The Vauxhall Nova SR represented the affordable face of 1980s hot hatch culture, offering spirited performance in a compact, stylish package. When this particular Nova 1.3 SR rolled off the production line and was registered by Drake and Fletcher Ltd in Maidstone on 25th February 1987, it wore the desirable optional Monaco Blue metallic paint and featured Plaid Sport cloth trim that marked it as something special.
Its remarkable survival story began with its first owner, Mr Begent from Sandwich, who kept the car in exceptional condition through regular servicing at Guilton Forge Garage. After covering just 66,000 miles over 25 years, the Nova found a passionate new custodian in Connor Shea, an apprentice mechanic who, together with his father Colin 'Cricket' Taylor, embarked on a sympathetic restoration that included engine rebuilding, bodywork refinishing, and mechanical upgrades including a Weber carburettor.
Recognising the rarity of such an original SR in optional metallic paint, Connor chose to preserve rather than modify, selling to current owner Andy Ward in 2014. Ward, who had owned a red Nova SR as his first car in the early 2000s, had been searching for an example to recapture that youthful enthusiasm.
As a member of the Northern Nova Group, he continues to improve and showcase this exceptional survivor at classic car events including the annual Vauxhall Bedford Opel Association National Rally, ensuring this slice of 1980s British motoring history remains on the road for future generations to appreciate.
