1988 Vauxhall Nova GTE AND 1989 Vauxhall Nova Sting 1.2 For Sale

We are pleased to offer an unusual and exciting opportunity of 2 low mileage Vauxhall Nova’s sold as a pair or separately. Offers are invited for consideration with a guide price for the pair – minimum £10, 000

1, 1988 Vauxhall Nova GTE 1. 6i
Sold in the UK from 1988, the Vauxhall Nova GTE was Vauxhall’s small hot hatch of the time competing alongside the likes of Ford, Renault, Peugeot and MG. Only sold for 3 years as a Mk1, the car was powered by a 1, 600cc fuel injected engine producing 100BHP and driving the front wheels through a 5 speed gearbox. The car was well made and felt quick back then, unfortunately, it was targeted by joy riders and therefore they are a rare sight on the roads today.
The car we have available for sale today is rare – a two owner car with low mileage, full history, and to totally original specification.
Finished in Calypso Red metallic, the car was sold to the current registered lady owner in 1990 for the sum of £7, 695. She thoroughly enjoyed it for almost 29 years before reluctantly selling it to ourselves to restore to its former glory.
Unfortunately, upon close examination the project would be too time consuming for our workshop currently so therefore, we too are reluctantly offering it for sale.
The car is to original specification with the original Philips 752 radio cassette and un cut parcel shelf in place. It has covered just 78, 000 miles from new with full service history. With the car is the original book pack with service book and radio pass card, all MOT certificates from 1992 to 2018, spare keys, all service and repair invoices and the bill of sale from 1990. Mechanically the car drives very well and appears very sound. It has obviously been serviced well.
The bad points on the car requiring attention are mainly due to corrosion in its later years. Within the history file there is evidence of repairs to the sill, boot floor, front inner wing and rear wheel arch areas. To make the perfect car, these repairs, although sound enough for MOT standards, are not to show standard and would ideally be undone and started again. There is bad corrosion to the right hand rear inner wheel arch and chassis area which needs immediate attention and should not pass a MOT test.
Inside the car there is normal wear to the drivers seat bolster and the seat covers are a little saggy but it is overall very nice and complete.
We have taken photos and videos of the car, including the underside for interested parties and would welcome any inspection.

** please note the mileage on the GTE is 78, 000 not 71, 000 as originally stated **



2, 1989 Vauxhall Nova Sting 1. 2 3dr with factory sunroof
This car is a rare original 3 door Nova with a factory fitted slide and tilt sunroof. Kept in the same family since 1992, the car has covered just 40, 835 miles from new and only 1, 200 of these have been covered in the past 20 years due to being in long term storage.
Remarkably, especially for a 30 year old Nova, the original body work is in fantastic condition with only slight surface rust spots which are very visible on a white car. The battery tray and bulkhead are as new, and the wheel arches and sills are rust free with the original spot welds clearly visible. The only area of slight concern is a small rust spot in the right hand boot corner.
Inside the car the carpets and seats are all in great condition and the original Philips DC670 radio cassette (with code card) is present. There have been no modifications and the parcel shelf has not been cut.
With the car is the V5 registration document, numerous old MOT’s before storage, the original book pack with service book and spare keys.
With the rarity of good hot hatch Nova’s now attaining the prices they quite rightly deserve, this 3 door car with factory sunroof is the perfect donor for a GTE rebuild. Alternatively, it could be re commissioned and used as it is.
We have taken photos and videos of the car, including the underside for interested parties and would welcome any inspection.
