[Sharon SR]

Vauxhall Nova 1.3 SR

First Registered: 1st August 1989

First owner had it from new untill we saw it on eBay in May 2003. It was going to be scrapped as it failed it’s MOT test on some minor welding. We travelled to Oxford and saved it. £10 of welding and a handbrake cable saw a nice new MOT certificate. Since owning it I have fitted new Bilstein shocks, lowered it 35mm and fitted 288mm Vectra V6 front brakes.
