smiffy220 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 That is the same car, and a nice mark up from the £2,500 he bought it for at Billing it is too! Good luck to the seller, but I think it might be a bit over priced, having had mine valued at only £3k and it is not very much different.

Roy Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 perhaps I shouldn't have put the 2.4 in my identical blue 45k SR and converted it to 5 speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANTAMAN Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 Slightly off topic - Roy, have you got that light blue Manta on the road? i remember that one on the back of my Bedford.... As for spoiling it, NO! the car is still all but the same except for some sensible improvements under the skin, even if yours is now on injection it wont look out of place as in Europe injection was available on Manta B's. it's only the gearbox that is visually non-standard and you'd have to look underneath to see that! There are a few top notch show cars 'out there' that have had thier 4 speed or auto boxes replaced by a 5 speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 (edited) Hi mate, its just about on the road (its a long story and a long journey!). Its ready for an MOT I just need to get round to taking it. It doesn't look exactly standard now thanks to the wheel upgrade when I had to install bigger brakes. The 2.4 I built for it is a bit of a beast so the brakes were necessary. I'll pop a couple of photos on soonbut imagecave seems to be down at the moment. I'm not in the club at the moment-family reasons , nothing to do with the club, but I look into the open forum as often as I can to see whats going on. Its good to hear from an old 'face'!
