CRAZYDAVE Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/opel-manta-race-rally-track-day-car-/110953219510?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item19d553c5b6 Absolutely stunning I'd put it back to standard but its personal preference i guess. Such a rare model now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1900SR Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Like you I'd put it back to standard. Mind you, when it was up for sale before in standard form no-one seemed to want it (or at least pay a reasonable price for it). I know the previous owner held out as long as he could before letting the current owner have it to modify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midasmesh Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Isn't that the pre production prototype one used to belong to Welder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1900SR Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 It is Welder's old one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msjrb5 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Wow, thats just beautiful! I've never seen one that colour before. Not keen on the wheels but I love the rest of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapierdave Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I would put the original seats back in but leave the red top in. Interesting that the owner hasn't put a reserve on, i wonder what it will go for ? Should i add it to my collection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Fish Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 yep, then we can wind up James that one of us has a completed GTJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantai200 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I used to own that year's ago, wish I had the funds and somewhere to put it, I'd soon have it and put it back to standard. Yes it is the pre-production model with items fitted in the factory that never made it to the production model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scribe of Lincoln Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Last time I saw this it was laid up at the side of the road in Lincolnshire. Glad it's still alive - hope somebody puts it back to original. I think this was one of the press cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
