Novasportc550 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Hi all, my name is William and i am from n.ireland. I have been into my vauxhall novas for 25 years. I have had every nova from a 1.1 saloon to the 1.6 gte over the years. My recent nova is a 1985 nova sport 1.3. I have owned it for 14 years now. The car has been rebuilt by myself and was in total vauxhall mag issue 123. But I have now come to the point where I want a new Challenge and something different. Have always loved the look of the manta 400, so I have decided I might build a manta 400 rep in white.. I have a buyer for my nova sport and I am going to look at a manta on sunday coming, it needs restored from what I am told, but I like a challenge .. :-) I might need some help from you's guys to point me in the right direction.

robah Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Hi and welcome to the forum, nice bit of history to add to the post There are a few owners over the pond in Ireland. It's sad today that not many Mantas that have not already been restored, need a lot of TLC, and it is an interesting and rewarding challenge to get them on the road. Good luck with the purchase and selling of your Nova 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
