MANTAMAN Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 The standard of this restoration is exemplary, if you can get this Manta to Billing next year i think you should plan on clearing a space on your mantle peice !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you think about it, I doubt if any car, whatever make, will beat this one, even when they roll off the production line, if there is a word better than mint, it applies to this. Really Outstanding. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
