samdawson Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Greetings! I'm putting together a big four-car feature for Practical Classics, looking at how the best European RWD coupes faced up to new opposition from Japan. To best represent the Manta, I'd like to use a GT/E, in as close to original condition as I can find, to compare against a Ford Capri, Toyota Supra and Mitsubishi Starion. It's not a 'shootout' as such, just taking the pulse of the RWD coupe market in the mid-'80s and seeing which car is the most appealing. I haven't got a date or location for the photoshoot as yet (I need to get the cars first!), so if you're interested in having your GT/E featured, send an email to me at samdawson_jps72@hotmail.co.uk, and if it's OK to use your car once we've got all the others and sorted the location with the photographer, it'll go in the mag! Many thanks Sam Dawson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiffy220 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) I haven't got an original condition GTE only an earlier SR Berlinetta, but am very interested in the article when it comes out, as I used to have a Mitsubishi Starion and a Manta GTE, so well done for trying to put this article together, should be a good read. I am sure there are plenty of members who can provide a good original GTE coupe from this club.

Mrbus Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Mines pretty original GTE/E hatch. Only lowered with a sportex exhaust. You will prob find more original but you never know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavtastic Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I have contacted them and they are going to use my original B plated Silver GTE Hatch, which is a nice original example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
