MANTAMAN Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Yes i know its not a Manta but someone on here might know something. on monday 2nd November i caught a brief sight of a Kadette C Coupe on a trailer being towed by a 4x4 (Landcruiser?) It was traveling from the A1 into Hitchin, Hertfordshire. From the brief glimps i saw the car look stripped out,it was painted in that 'kermit the frog' green colour and (i think) had a yellow front wing and black bonnet. Is this an unfinnished project that has been bought by someone? had this car had its welding finnished and was on the way to the bodyshop for painting? Though not a Manta its an Opel from the same era and in 'my' area,so i'm curiuos to know more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinBricknall Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Not seen that one Ian but have seen a bright orange two door Kadett C in MK a couple of times. I seem to be going in the wrong direction each time I see it. One day I will be going the correct way to follow it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4x4 was our Shogun, and the car had just been collected from it's owners house on it's way to our workshop.... So from a brief sighting, you can now follow the rest of the project as it unfolds right here.......... http://www.retropower.co.uk/projects_kadett_16v.htm We are completing the welding work, doing the paintwork and a 16V redtop conversion.

welder Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Always fancied one of them. Very nearly bought a GTE many years ago but decided to keep the Manta I had at the time. Ah well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
