As just mentioned there was the Nova operation in Japan and David Sears ran the Supernova team in European F3000?

It's nothing to do with either of them. Apparently the nickname came from the reversed name on the mould. It would appear that Nova is an official heir to Avon with company backing and big plans for the future.

Max, I appreciated that fact, and we discussed this when the original announcement was made. My question was purely tangential to it and I wasn't trying to tie the two together; just recalled the name from years ago.

There were Nova kit cars back in the seventies. Used a pretty standard format of VW donor car, but they were lets say more exotic than your average kit car. Not hugely successful but some had Porsche power from a 914. The centre section opened on struts for access. Just hundreds or so made so not mainstream.

In fact here is a youtube clip https://youtu.be/UnvAS9E1M2k


A bit of info:

And some pics (at a Nova club day ?)

My dad nearly bought the rights to that back in the day. So glad he didn't, I'd still be living in a cardboard box and lickin' t' road clean wi' ma tongue.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I think that James may have provided the answer with his posting about Supernova.
