I guess it's the right time to get those moulds back to work....

So desperately wanted one of these as a kid!

Used to stop and chat with a guy building one locally, and I can remember my disappointment upon hearing it fire up and hearing "beetle-clatter" instead of some super car howl...

I guess there's the option of Subaru conversions now?

That sounds really terrifying! Other (older) options are Porsche flat 4 or 6 and I know of at least one that has been converted to run an Alfa flat 4.

Good luck to them asking £20k for a Nova, but it's not for me!

I was only thinking of a two litre N/A not a WRXSTI type thing!

Ok, my bad! That does sound a bit more sensible!

Silly asking price but we can all be silly.

Not even correctly registered.

A good conversion is to fit the Pie Valley new chassis with MGF running gear (or there's even a 3L Audi option). Nice new chassis and good running gear to give it a new lease of life!

I agree with you, it would be a good idea :
