Redrob666 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Finally picked up my Manta Berlinetta yesterday and really struggled to get it to run with any load on it. Worked out that the nearly new condenser was duff and finally managed to cobble another 12v condenser to do the job and drove 150 miles home really happy ( except the lights but that's another story). Anyway have tried all the local motor factors, my son deals with most of them for his bodyshop business, and they all say Mantas were not made before 1980 and all had 1.8 or 2.0 engines. Now where do I get the correct condenser, and all other service parts for that matter. Is there a company recommended by members? I sure hope so cos I definitely have a pre 1980 Manta parked at my house and I need to be able to get bits for it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
