I will report on ASCA and RXTE observations of the early X-ray emission from the classical nova V382 Vel (=Nova Velorum 1999), which peaked at visual magnitude 2.6 on 1999 May 23. The nova was not detected in the first RXTE observation on May 26. Subsequently, it was strongly detected with BeppoSAX on June 7/8, (Orio et al 1999, IAUC 7196), with ASCA on June 9/10 and with RXTE on 4 occasions (June 20, June 24, July 9 and July 18). The X-ray spectrum was highly absorbed and hard in the early detections, and subsequently became less absorbed and lower in temperature. I will present an interpretation of these data in the framework of an internal shock model.
