Auctioneer's Notes:
A remarkably well-preserved example of the limited-edition 1988 Vauxhall Nova Diamond, this charming 1980s supermini presents as a genuine low-mileage, one-family ownership time capsule.
Showing just 24,869 miles, it has clearly led a sheltered life, with the accompanying paperwork helping to trace its story from new.
The original purchase invoice confirms that the car was supplied in 1988 at a cost of £6,500, equivalent to approximately £22,624.50 in today’s purchasing power.
With its period Diamond trim, attractive presentation and wonderfully complete history, this Nova offers a rare opportunity to acquire an increasingly nostalgic and collectible example of Vauxhall’s popular supermini.
