1989 Vauxhall Nova Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Handled exceptionally well, very light-weight but felt like sitting in a tin can. The fact that it was a sports edition probably helped. Build quatlity not excellent, but fine for the type of car. Reasonably cheap to run around town, not so good on long journeys. Parts very cheap - biggest bill less than £300.

great starting point for modifying, ease of parts, but finding a good one nowadays is rare. seriously fun in standard form but to get the full potential from this car spend money and get the 2 litre 16 valve engine

Bit of a Max Power chav stigma attached to the Nova SR now, but in its day. Great car for not much money.
