IanMc Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Will it cost the buyer to get it to the UK? How much for the car? Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manta400john Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Think this is the one that was for sale in Fife about a year ago, think the wheels need weighed in and the originals put back on.....will look better for it. As for the pedals...... Nice car nontheless. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the pedals...... Nice car nontheless. John. I agree with that, I also don't like the spoiler, imo it wrecks the original lines of the car. Nice looking motor though.

stradacab Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 But "modifications" aside this looked a very clean car back last year- and easliy undo-able Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanosabby Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Looks like a bit of bubbling under the paint on the drivers side wing just at the bottom near the door. I agree that the wheels and spoiler look shite on it and not forgetting the pedals for crying out loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nponmantas Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 This must be the first time that we are selling a Manta back to the UK , normally their is a transporter full exported to Ireland on a regular basis, nice car though but I agree the pedals wheels and rear spoiler spoil the originality, the twin lights are a very nice modification and enhance the look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick-Manta Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I remember this one, it's had those wheels for years if I recall correctly. I personally like the wheels but have to agree with the pedals I'm all for changing things like that but smaller alloy ones would suit better, I think they'd fail an MOT if they're closer than 5cms apart. Lovely car though, does this have an Opel GT rocker and a polished rad tray with silver 2 etched on it? 3950 euro's is about 3950 pounds thanks to Gordo Brown.

dunmanus Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 (edited) thanks for putting on pics for me, yes i brought this from scotland last year, i recently replaced the wings so they are perfect..the rest is as i bought it, price and ferry can be negotiated, ive since spoken to the previous owner of the car in the U.K., he tells me it has an ashley exhaust also and it was 2nd overall at billings some time back, and its a genuine silver 2..silver rad shield and brass top rad...the pedal covers are a 5 min job..
