Hi,
Pretty new to the site and would like to post some pictures of my Nova (If I knew how to...Help?)
Its a 1992 Vauxhall Nova GSi in White with 81000 miles. It was at retro rides and at the classics in queens squres meets this year in Bristol for anyone who may have seen it.
It started off as a dealer car that was given to Nicky Grist (rally co driver) in early 1993. He used the car as a daily commutor to rallies and clocked up a good 60000 in 3 years.
Since then if was sat in a ban just having its MOT each year, and then I took ownership of it in 2007.
Apart from the Speedlines and Exhaust it is in standard trim. I have even kept the original cassette player in it.
Shortly I shall post some pictures up...

I have kept it as standard as possible but the 3 spoke GSi alloys are not to my taste. Although I have kept the untouched 3 spoke spare in the boot.

Original 3 spoke are tucked away in the garage, although do come out for odd show.

I had a diamond black GSi before this one. Also a great colour for a nova.
