marty GT Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 (edited) 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.

marty GT Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) I could give you all the speil but it is a great looking car . The top I can go is 15 . 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.

Kevin Abbott Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
