1988 Vauxhall Nova 1.0

 

Must be quite grim to drive, super clean though, think it's been up before. Wonder how long before it gets ripped to bits to have a redtop shoved in it?

 

 

Quite grim doesn't even begin to cover it.

My brother had a 1.0 Nova about 10 years ago, quite an early one (A-reg), I think it had drums all round. Certainly had totally woeful brakes as I recall, and was bowel-shatteringly slow and about as spartan as it is possible for a car to be. Still, it was a Nova which gained him loads of 'cool points' with his friends....

They all had discs, usually very good brakes as they were the same size on the 1.0 Nova as a 1.6 Cavalier.They do have a tendency to seize up on the sliders, Hence the drum brake impersonation.I once towed a ton of rubble with a 1.0 Nova. That was a quite stupid and very scarey thing to do!
