1900SR Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 (edited) Model: Opel Manta 1900SR Year: 1972 (1974 registered) Mileage: 42000 showing Tax: May 11 (free) MOT: May 11 Location: Sutton Bridge PE12 9YT Price: £4995 ono Additional Information: I'm losing one of my garages so it looks like I'll have to let one of my Mantas go. It was registered in May 74, so is on an M plate but was built in December 72 so is in the Historic tax class, meaning it's free road tax. It has covered about 2000 miles on a rebuilt engine (including hydraulic lifters),and was fully resprayed in June this year. It has a Weber carb fitted with an Empi filter which could do with a bit of fine tuning. The interior is pretty original apart from the front seats which are from a Rover "Tomcat" Coupe, and a VDO Dayton stereo with sat-nav and six disc changer. It has a part stainless steel exhaust fitted. The matt black bonnett has a couple of marks which could need touching up, or it could be polished to a satin type finish. Any more questions please pm or ring me. Edited November 18, 2010 by 1900SR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1900SR Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 I'll still have my blue one, and the sale of the orange one will help fund some of the work that needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1900SR Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 (edited) Not a member at the moment, don't know if he'll join or not. The car's going to stay on the mainland, the chap's from Derby way. He's got a couple of other classics and had a B n the past.
