My car is this white 1.4SR, bought in Easter 2001 when my old Nova 1.2GL failed its MOT for rust reasons. I always seem be sorting out things that the previous owner did to it and didn't tell me; the front and rear bumper irons were completely bent up, its had a new wing with mis-matching vinyl, three spoke alloys and a dubious ICE install. Never mind eh, I'm sorting it all out bit by bit.
!STOLEN! J433LLL !STOLEN!
This car was stolen from West Midlands, Near Coventry, in November 2002.
