Wide Arched Vauxhall Nova Rally or Race Car
I have for sale a wide-arched Vauxhall Nova race/rally or road car, only needing an engine, gearbox, seat and harness to complete.
This was originally a GSi model Nova.
This would make a stunning basis for an ultra-quick hillclimb, sprint, track, rally or race car. Or a very trick road car.
The car looks amazing as it is fitted with the full rallycross kit of fibreglass extended wheel arches, and it's been painted in Focus RS 'Racing' metallic blue. It has a full 'Safety Devices' welded in roll cage, and is rolling on 7" x 15" Compomotive MO wheels. It also has large front brakes and a rear disc brake conversion.
The car has been used previously as a sprint/hillcimb car, when it was fitted with a 2.0 16v C20XE engine (engine/gearbox now removed and NOT included in the sale). The conversion to a rally or race car would be very simple.
The shell has been seam welded and is in lovely, rust free condition as far as I can see. This is in contrast to the vast majority of other Novas, which are suffering from terrible rust now.
The suspension is by BILSTEIN tarmac dampers and matched springs. It has strengthened track control arms, and a QUAIFE quick steering rack (expensive).
All the pipework for fuel, brakes etc, remain fitted, as is the wiring loom, so it will be really easy to build up again.
I have the V5 log book if anybody wanted to return it to the road or use it for rallying.
