    Quite odd how it's UK registered, as a Vauxhall but LHD and racing for a Belgian team!

    Re: Nova Rally Car Photos

    i seem to remember that back in the day when Vauxhall entered events, if they were abroad they would change the badging to Opel. as for the UK plates, it happens more often than not that people abroad will keep the original uk plates on the car so if it did ever get sold, there would be plenty of photos showing it competing with those plates therefore keeping with the history of the car.

    i know a guy down west wales who has an original works nova, used it many years ago, sold it when he needed to, but then bought it back. he doesnt use it or will ever sell it, just keeps hidden in his barn.

    I bet it's hiding somewhere in a garage.
