1987 Manta B 1.8 Gt Hatch

[marty GT]

really dont want to do this but due to personal circumstances i'm going to have to sell my manta hatch. dont need to do much of a write up as the pictures will speak for themselves.the car is in very good original condition having been garaged most of its life and has also been used for concours by a previous owner. the car has a wallet full of history with it including mot's,bills etc and even has a copy of a magazine the car was featured in plus a concours certificate.

this car gets heads turning and really deserve's to go to a good home.

car has covered 47k 9 months mot 3 months tax.

£1750ono.

scratch needs sorting out on front bumper.

hi mike,thanks for the interest mate but to be honest the car really is worth the asking price so i'm reluctant to drop 250 i'm afraid. as well as being in great condition its also a rare model now,according to total vauxhall's endangered list there are only 35 1.8GT hatch's left on the road. i'd be very interested to know how many of the 35 are low mileage ex concours winning cars in very good original condition

this car sailed through its mot 3 months ago after being stored for 18 months.

I can't but agree it is worth the money

[Kevin Abbott]

I looked at this car last week at Mikes house and it is a really good genuine car

With very little effort this could be a serious concours contender again, i had a quick poke under it and it looked fine, the engine bay has very little rust a couple of hours would sort out, interior looked mint, loads of paperwork with it and this car is in the billing 03 mag, it was owned by Trevor Norton then i think Mick Mayer had it.

I would of bought this myself but i would of ruined it by putting in a valver

[upk]

I have to agree with Kevin abbott, i too have seen this car in the flesh only a month or two ago and its in very good condition.

real shame you have to let it go marty!

believe me mate the radio that came with it really did look out of place in there,this one looks much neater and plays cd's too.i'm not in a rush to sell so i'm just waiting for the right person to come along and give it a good home.

[Mikejt26]

[marty GT]

£1500 need the car shifted. there really isn't anything wrong with it i'm just getting serious grief about it still being sat on the drive.

[marty GT]

[Mikejt26]

Back up for sale on eBay

[mantamike]

with photo's taken at billing by the looks of it, still a very nice motor!

[gt/e paul]

Now sitting in my garage,this is the one ive mentioned in "basic tech help" as having permanantely on ignition . which ive now sorted due to dodgy fuse box.

its still a great original gt. the arches still need doing and it drives like the 51k its now done nice and tight and quieter than my gt/e.

I have a std oe radio cassette to go back in thanks to yellowhusaberg on here .cheers mate.

and all being well will be coming to billing this year.
