whether thats 100% accurate.

It looks absolutley great.
