Ems Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) I'm planning on selling my Manta in the next couple of months, any idea on what it's worth or should I just put it on ebay or break it? The good bits: All bushes (except for rear anti roll bar) have been changed for superflex Spax adjustable dampers all round Choice of either +40mm or -40mm springs SD rollcage with removable diagonal & door bars Blydenstein B+ Head with mk1 Astra GTE injection system or alternatively I could replace it with the original head and weber carb All welding has been done to chassis, floor, etc. Irmscher early type twin headlight kit Fibreglass bonnet Disc brakes on back Bias Pedal Box 4 branch manifold Magnecor KV85 leads Choice of (Manta black bumpers that give more clearance on front or standard bumpers Adjustable Panhard Rod GTE alloys in either white, silver or black/silver Bad Bits Ex road rally car so hasn't had a easy life! Bodywork - needs filling and painting Rollcage could do with repainting Sunroof has been plated and filled Needs new dash top & roof lining Brake lines and fuel line are inside the car, but one of the fuel lines need changing To be removed from the car and replaced with standard items where applicable, unless someone wants to make a serious offer: ZF LSD axle with steel torque tube Wilwood midlite brake kit Quick Rack with 2 new stainless uv joints TAS hydraulic handbrake Sump Guard Omex rev limiter KC daylighters (inner headlamps) Quick release steering wheel Many spares also available at extra cost Edited June 19, 2013 by Ems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manta again Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Oh bottom, just as I think about running a Manta in some form of motorsport possibly sprints you go and post this. Its exactly the sort of thing I'm looking for other than its not an A series, for which I have a load of parts. Decisions, decisions My only question is how much? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ems Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 The A series will be eligible for historic series, as for my car I have no idea what it's worth. I've had the car 15 years and had loads of fun in it, I hate doing bodywork and lost interest in it over the years but I still drive it daily to work. Ideally the roof would need changing as the filler keeps cracking, I've got a replacement in the shed. I would also change the arches again if I was keeping it as my friend put these on and got the panels to hot so they warped meaning too much filler. Better still replace the rear quarters with the panels that Titson is selling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autocrosser Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Looks like a very good basis for someone starting out in motorsport to me. All the hard works been done. Shameless plug for the bits I've got for sale (axle,brakes,ect) would bring this more or less back to current spec and ready to have fun in.

Ems Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 I don't blame you for the shameless plug! It's already been used for road rallying - the car was better than the driver! When I rallied it, the brakes were off a 2.2 Carlton, the axle had no lsd and the engine was standard apart from the weber carb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autocrosser Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 In terms of value I have no idea but I wouldn't recommend EBay for selling it unless you like spending all day answering pointless questions about wether all the valve caps match!

Ems Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 All the valve caps are black and plastic if that helps! Would consider selling as it is but I'd need loads more money to buy replacement brakes, lsd, etc! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stradacab Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Emyr, bad news you are selling, I have only met you a couple of times but I hope you will remain involved in the club. You have been really helpful to me and your Manta decals were superb! I must get those GT/J decals off you too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
