Thornton-le-Dale: a North York Moors village guide

Bangers & Cash

Restoring Classics series 2, episode 2: Dave's choice of a 1992 Vauxhall Nova

An independent guide from the village. Not connected to Mathewsons or the programme. For entries, bidding and the catalogue, go to mathewsons.co.uk.

First shown on Yesterday on 18 May 2023, episode 2 of Restoring Classics series 2 is built around a 1992 Vauxhall Nova Merit Plus. The car was Dave's suggestion. As with the rest of the programme, the Nova is a Mathewsons auction purchase, and the episode follows its restoration with the aim of selling it on afterwards.
