Magazine Cover Vauxhall Nova uncovered after 18 YEARS! 

I’m watching from Japan, been stuck here for 14 years. So glad I stumbled on this channel.

Crazy I actually remember this car from the magazines growing up. So cool to see they are well taken care of and still hiding in someone's shed

Its nice to actually still see the max power cars still around, growing up as a kid looking at all the magazines and looking at all the body kits etc in a1 motorstores catalog as a kid, wow 23year ago

Im 40…. In a messed up society we live in today, back in the 90s… the car scene brought so many together! Great video, great car… I cant begin to count how much was spent on it! But it wasn’t cheap!

Aww she's still beautiful 😍...my teens and early 20s were dominated by the max cars and scene. God bless her and the guys and girls who keep the vibe alive in 2022

When cars where cars love the nova shape can’t beat box arches

That thing is sic as fuq. Can't believe it would be just as much in spec with today's cars. Solid.

Fantastic to see this running again and hope they bring it to next year's Max Power Reunion

I remember drooling over this years ago! Great to see it’s still in 1 piece and still working. Get it back on the road and show these “pop and bang” boys how modified cars should be

I was just grinning all the way through this

Awesome, we were all at this😀 my mate did a mint Corsa delsol wide arch with 306 headlights,was Subaru sonic blue till he fitted lambo doors and gold green purple flipped it. Still got my final fling,and IL never sell it,sti type R in yellow,best £6.800 IL ever spend 😁

Man, Most of us must remember this, I love that i keep seeing all these relics pop up still alive after so many years, Its a Key part of english car culture IMO

Oh my God it's like a kind of retrochav time capsule. Horrifying and awesome at the same time. The fridge in the passenger footwell is amazing and the twin exit exhaust. Body-wise it's like some kind of a Corsa / Integrale mashup. To have survived at all is remarkable, to have survived perfectly preserved is mind boggling

That’s been done tastefully still looks good today

Unbelievable...piece off history right there....i had a nova gte back in 99...i felt like batman driving around in that thing at only 19 years old,and woow the girls loved it😉😋

It's like a little time capsule.! Absolutely brilliant put a huge smile on my face

This reminds me of a gold 205 gti I had back in 2009 had a fridge in footwell 3 18inch Sony xplod subs vibe 6x9s ps2 TV screens and the rest

Wicked vid, brought back some memories this!! Rememeber this car well back in the day, i had ever mag. Good memories

Love seeing all these max power cars poping back to life 👌

THIS is what it's all about. Nostalgia, getting the boys round all together, cleaning her up, rollin her out, firing her up and re-living the good old days. That Clifford alarm sound brought back some serious memories for me too, they were the alarm to have! Brilliant vid. Enjoyed it a lot.

I remember this car from max power days... I thought it was terrible!! But I've sat here watching this with such a smile on my face and I'm so glad it's still about and it still lives!!! These cars are living breathing things!! As we grow,we realise it's not necessarily all about personal taste but the passion and I think we can all get on board with that! Thanks for the show all!

This is my first video, and what an introduction. Great to see an old Max Power car being brought out in to the sunshine again. And simply brilliant to see a bunch of mates getting together to help and support each in a shared passion.

Brilliant. Couldn't stop smiling. Built my Westfield with my Dad 26 years ago. Stays with you forever. Such a great thing to share. Lovely it started and ran after so long.

Great to see this vid.. I my self own a Cavalier Turbo, but last 4yrs it's been kept in my lockup, and sort of forgot about. It wasn't until Summer just gone my mate who also stores his Astra GTE in their, got me out the house up to lockup but we would just stand and talk, more than anything. But I decided to see if the old girl would start, so we changed battery over and I turned key over, and it was cranking over but very fast!? but wouldn't start...and then after few mins It hit me, I forgot I took the sparkplugs out 🤦‍♂😂, So put plugs in, and then turn of key, she fired up, and I can honestly say she slightly tapped for couple mins if that and then she purrrrrd like a kitten.. even my mate was shocked, for how long it had stood, we where expecting her to tap her ass off. . . but what a great feeling it was.. and in that moment every shit I had been through with loss of family & friends, and how I've been feeling, just went away.. I felt so good smiling like a Cheshire cat! . . But I haven't been up since then, as I have many days I just don't want to do anything or be around folk. - but my mates that are brothers 1 has Nova GSi turbo, the other has Astra GTE turbo... and they kept saying we should get them back on road for car show or meet. but hopefully one day, I'll get the old girl back the road. After all once Driven Forever Smitten...

