Picking it up tomorrow. http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C357051 Description said no MOT but when I rang them they said it had a brand new one. So can drive it home.

spiney_norman Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I had D275 JPR, hope this one never gets as rusty as mine did! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scribe of Lincoln Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Well done - glad this has gone to a club member. Looks like a good un - will you keep original? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amantafan Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 Just got back home with it. 130 miles, no problems. Took the long way. Wasn't going to, but it ran so nice I had to get off the Motorway and onto a "proper" A-Road. To answer the previous post, it's completely original down to the GM branded radio, original Dealer number plates and even the Dealer sticker in the back window. Just seems wrong to mess with it too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Estimate of 2-400 quid... I bet it was a bit more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amantafan Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 It was... but not that much. Any guesses? Happy to tell, but honestly curious what others think. I think I got a bargain no matter what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stradacab Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Oh go on, I'll play. 550? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapierdave Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I have a sixth sense that says you paid £900 for your Manta If it is in good condition then you've got a good buy IMHO keep it original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amantafan Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 Aha, the cat's out of the bag I see! Auction results are on their website. Yes, hammer price was 800. Fees and whatnot took it to 900. Had 1500 spent on it in 2010 on sills & rustproofing so should last a while. Got hold of the previous owner, ex-member on here. Nice guy, got lots of history from him. Traded it for a Senator and missing it already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
