Description

Vauxhall Nova GTE in Calypso Red Metallic (Rare colour)

Rarely used. Has been a garage/ show queen. Has been a joy to own. An 80's icon!

Trailered to the odd show and kept indoors in a dry heated garage on trickle charge over winter.

Car is OEM plus BUT I have the original wheels and trims, the original suspension and exhaust etc...

This car can be put back to concourse easily.

Full nut and bolt restoration and glass out respray. All done professionally

Any inspection welcome

Last year had Bilstein B14 coilovers fitted all round (brand new) Car has done less than 50 miles since they were fitted!

Purchased the car in 2017. Immediately stripped and began full restoration - No expense spared

Fabrication carried out by PD Fabrication

Paintwork carried out by Russ at Platinum Body Works (Barton)

Hundreds of receipts -- £1000's spent

Full service history and I also have paperwork dating back to when the car was originally purchased from new!

Fully documented vehicle history.

2 previous owners. Last owner had it for 20 plus years.

All glass has REG etched inc sunroof. Every exterior light is REG etched.

Loads of replaced parts mostly GM.

Engine had a full rebuild and since then the oil has never been black! Serviced every year even if car has not been driven.

Impeccable rot/ rust free shell.

Original car, not re-bodied. Hundreds of photos to prove.

Anti rust treatment carried out -

Waxoyl at respray - since been upgraded to Dinitrol ML

Bilt Hamber Dynax UC every year!

This is a jump in and drive away car that wants for nothing.
