bob24lemans Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I am the second owner. I have owned this car for 24 years. The first owner did 15,000 in it. No modifications as manufactured. Model: Exclusive, Colour Red with Irmscher Fittings. New MOT. Genuine 92023 miles on the clock. Interior very good. Needs body work tidying up. Near Nuneaton Warks. I have guessed the asking price by looking at other ads so this is a shot in the dark. Offers in the region of £1700. Please contact me by email: bob24lemans@hotmail.co.uk I have tried attaching an image / jpg but that didn't work. I'll email photos but best to come and have a look. You'll get a cuppa whether you buy it or not. Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob24lemans Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 It is a Coupe (forgot that bit.) I have had 2 club members message me via the club. I am not a club member and so it seems I can't message back. Please contact me by email on: bob24lemans@hotmail.co.uk Then I can send pictures and any further info required. Thanks Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob24lemans Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 I have taken advice from Chris Reynolds who is an expert on the Manta having owned MANY. I met him when he saw my Manta advert on the MOC site. He lives 12 miles from me and has been good enough to come and inspect the car at my request. He tells me the car is over priced at £1700 and thinks a more reasonable starting figure is £1195 ono. He says the car is restorable and apart from 25 years of normal wear and tear he says it is pretty much as original. It does need considerable work though. He has given me the words for my next advert which he says would be best on Gumtree. I posted the advert 5 minutes ago and it will appear in the next hour or so. I would very much like the car to go to an enthusiast and be given the care it needs. Please look on Gumtree and message me from there. Thanks Bob.

bob24lemans Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 Dear Steve (Sutty 2006), I can't answer your email as it will not allow replies, I think its to do with me not being a club member. As I said above if you want to communicate email me on: robert@24lemans.freeserve.co.uk However to answer your message here. Sorry I need the drive way space so can't go for a part exchange. Besides I have an Omega estate which works well as I care for my old mum who need a wheel chair so the estate is perfect for that. Cheers Bob And thanks to the member who put the link on to the gumtree ad. Should have thought of that myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
