Matt Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 That head unit must have been designed by someone who gave no fucks about their job. There does appear to be an Austoshite button mind. wuvvum, Lord Sterling, somewhatfoolish and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timolloyd Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 That later rounded dash somehow manages to look like more of a lash up than the original boxier version in earlier cars. Still, very nice indeed. Uncle Jimmy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymous user Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 The car is lovely, but that really is one miserable radio with a blanking plate for a cassette. Lord Sterling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 That looks great, i had a K plate 1.2 SXi many moons ago and seeing the interior in yours reminds me of it, they are fun little things to drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0ldCh0d Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Around 2001, When I had my 1992 J Reg 1.4 SR, I was always, always without fail, being stopped by Lothian & Borders (Police Scotland Now) finest traffic officers, Even though the car was road legal, taxed, mot'd, insured etc & I did not drive like a loon, It did not matter where I went, even if they were going the opposite way, they would swiftly about turn,& stop me, Under the guise of" routine stop"Then proceed to check my tyres etc & always, always if stopped at night, the old torch shone directly onto the hazard light switch & then the ignition. I got used to it. It was because they are rather easy to "take", If you know what I mean. Top Tip....take the hazard light switch with you, every time you leave it somewhere. I used to do this with my SR. Speaking of SR, I Have a Full, complete,Steering column, with keys & ignition barrel & SR Steering wheel, Sitting in my garage, If it is of any interest to you, give me a shout. dome, DVee8 and RichardK 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DVee8 Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 Thank guys It is a great little fun car to drive.4 speed box,the clutch bites a little high but ok.the engine needs a little Italian,which i/we have been doing gently.Fil weighs in at around 20 stone and 6.3" so the car does struggle with him on board. Their is 3 dents in the roof,now if they were upwards i may know why ;-) but they are not,and 1 dent in the bonnet.The near side rear wheel arch is a little scabby,as is a small patch on the botton of the passenger door.It will be up for sale soon.

I know exactly what you mean, didn't believe it until we put late 1.6 GSi running gear into a 1.3sr we used for autotests and sprinting. Seeing that what I thought was an urban rumour was actually true was eye opening. Cracking Nova BTW DVee8! DVee8 and 0ldCh0d 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UmBongo Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 1991 A Vauxhall dealer somewhere in England. Jake Fandan is choosing the spec for his new motor vehicle, a Vauxhall Nova. Salesman: 'What colour would you like your car to be, sir?' Fandan: 'Grey.' Salesman: 'And the interior, sir?' Fandan: 'A kind of beigey grey, please. It will match my grey polyester suit from C&A.' Salesman: 'Yes, sir. Righty-ho, sir.' Nice car. My pal had a white SR in the 90's. It seemed fast at the time...

primeradoner Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Help Help. The distributor has packed up on the Nova,or should i say fell apart..Has anyone got distributor for a 1991 1.2 Vauxhall Nova PLEASE..I may have one from when we used to use Astras and Cavaliers for Oval racing. I will check when I am at my unit on Tuesday. From memory the black cap dizzys were prone to failure and we preferred the red cap dizzy from the Mk2 Cavalier. If all else fails I would recommend ringing H & H ignition services. They will be able to repair your old unit for a reasonable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
