Sorry dont know where else to put this but been away from the manta scene for a few years can someone help value my 400 its fjz400 some will prob know the reg number for those who dont its a fully resto'ed 400 imported by myself in 2003 and completly restored with all new panels and kit with no expence spared. The car is as good now as ever and would still be able to compete in any concours..

Not sure of a value, but would love to see your car as your not far from me. Good luck with the sale, hope it goes to a good home.

Tough question indeed........

The spares are worth quite alot on there own in fairness.

My 2 cents worth is basically that i own one myself. It's a one owner from new which i am lead to believe is the only one owner in existence left. It has a complete and i mean complete service history from new including original bill of sale, import papers etc etc, basically everything from new. It also has had a brand new engine rebuild costing over 5k with 0 miles done since rebuild. It doesn't need any welding whatsoever so which is nice. Really only needs a top coat of paint which i reckon will cost between 3 - 4k to be done right. Interior is mint and it came to me with the original irmscher 400 kit. When all is done and she is rebuilt to concours condition I value her at about 30k stg.
