This is exactly why I drive a Suzuki Swift Sport today. It the lightest hot hatch on the market. It doesn't need gobs of power. Just an epic chassis and you're all set. I drove a Nova SR in the 80's. Epic little machine - even with stock power! The best video in a long time. Much more interesting than boring, overweight and isolated German performance cars.

An old friend of mine called “Paul Salmon” (who’s sadly passed away) put a cavalier SRI130 engine in one of these novas. I’m 99% sure it had dual twin chokes, the car was red. It was probably 1994 or 95, he lived in Milton Keynes but spent a lot of time in Hemel. I was lucky enough to be passenger on a few occasions and it was mental. He made the exhaust from a daff lorry and was probably 4” or more, with a crazy back box also from a daff 😍

Not at all, you could get the 2.0 litre for pennies and it bolted straight in more or less! I built 2 Novas and the hardest part was running fuel lines and sorting out fuel pumps and tanks, everything else Vauxhall fitted easy. If I remember right you can drop the entire front end, roll bars, shocks, gearbox and engine by 15 bolts and unplug wiring and clutch and throttle cables and it out, same putting the 2.0 litre back. I swapped one over in one day on my own with a rope off the garage roof!

Smiles per miles is exactly how i describe it to friends etc. Its raw unrefined power. Everything shakes/rattles. You know when youve driven it. Unless youve lived and owned cars through that period you cant truly appreciate it i dont think. Is such a shame there isnt more still about on the roads.

Love what Motor addicts do. Totally my era of retro although I went down the ford RS route. Had a SR Nova as second car. First was a 1983 XR2 👍

Yesss Jamie! That’s my old car right there!…. Well not the exact car, that car ended up on its roof in a ditch 20yr ago, but it’s pretty much the same 😊 love it, give us some more old Skool hot hatches! Quality 👌🏻

There was a minter on eBay last year for £10k, but it had an LET in it, hope he kept the original engine too. Interestingly, the twin 40s weren’t actually fitted and came in a box in the boot 😂

My first car was a Vauxhall Nova SR, bought for £150 with 12 months tax and MOT, when I was 15 (33 now) and didn't know how to drive. Found it in local shop window few doors from home, called the guy, car was couple minutes away from home, went there knowing nothing about cars, bought it from the man and got him to kindly drive it down and park it for me. GCSE results day next day, so while me and peers all had mopeds, I had to leave home early to go try drive this to school, with my portable dvd player strapped up too I kid you not, took me 15mins to get car moving after numerous stalls, then decided I couldn't risk the wrath of the law by coming to standstill and trying to find biting point in open roads, so I used back roads and just kept driving and praying not stopping at junction just merely slowing down, until I get near school t junction where I had to slow down to go left, so far had been more or less straight roads, and I dare not stop but just slowed a tiny bit, swerved across the other side, oncoming fiesta head on crash, right outside the park in front of school. Car lasted just under 12hrs before being written off. Sold for parts and got refund on road tax so made a profit, got banned for 12 months £45 court costs and no points!
