Sterling kit cars (and copies)

Originally produced in England as the Nova kit car. California Component cars brought it to the states in the very early '70's. The name was changed to Sterling and it spawned a legacy that is still being produced in some fashion today. The car (or some form of it) has been produced under various names by various companies. There is still at least one fabricator producing them now. His name is Mike and he owns Solid sterling in oregon. I have compiled a lot of this information from other sites, found pics online and have recieved a bunch from sterling owners. if you find any pic's that might be yours, let me know so I may give you credit. If any of my information seems wrong please E-mail me so I can correct it.

I own one, and have found a whole lot of info about this kit. So I decided to drop it all right here.
