Danny D114BCW Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Why is this car being broken for parts,this is the one out of total vauxhall i think? this would make a great car for any manta lover, those stickers will not last long with a heat gun on them. Nabybody shed any light on it?

Rick-Manta Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 It's a bit odd how he's titled it breaking for spares and then gone on to describe the car for sale as a whole. I imagine he wants quite a lot for the entire car so he's open to discussion if anyone wants the engine and box or whatever. As it's still an unfinished project it isn't going to be worth quite what he's after, as a guess! I remember this one when the Total Vauxhall chap had it at billing, not on the clubs field. It still had the 1.6 CIH and looked a lot more standard, apart from the GTE kit which its had for years and he had some even bigger wheels than the current ones which were revolting. It's not uber far from me either. Shame there's no indictation of price apart from the 99p washer jet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 YUP!

deanosabby Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I had a look at questions from people and he is not breaking it. He has it in that section because it is cheaper to advertise there. Oh and I am the highest bidder on it Ta, Deano. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantasrme Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 He wants £2950 for it apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymanc Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 that must be against ebays listing policy.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanosabby Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Ebay have removed it for breaching their listing rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantasrme Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Its back on again, HERE Was apparently removed for being in the wrong section, which will prob happen again as its still in the wrong section Strange if he's doing that to save on the e-bay fees, as its cost him twice to list it so far. Considering it was half price listing fees in the car section this weekend, and thats the only section where there isn't a sale price percentage taken by e-bay He would have been far better off listing it correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Abbott Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Another 'fad' manta owner............ No use for it now as it's not needed to keep the odd manta owner buying the mag. Take the barry stickers off for gods sake if you buy it and burn the barry steering wheel. car looks quite solid as it's an early one though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fasterthanyou Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Seems a shame that he is now getting rid just because its not doing its 'job' anymore. I hope a club member buys it really, at least that way it would be saved and loved. I would have it but my Mrs has now limited my quota to 4! Just bought another coupe she doesnt know about so thats 5 already!!, its gonna hit the fan at some point!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacksun Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Its only about 15 miles from me. Always liked the orange. A weekend of wiring and welding and this would be done. Have to see how high it goes. I would remember to put the ziebart back on the wing that he's started to scrape off. It's there to stop it rusting not be pretty. Mantas do love to rust. You can get away with an ecotec pipe instead of the sfi box so the bonnet willl shut as well cant you?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
