Nova Sports are as rare as hens teeth, they only made 502 as a homologation special. 18k seems a lot but then again Novas are incredibly popular and Sports don't come up often.

Didn’t know they were that rare. Cheers for that. Guess it’s all the kids who had um or an sr years back now have a bit of coin. Be keeping an eye on how much it goes for and probably still chucking to myself about it.

Some people might consider that a bit garish but I so, so would. Fiat 130 coupe is very near the top of my list of dream cars anyway and I've always loved the orange velour that a lot of them had. That was probably too OTT for most people but this is in another league.

The seller of this one has only owned it a few weeks, having bought it from noted CX dealer Rob Jones. Clearly a buy-to-flip - he's even copied Rob's original sales script verbatim.

It will start and run reliably, day in, day out, that's for sure.

Surely that is a Continental and not a Lincoln? (Where is Junkman when we need him?)

Anyway. -  LIKE.

Won't I do?  You're right, it was sold as a Continental.  Frank Sinatra ordered one but the order was hijacked by Elvis Presley.  AFAIK Frank had to re-order.

Win the auction only to be told someone had stolen the gearbox

That's quite nice.

I've yet to experience a small petrol 306, both that I owned in the dim and distant past were turbo diesels. An XUD, then an HDi. The XUD went pop after several years of abuse at twice the stock boost pressure, and I still kick myself for selling that HDi estate. It was an LX spec with velour seats, and I had a stage 1 remap on it. Went like stink and seemingly ran on thin air.

The ride/handling combo on them is properly French. Ideal for rural NE Scotland roads.

The average SR owner will never have heard of a Sport. This is more of a rally beardy weirdos special.

And that's me speaking as one. Think original 205 Rallye, not the badge engineered second generation 1.4 XS. Which was an ace car in it's own right.

Wouldn't be my £18k though

The back ground picture )of the garages) to that Marina van look really familiar.  Is that a 'shiter's house? Not @triggerI know but something rings a bell.

Very belated but they belong to a guy called Tony who has about 30 of them as well as a load of old Fords and Tractors and more recently Internet famous for owing the Minder Capri which recently caught on fire.

Reliant Rebel same wheelbase as an mx5

Starting bid:  £1,250

"This was one of the nicest Rebels, it was beautifully restored."  Presumably that was some time ago.

"There are videos of the restoration on youtube. The car was operational before being put into storage but I have lost my storage and have no time to recommission it. There are 2, very different cars, a saloon and an estate.  They were my pride and joy until I built my ultimate Rebel.

The Reliant Rebel has the same wheelbase as a Mazda MX5."  Why is that important?

"The car is solid and just wants a bit of love.  It has GAZ adjustable Gold Pro shocks too 😎  Engine is not seized and wheels are not stuck."

Possibly important if you want to saw the bottom out and graft in the floorpan and mechanicals from the MX5?

It would be more of a Rebel then, unless some other Rebel owner has already done that?
