Supplied new by Ted Salisbury and Sons Ltd, Cambridge, on 24th March 1989 and presented in Glacier White with a Grey cloth interior. This example shows 94, 350 miles and has only had 4 former keepers. It has evidently had a comprehensive restoration finished to a remarkable standard. The vendor informs us that this was done with factory originality the key motivation.
This Nova is supplied with the original book pack, service booklet containing 3 stamps and a bundle of previous MOT certificates. Outside, it has been subject to a remarkable bare metal respray - the Glacier White paintwork gleams in the autumn sun. It is as good on top as it is underneath, and the engine bay presents superbly well too. Inside, the original specification interior presents well, showing no obvious signs of tears or wear.
It’s been a long time since we have seen a Vauxhall Nova GTE, let alone one to this standard. This may be one of the best available for sale in the country at this moment and is definitely one of the few. Be quick before the price goes up and they become very expensive, don’t say we didn’t tell you!
