KevinBricknall Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Spotted this in Windermeare Drive, Muswell Hill, London. Any one in the area want to check it out. It may have been scraped as the tax had expired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dynamytedan Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 i had a quick look this morning and well , it really needs a shed load of work , just to get it looking ok . clearly it hasn't mooved for ages , with a big build up of debris under it and around the tyres . the panels didnt look all that bad for rust . however the paint will need more than a clean and polish in places . the roof is all a bit tatty , i don't quite know what's going on there . its got a sun roof on the inside . and what i suppose, used to be a vinyl roof that's peeled off and come apart in many places , then the missing bits filled with some seam sealer and under seal ?!?! inside looked damp and dirty as you would expect but all things present as far as i could see . chassis rails looked rusted , with the underseal peeling away in many places to reveal that .couldn't see any holes directly (just looking though the arches) sills looked al right at a glance . but i think you can assume there probably will be welding required . and its a automatic with a red interior . i wouldnt say its a gonner but its well on the way . for someone who wants a big project .

manta88 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 How cool is that Don't think it has moved for a while as the road is very dirty under the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinBricknall Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 I think it must have moved as I'm sure it is facing the other way on Google Earth to my pictures and does seem a bit cleaner. Wonder what else Manta wise can be spotted in street view? I know mine will be soon as I was in the street near the car when the Google Earth Car want by. So only a matter of time before Milton Keynes is mapped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 the stealth is on - in the batcave : from late last summer though by the looks of it if you google map -104 tib street manchester- then streetview it and spin around you ll see her there looks like theres a bug though as part of tib street will take you through to oldham street for some reason , which is the next city street parallel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
