moodoo Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 (Mods, if this isn't the right forum, please feel free to move this!) Folks, I've recently required a 1972 A-series. I'm in Ireland, but the car was originally English, and it still has the original tax disc on the windcsreen. The reg was LAR 353L. I would love to know if anyone on here can help me out with its history? I know its a long shot, but she has an 'OMOC' tax disc holder on the windscreen, so maybe whoever had her is still here? Its white, with a vinyl roof, but I believe she may have been green at some stage of her life. She currently has a 5-speed box, and injection from a Rekord I was told. Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks muchly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANTAMAN Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Hi Moodoo, in your saying hello and welcome thread i asked of your A was white. A one time Manta club member who's name escapes me,used to run a body shop in the Lea Vally north of London had a white A series that was fuel injected and Five speed,but i'm sure this one didn't have a vinly roof, and being a body shop owner this car was immaculate.

frustratedmantagte Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Ian think you are thinking about John Sneddon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welder Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 That was definitely John Sneddons car. He ran Brookwood coachworks. The car was white with a black vinyl roof and ran a B series rear axle. Not seen it (or him) for years so nice to know the cars still about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Not this year but the previous 2 years John was at Billing, had a stall on the autojumble with his friend. The car was sold about 2 years ago on ebay. John was well into the A series mantas and could turn his hand to pretty much anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
