Lookin on autotrader they seem quite cheap too. As u dont need the engine i reckon about £1.5k will get u a half decent nick one.

So long as it isnt rusted to fuck im not bothered

Alot of time and money was spent on that.
Olly gave me a list of what was spent - and it was all money well spent imo.

He doesnt miss it either - which is crazy, but the nova is keeping him happy.

What a transformation, looked like such a shed to begin with then one of the best mk3s I've ever seen, saw it in the flesh at pod when I went and looked at Miles nova and it was amazing up close too
