You can always depend on a total shed of a Nova being for sale. Did anyone actually finish one??

If you go >here< you'll find out everything you need to know about these fine motorcars.

Interestingly the question "Who in the name of God would be seen dead in one of these heaps?" does not appear on the FAQ page.

I particularly enjoyed

How fast do they go?

A well-constructed car with standard 1500cc VW engine can achieve speeds of in excess of 80 mph

Christ on a bike! In excess of 80mph? That's just madness. You suffocate if you travel in excess of 25mph don't you?

This week's offerings:

It's got a tax disc!

Not really a kit but I enjoyed it.

Never seen one of these before. Its running gear seems to have shrunk in the wash.

it is a tr7 1983 which means that it has had a bit of welding to bring it to mot standard

Obviously a quality job judging by the tailpipe alignment

check those exhausts out. They haven't shown the front of the car so God only knows what that must look like!!

The TR40 could really do with a wee tweek to the ride height.

You're not implying that this doesn't look genuine in any way??!

That garage is about 2 min walk down the road from me - might take the camera down and see quite how bad it looks from the front

Are you good enough to spot the difference? Which one is the real thing? A Big Boy's Book of Cars to the person who identifies the cars correctly.

Too difficult, huh? Well the answer is that the top one is the genuine article. Only those who really know their Ferraris would know that the F40 was never supplied with a fabric sunroof.

Lambo's Dashboard looks 'authentic'

[JimH]

I don't know if anyone scrolled down the photos of that couldn't see the joins Lambo but the front end is smashed in with only minor suspension damage. But fear not. The damage is not recorded in the UK.

Aha, I see. I take it they mean it's only been recorded on Lambo's own register back in Italy then

Jules: nice interior shot
