The Vauxhall Nova was announced in 1983 and was GM’s first front-wheel-drive supermini; a class that Ford’s Fiesta had dominated since its launch in 1976. Like other small cars the Nova was used widely in the Unit Beat Panda car role, a system of policing pioneered in 1965 which continues to this day and allows Police to cover much wider areas during a single shift. Although some forces used Nova saloons, most used the Nova in its more versatile hatchback form, as modelled here.
D183 TVK was used by the Northumbria Police to patrol the urban areas and housing estates of their county.
