I had a nova aswell but mine was a death trap according to a mechanic at the time another one down to my dad his logic was if it's got MOT it'll be right. Then Volvos you mention we're good motors eh go forever if treated well Yeah was a shame really nice little car just bruised up but not badly hurt Volvos are built properly like army tanks. them little novas wasn’t built to last they got a timeless look to them with the box arches bit like the lancer delta rally car back in the day I was looking for a nova a couple of months ago as I had a idea in my head of getting back in to cars and doing a project build I wanted to build a rally car as a project but soon gave up on the idea when I started looking at basic car prices and the gear needed to build it the little nova definitely wasn’t built to last 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What do you think of the Yaris and starlet they always seemed good little cars don't seem to see many starlets now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
