Seller's notes: Like any 2nd hand car it isn't going to be perfect, however just a couple of minor things with this the fuel gage is a little faulty, sometimes it reads and other times not. The Radio Aerial needs replacing. The Sunroof is stiff to slide(lack of use) but tilt is fine. Nearside Headlamp is darkened as inner chrome come away, but does not affect how lamps work. It has a Piranha Alarm fitted but is disconnected, as I do not have the fob.

Here we have an Extremely Rare Vauxhall Nova 1. 4 SR. Facelift) In Totally Original Condition. This car has NOT Been Modified/ Molested in any way shape or form it is. as It was when it left the Factory some 25 Years Ago. I doubt very much if you will find another example like this one. I have looked everywhere and have not been able to find another example that is Totally Standard. I even went to the VBOA National Rally @ Great Billing in Northampton today. and could not find another example like this one. plenty of Sports. Gse. Gsi. and other's in the line up. I have constantly looked on here. Gum Tree. Auto Trader. Piston Heads. and numerous other places and have not been able to find another one. According to the Website. How Many Are Left. It states on there that there is only (1) 1991 SR with the 1. 4 Litre Engine. that is known. so Perhaps this is the Only one left. what I do know as stated. I think you will be hard pushed to find another Example that is Totally Original.

So what is the History of  J705 PRU. Well it was registered to a Vauxhall Main Dealer down in Bournemouth on the 04/11/1991 probably as a Demonstration car. for 2 months & 2 weeks. it was then Sold on the 17/01/1992 to its 1st Private Owner. a Lady in Wimborne whom kept the car for 6 years. until it was sold to the 2nd Private Owner. on 26/05/1998 who lived in Bournemouth. but then had it re registered to another address in Amersham in Buckinghamshire.

 The Nova Still has its Original Dealer Number Plates. and  Dealer Tax Disk Holder. Unfortunately the Dealer  Iford Bridge Motors. ceased to Trade some year's ago. Ironically I worked I Lived and Worked in  Bournemouth During the late 80's early 90's  and knew this Dealership very well. I acquired the car approximately 3 years ago. but never registered it in my own name as I am a Motor Trader. So there we go a Main Dealer and just 2 Private Owners from New. No lets see you find another one to Match That !!!

The Car has just 39000 Miles on the Clock. and Although I have not owned the car all of its life. I am selling it as Genuine Miles. as the Condition of the Interior. speaks volumes. the pedals have little wear. the carpets are like new. the Seats are all intact. Including the Bolsters on the Front Seats. the drivers foot well Mat is unmarked. all controls. steering wheel ect have no ware. I doubt if the Back Seat has even been sat in. NO in my Opinion as a Motor Trader for the past 30 Years. this car is a very genuine example. and as stated I think you will be very hard pushed to find another especially with only 2 private owners. and that as much as anything increases the value on this car.

The car comes with 2 Original keys. The Central Locking works fine ( No Remote. was around in them day's) it has Electric Window's Front. and a Factory Fitted Tilt/Slide Sunroof. which is stiff on sliding. probably lack of use. It also comes with a Book Pack. Owner's Handbook etc.

When I acquired the car. the Paint work was in a poor state. so I had it fully re- sprayed in its Original Colour. I also gave it a Full Service. and had the Cam Belt Changed. The Tyres had perished (lack of Use) so I had a Brand New Set Fitted. The Engine ran very rough and was difficult to start. as clearly it had been left with Fuel in it and standing for a long time. so I had the Carburettor fully Re conditioned by a Carburettor Exchange in Leighton Buzzard (Very nice and knowledgably people to deal with ) It now starts and runs sweet. The Bodywork as you can see is lovely. there is No Rot on this one. and the Sills are all intact and original. I meant to get it under sealed. The nearside Headlamp is dark as inner chrome has worn away. but this does not affect the lights and has not been mentioned on the MOT's. The car is fitted with a Piranha Alarm. but is disconnected as I don't have the fob. The Windows all-round are Data Tagged.

The 2nd Owner who bought the car in 1998 only used it for 6 years. up until 2004. when it was taken off of the Road. and stored away not to be seen again for nearly 10 years. when I acquired it. I did my bit paint. cleaned up the whole car. interior carpets etc. and then I stored it away for 3 years. but I have recently lost my storage facility. and so there for I have no where for the car to go. and it would be sacrilege  to leave it outside. so now it need's to go to a New Home. where it will be looked after and cherished. and I do hope who ever buy's this car. keep's it in its Original Condition.   The car to really finish it off. need's the Engine cleaning up and engine bay painted. I would have done this in time.

Had I not lost my Storage Facilities. I would keep this car. and would not being putting it on here.

I know there will be a lot of Interest in this car. so please feel free to ask me any Sensible Question's that you may have. There is NO BUY IT NOW. So please DO NOT ASK ME WHAT MY BEST PRICE IS. nbsp; I am not selling this because I need the Money. as I don't. This car is Not Advertised. anywhere else and has never been. well certainly not for the past 18 years. I am not prepared to end early either. It will be SOLD HERE to The Highest Bidder. By Appointment you are welcome to come view anytime.

 Like all my Auctions its normally a Low Starting Price. but I know what this car is worth. so on this occasion I am starting it at a sensible price and NO RESERVE. I have good Feedback because I am Honest. and also give good Descriptions of what I am selling. I am not here to mislead anyone. I think I have been brutally honest with what I have put here. so all I would ask is that if you want it Bid. but if you don't. then please don't have a go as its such a waste of time. Under Ebay Rules I will consider Part Exchange as Part Payment.

I would like the winning bidder to make contact within 24 Hrs and the car paid for and collected within 5 days. My Recovery Truck is NOT INCLUDED in Sale and if you would like the Nova Delivered. I can do that to any location. entirely at your expense.

Finally I would like to say. thanks for looking and Good Luck. This Car as it is. is  Very Genuine. Low Ownership. Low Miles Great AL round Condition and is a Sound Investment as it is. but if you Modify it you will loose the Value.

Good Luck and May the Best Lady/Man Win. I can as always be contacted directly on 07771 848 848 Thanks John.

I am re-listing for a 4th and Hopefully last time. My Terms of Sale are very simple. all I ask Is that the Winning Bidder make contact within 24Hrs of the Sale Finishing. and that the car is Paid for and collected within 5 days. I really do not think that is too much to ask for. its not like  some people who demand a 200 deposit and collected within 2 days. The Winning Bidder User ID tgm6. 4. 84 Has not made any attempt to contact me. even though I sent an Invoice along with 3 other messages. Yet they put 5 bids. and Won the Auction. It is such a complete waste of time if you have no intention of following through. so all I ask is if you " Don't want it. Please Don't Have a go for it ". Thanks and apologies to all the Genuine People out. there but sometimes thing's need to be said. John.

Well They say Things run in 3's and 3 Times I have listed this and 3 Times I have been messed about with people bidding and then not making contact let alone actually even bothering to come and view the car. So please kindly only have a go if you genuinely want the car. I am not forcing anyone to bid. and its such a waste of time. John.
