Nova At A Vauxhall Garage

vaughanmc · 31-08-2008, 12:32

Today me and my Dad were heading down to the scrappy as I needed a brake servo hose for the Nova

My Dad was telling me about his old Nova Diamond and how it came from a garage not far from the scrappy - J.W. Scott

I knew out the back there was a big Vauxhall/Bedford/GM plaque on the wall but wasn't sure if the yard would be open

We checked and the yard was opened so we parked the Nova up and took some pics - The plaque is in good condition for the garage having been out of the go since the early 90's

Pics to follow, comments appreciated as well

Note - The Magnex S/S backbox fitted to the Nova, sounds lovely and not too OTT

Cheers, Vaughan
