THE APPEAL

THE HISTORY AND PAPERWORK

• V5C in owners name
• Two sets of Keys
• First registered on 29th June 1992
• It is said that the first owner won the Nova in a competition back in 1992
• The cars current MOT Certificate expires on 9th May 2024, with the Nova passing this test with no advisories
• Last service and other maintenance carried out on 5th October 2022 at a cost of £942.50
• A selection of maintenance invoices in the history document the cars on going maintenance over the years
• The Nova has part service history with the service booked stamped up to 52,739 miles. The previous owner is then believed to have then used a family friend for servicing and maintenance.
• The Nova comes with its original Owners Book pack which includes the radio code card
• In the history file is the Nova’s delivery form from Gwynns Garages Limited in Glamorgan in Wales
• The current owner acquired the Nova from Car and Classic in July 2022. They say they have owned a wide range of Vauxhalls over the years but never a Nova and jumped at the chance to acquire such an original example as this one.

THE INTERIOR

• The interior of the Nova really is in lovely condition all round and looks to have been well cared for over the past 30 years
• The grey cloth seats have hardly any signs of wear, especially those in the back and the carpets are in nice shape as well
• The seller states that everything works as it should and some of the recent expenditure, which is shown in the history file, includes a new gear stick gaiter cover and new Kenwood speakers
• Even the Nova’s parcel shelf is in excellent shape and has escaped being cut or modified
• The Nova’s original sun visors are now showing their age with the internal foam breaking down, but they still work as intended

THE EXTERIOR

• The Nova is finished in classic Vauxhall Flame Red and it presents very well for a 30 year old car
• It is believed to have been garaged by its previous owner which has clearly helped keep the Nova in the condition it is found today
• As one would expect for a vehicle that has covered 80,000 miles, there are some marks and light scratches here and there. The most noticeable is a small area of rust bubbles on the bottom edge of the drivers door. There is also a small car park dink in the drivers and passenger door. A skilled body shop should be able to address these minor imperfections.
• The cars pinstripes are in good condition with a small touch in noted in one of the photos
• The Nova’s underside presents very well and the common rust areas that the model is know for look sound. There is a small patch repair on the left rear sill which is shown in the photos.

THE MECHANICS

• 1.2i four-cylinder engine
• 4 Speed Manual Gearbox
• The current owner has spent £1,367.17 on maintenance since acquiring the Nova last year, taking care of a number of age related items, ensuring that the car is in fine fettle. The detailed works are documented in two invoices in the history file.
• The owner states that the Nova drives very well with no known issues
