Nova Kit Car, Sterling Kit Car, Eureka Kit car. Fibreglass Special Car designed by Richard Oakes and Phill Sayers How I went about restoring my Nova (AKA - Sterling , Eureka) Kit Car.
Looks a very nice job. I had one in 1975. One of the original Southampton made ones, with a rare flush panel sunroof, in yellow. Standard Beetle mechanics. Happy days!
I have loved them since I was a kid, the only issue I always had was the height. They would look perfect if they could be brought down in height a bit, especially the rear. Great job though.
Mine hydraulic and uses a Smiths hydraulic pump but there's better more modern pumps and systems available. There's lots of info here:- www.euro-nova.co.uk/vb/forumdisplay.php?24-Canopy-Hydraulic-System-and-Hinge-Assemblies
Thank you for your comment. I regard the Nova as a classic car and the wheels that are on mine are in keeping with the style and size that would have been on these cars back in the early 70's and 80's. However, I do agree that wider wheels and tyres would look good