Absolutely love this ... Seeing the cars , coming back to life... Again. Great era it was.... 90s .. And mentioned mental health at the end. For guys!! We do kinda get forgotten as we age. People forget we were mad buggers back in day... 💯💯👌👍👍🤙👊

Remember this car as it was on the cover of Revs Magazine, with Sammi the Revs Girl on the Cover. Going to have to go into the loft and dig that issue out for a read again. Do hope this comes to the reunion show next year! Brilliant Video fella. Totally agree about the Mental Health, us men do need to talk about it, my car is my happy place!

Love the story of how it was before work carried out then it was transformed & when it was top of its class at max power show & too how it’s been hidden away all those years let’s hope you get it back to its forma glory great video respect to you guys

Love this. Takes me back to my modified Corsa and some of the best times of my life. People joke now about the looks, the body kits, silly sized wheels but it was of the time.

Nice to know that cars like this are still out there ,and when they were last used parked in the garage ,and not left outside to deteriorate ,and then like lots of things thrown away

That Fridge was keepin them 90's beats FRESH

This is epic, actually made my day seeing its been kept in one piece and still mint. That's epic

Actually brought a tear to my eye seeing this little beauty fire into life and the overall joy these gave in bringing people together.. Still have the poster of this little beast somewhere from when you were featured in Max Power mag.. Just next level cool this car. ❤️

I totally remember this little beauty when I was younger. I would Steel have it to this day

I remember this 1 very clearly as I was in hospital reading about it. Awesome car.💯⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Back in the day, I also had a red top A-Corsa. I was smiling throughout the whole video while it brings the memories back. Nice one, thank you for making and uploading this!

Still looks soo good even now 👍

Over the moon seeing that this still exists. I was in love with this car when I was a young un.

channels just randomly popped up after watching my usual motoring ones. i remember this car from the mags growing up. loved the video. hooked already!

Brilliant after all these years and looking and sounding great. Still a very relive that car today.

That sound as it was turning over took me straight back to the 90s and my Astra GTE 16v!

What a blast from the past. Nice to see its still around

I left mine on the drive now ive got a hell of a job getting it back on the road to see all my old mates from the day in their old stuff if theyve still got them

Crazy Crazy - I can still see myself reading this very magazine! I had a Saxo VTR on 17inch alloys at the time and was super jealous of this Nova!

LOVE IT REMINDS ME OF MY YOUTH.

I remember reading about that car. Mental seeing it again. Thank you for the footage.

I remember this car was the reason I wanted a nova when I was 17

I've just got my 205 GTi back on the road after a very long time and I think I had that sort of grin on my face as well. Beautiful car I remember it being in the mags 👍

I'm almost twice as old as I was when this came out. I still love it and I don't care.

This has brought back so many memories ! This the courtney turbo green nova , the silver lotus nova in northern ireland reg A16VOO, Andy jeffersons nxi6789 Black turbo gsi he was the first 17" mim raffino ...the list goes on ! Thank you 😊

Love how some lads have kept hold of them. What I’d give for my cossies back

Gotta love the old Novadose days I had two of them, a white 2 door saloon and a diamond black GSi I thought I was the nuts. 🤣

This just put a massive smile on my face seeing this car after all these years hidden away. love it!

15 years and the tyres still full.....fantastic

Remember this car from max power days . Nothing like a home build car .

so cool to see that this car still exists 👍🏻👍🏻 big respect to the work he put into this car

Good to see it again, when cars were built, seen this at a few shows back in the day love it

This is the early 2000s brings back memories

Those Red tops are bullet proof. Such a great engine. I put them in mk1 Astra gte’s and a mk1 Astra van back in the day. Complete with neons also 😂 the good old 90s 😂😂

I'm 31 year old now and remember this on the redline and max power... Such a sick episode

One of my most favourite how to cover cars

I remember this car. Lovely to see it still in that nick. Fair play lads. Cheers for sharing 👍🏻

Wow that's brought my teenage memories flooding back. First car was a nova and bloody loved it. 90's Vauxhalls were awesome. I even have now a 97 MK3 astra as a weekend and fun car.

