STORY

The Nova was Vauxhall's supermini from 1983 to 1993, sold as the Opel Corsa A across the rest of Europe. Built in Zaragoza, Spain, it was offered in hatchback and saloon forms and became a very popular first car in Britain. Sporty GTE and GSi versions made it a favourite of the 1980s hot-hatch and modifying scene.
