Abstract
We present IUE UV spectra of the three recent classical novae N Sgr 1982, N Ser 1983, and N Mus 1983, obtained during early decline, transitional stage, and nebular phase, respectively. The line spectra are discussed. Preliminary conclusions concerning CNO over-abundances, shell geometry, and speed classes are drawn.
