ascona400r Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Hello folks... got this home few weeks back. One owner Manta 400, 80k kms (50k mile)... off road since 1994. Full history and every receipt that was spent on her included.... Loads of spares including axles and ronals... needs bit of tlc but totally original car. Engine totally rebuilt from top to bottom... just needs replaced and fired up.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plumster Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Load of crap, you would be much better with a nice 1980 Cav Sportshatch, if you ask nicely I would probably be willing to do you a straight swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dog321fish Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Are you going to convert it to Right hand drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascona400r Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Yea nice 'garage' find to be fair. Was bought new to be used as a track plus weekend car. Owner put cage in, upgraded front brakes to ap's with alloy bells and rotors, Opel dogleg box plus other wee touches but all original stuff there to put back to standard. Car is as straight as you could possibly want, and nothing is missing like trim etc. Plus got a load of photos over the years of her, including the day she was collect in '84 from Peeters in Belgium. Not going to covert her to rhd as it will only devalue her. Going to paint front wings as paint has came off the fibreglass and leave her as close as when she was last drove back in 1994.
