It was the first 6 cylinder Manta available since the TE2800 of some 15 years previously. To accommodate the larger engine, several modifications had to be made to the front subframe and many uprated components had to be used. This made the cost of the i300 very high. The performance however was worth every penny ! This is the rarest of the Irmscher models with only one known example being imported into the UK Edited February 26, 2010 by garymanc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irmscher Man Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I'd love to know what happened to the UK RHD i300 that was knocking about. I took a picture of it back at Billing in the early 90's - I'll have to dig around and find it. If it was sill about, it would be one of the rarest cars in the club - along with the slim bodied RHD Manta 400B and the single hatchback i200.

AMG Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 The i300 is meant to be stored in bits in a few different garages around Belfast. It was bought new by a brother of the original owner of Marty Drennans Astro Silver 400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
