1972 Nova Kit Car 1.6 twin carb

Summary:

The ultimate seventies kit car

Faults:

The engine was replaced due to vandalism. Sand was poured into the fuel tank.

Speedometer cable snapped.

General Comments:

The car was very quick and handled very well.

My car was factory built (number 12), but they can also be kit built.

My car was fitted with a remote control electric hydraulic canopy.

Near horizontal seating position.

No luggage or boot space.

Real eye catcher and a great posing car.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Just a thought, how would you get out if the car ended up on its roof?

The hydraulic gas rams that operate the canopy are strong enough to lift the Nova if it should ever happen to be the wrong way up!
