About 16 old novae are accessible to IUE, but only five (RR Pic, V 603 Aql, HR Del, DQ Her, and GK Per) have been observed in the ultraviolet and studied in any detail. Considering that, because of selection effects, only few and the brightest objects have been observed, it not possible to draw general conclusions on the UV luminosity LUV and mass accretion rates Ṁacc of old novae. We plan to improve the rather poor statistic by observing in the near future all objects falling above the IUE detection limit of m(V) ≃ 15 (i.e. X Ser, DK Lac, DN Gem, and HR Lyr). In the following we present preliminary results for 7 old novae observed with the IUE satellite whitin our observing programmes or obtained from the IUE archive.