Awsome. I remember tv's like that one. They were what everyone dreamed of. I carnt believe how small they are. The red top engine is a real gem. That car is Still a kick ass even now.

Nice to see all the novers coming back out all the old ones from the From the Max power days Can't be um nice to see him coming back out Should do more maximum reunions

Oh my days. I wish i still had my MkII Uno Turbo i.e. that i was rolling round in back in the 90's. These cars made a generation. Love it.

I had this on my bedroom wall! 😃 probs next to Lucy pinder or something 🤣

Love videos like this old skool retro cars hiding away, little gem!

This was such a fun era

Brings back memories of my teenage years - great to see this still about

Blows my mind every time when I see people letting these types of cars sitting in garages for years, hopefully, they give it a good going over and change and flush all the fluids, give it a good service and keep it running sweet.

Great vid man, love to see mental health being promoted too 👊🏻. I totally remember this car on front cover, good old days 👍🏻

I remember that one so well an it still looks so good ! Love this series of discovering all the cars that made the scene from my childhood 👍👍👍

How have I just discovered this channel. You just took me back 20 odd years. Earned a sub my man

Blast from the past!! Thanks for sharing 👍🏼

The nova was by far my favourite

Good vid and great car from back in the day....the main takeaway from this vid is that little fella doing a cracking job cleaning the window surrounds and wheels....top drawer!

Awesome throwback to simpler times.

This nova was part of the reason I fell in love with novas. I can’t wait to actually see it, I’ve still got my nova shell an xe I’ve got a let block and loom too. All I lack is money and skills 😂. I build houses. Hopefully I get my nova rebiult 😊

Wow that car fetching back some memories off Max power mag 👍👍👍👍👍

Gotta love a nova bring back a classic

Don't know why this popped up but it brought back memories. I was a valeter in a Vauxhall dealer in early 90s. My mates were the mechanic apprentices and fans of max power. One had a nova that he fitted a turbo to and the other had a mk2 cavalier that he slammed to the floor, channeled a transmission tunnel and stuck a senator engine and gearbox (3litre straight 6 iirc), he sold that to a guy that put a volvo t5r engine in and promptly blew it up. He then got a mk3 cavalier and covered it in body kits and ICE but did nothing to 1.3 engine so it was slow as treacle. Guy crashed into him and he hadn't told insurance about the mods so we spent an evening stripping the kits off to get it back to standard. He then got an Astra sport (mk3 iirc) which he still owns and keeps immaculate. Went to a few max power meets with them.

Not from there but that's a throwback definitely. Awsome to see it getting a revival

That's very cool... I remember that car from when I was a young teenager, well before I could drive... max power was the thing. I'm sure I've pics of it somewhere when it was in a working progress, before paint.

I remember seeing this a show and it made me buy a nova and want to buy one again after seeing this video

Fkin hell I still have that magazine. That's a nostalgia trip right there

Remember this car well from its features and from car shows back in the day... Some really unique touches combined with the quintessential style of that era.

Front clip: Nissan ,Pulsar GTIR bonnet scoop, MKII VW Golf head lights, Mistubishi Evo V bumper with lamps, no splitter and wheel gap for days hahaha love it!!

Great to see that car up and running after 15 years 👏 😀 👍

wow i dont like many maxpower era cars but this looks absolutely amazing. looks like a mix between a lancia and a lotus carlton

I remember this car! Great to see it still exists! Had a Nova Sri back in the day when this was on the magazine covers. Good job lads 👌🏻

I had that picture on my wall, novas was my thing back in the day

Amazing! Bringing back all the Stockport cruise memories!

What a car..Great job getting it running needs to be driven again..

So so cool, as soon as soon as I saw the pictures I knew the car, I miss my GSI, thanks for sharing!

The mighty nova (none standard 🙏😁) lives on . That's 1 cool car

this is one of the sickest looking cars ever oml

Mint that. Nice one. A old old mate had a lime green one back in the day. Pimped up

This takes me back. Max Power a can of coke and a Yorkie bar dreaming of owning a car like this.

Great video mate. The enthusiasm is palpable

Very quick start After 18 years 👌🏻.
