stoo2000 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I've not seen a single Manta up this way for quite a while. It sounds like it should still be in reasonably good condition though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

couperman Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I offered £1500 for that car mate, gonna need some work tho, hope it serves you well. Did drive ok, i was out in it for about 30mins...brakes need a good going over aswell as the paint work if it's the same car. Good luck with that, would be good to see it back to it's former glory!
