Always liked a nova, especially back when I first passed my test in 1993 but they held their money so well that getting one was always a bit out of my reach. 

The closest I came was in 1995 when a friend of a friend had a black SR with a caved in rear quarter that I think he wanted a grand fitted on a d plate, cheap even then for an SR. 

Sadly there was no loyalty even back then with some folk and a handshake clearly wasn't enough for him to wait the 6 days until I got paid to buy it so he sold it to some other plum for £50 more than I'd offered. 

I was truly gutted at the time but I did end up getting an Uno turbo which was the far superior car in almost everyway so not too bad, although I reckon my hands might have stayed a bit cleaner with the Nova. 

I did actually get to drive one a few years later as I swapped cars (I had a mk 2 golf 16v) with a very pretty girl one night to have a blast in and it wasn't for me, pedals were a bit closer together but I loved the 6 clock dash and waaaaappppp sound it made.

Not the most exciting car and "never failed an mot" isn't true, however it is £300 and has MOT till October. Never had any body rot related advisories or fails, which is remarkable for a 22 year old Corsa...

first registered on the 21st July 1986. The Vauxhall spent from 1986 to 2004 in the collection and maintenance has been logged from new

The body and underside have never required work, the paintwork has a clean, impressive finish and the upholstery is that of an 8500 mile from new time warp

I love 50cc bikes and this looks ace.

Shame it’s a four-stroke though. Even more so that the Euro 5 regulations mean any mods would have to be taken off for each MOT.

And this from the description is dubious, to say the least:

so we have worked together with the manufacturer to bring you what we believe is what an up to date Yamaha FS1E would look like”
