coupeking Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Does anyone know where I can get hold of a windscreen for a 1987 Manta Coupe GTE either new or second hand (but in good condition) for completion of a full restoration??? The original cracked on removal and I thought it looked as if it had a green tint but speaking to those who know, the screen wasn't tinted (except for a blue sunstrip). Cheers.

dog321fish Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) Are the Manta Coupe and Hatch front windscreens the same ? Edited June 21, 2013 by dog321fish
druid Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Are the Manta Coupe and Hatch front windscreens the same ? I'm pretty sure they are, but not 100% confident Andy C would know.
andyc Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 All Manta front screens are the same as in size just different if tinted, same goes for the Ascona Andy
spiney_norman Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Ascona and Cav mk1 saloons are slightly different to Mantas, but otherwise yes, any Manta screen will fit.
rutts Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 could of been green tint from exclusive range. try mantasrme on here he should have a spare screen.
mantasrme Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 He tried me first as i've been supplying parts to him already but i don't have a spare screen currently.

So that's thirty quid down the drain then! I've been hanging on to this fir three years! Edited June 21, 2013 by Julian
Julian Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Nope, yours isn't a saloon If I had looked closer I would have seen the word SALOON!! Feel better now!!
Kevin Abbott Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) I have a screen and i'm close by, burnley I'll give you a discount if you join the club Edited June 23, 2013 by Kevin Abbott
coupeking Posted June 24, 2013 Author Posted June 24, 2013 Hi, Thanks everyone for all your advice and help. I've actually managed to source a new one from the continent via an agent down south. Not too expensive but wish I'd been in touch with Druid earlier. Anyway, thanks again and by the way Dave, the exclusive screen is tinted not clear as you first thought.
coupeking Posted June 24, 2013 Author Posted June 24, 2013 By the way, once I'm up and running, I'll be joining the club. I was a member back in the early 90's when manta's weren't quite as rare as they are now!!
