Shug Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 If I had the money spare I'd take it off you in a heartbeat! Was this the one featured in practical performance car some years back? Thats the car that made me want a manta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was made by Trevor Lewis an ex Manta club member. I cut the vents for cooling. Cheers, Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul1393 Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 can he still make them ? I haven't spoken to Trevor in years. Perhaps someone on here from the North West -Trevor's from Blackpool- may know if he is still making fibreglass parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Abbott Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Trev has been living in Cyprus for many years and recently got back into mantas. He does fibreglass stuff still but I'd be supprised if he took the mould with him. John at RALLYTECH kept all the other manta moulds so he may have that too Or contact Trevor on Facebook Good luck with the sale, it's a great car.

paul1393 Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 Thanks Kevin, I have reduced the price to £9995 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul1393 Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) I have now reduced the price to £8,500. If anyone would be interested I am willing to sell the car less engine and g'box @ £6,000. This is a rust free Manta, almost marinated in Dinatrol anti corrosion wax in every single cavity. Wheel arch liners protect the underside of the front wings. I will include a complete front panel assembly with the engine-less car in case the new owner wishes to fit an original 4 cylinder engine. At £6,000 it would be cheaper to buy this car less engine and box than have a professional restore and refinish a rusty shell.
