Stonymanta Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 You will have to put up some details bud, as per forum rules Advertised elsewhere and offered abroad too. If you know the car, then pictures not required. It won best pre 1975 Griffin trophy in 2011 at Billing. I'm looking for a reasonable amount given it's 8 year gestation. PM me please.

Rick-Manta Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 ^ It's not the personally knowing the car or yourself at all, it's the rules of the forum to have details in the advert. Plus I'm sure some people who haven't would certainly like to hear about it anyway. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenny dock Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 ??? When I had stuff for sale in the past I was reminded to follow the forum rules. Price etc... Nice car. Would be good to know what it would cost. Price Seems to be shrouded in mystery. Sorry to moan a wee bit. :-) Kenny 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon p Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 No problem Kenny, you're quite correct. I've emailed him, if he has amended it by the end of tomorrow , I'll delete it. I do know the car well, had a lot done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANTAMAN Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Thats harsh Rick. i don't know what the value of Commy A's is but i think it should be at least this price, OK we all think Manta's should have more value than they sell for but i know this car very well having spent many hours under the bonnet of it myself and i can testify that this Commy is in truely exceptional condition, it really has been restored top to bottom, there is no part of this car you could improve upon The Commodore A GSE was an exceptional car for it's time, this example was built in 1971, as standard it has Bosch fuel injection, ( very like whats seen in a Manta, just an earlier version ) on the 2.5L six cylinder engine and in standard tune produces 160 bhp. put that into perspective, the average family car was an 1100cc Escort Popular !! The Commy was faster than the contempory Porsche 911 !! never marketed in the UK, in Europe it is well reguarded as something special helped by racing success, European saloon car racing in the early seventies was dominated by Stienmetz Commodores. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonymanta Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 Stones aren't rare, this definitely is. You'd pay well over £3000 for a GS coupe that needs some restoration and then, if it's come from the continent you've got to ship it too. Resto costs are high because of the trim and panel replacement costs, Plus this isn't a German built car, so I guess you have to be serious if you want to consider buying it ;-) ! Ok, it's now going on wider circulation for sale, thought I'd give OMOC members first dibs. Cheers, Simon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1900SR Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I think Rick's point was that getting a price (or any detail at all) out of Simon for the car was like getting blood from a stone, not a comment on the price itself. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonymanta Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) Point taken. See 'Commodore Project Underway' in 'Your Project' section for details. Basically if is was broken or damaged it was replaced. This has been a long journey and I am reluctantly selling. Cheers, Simon.

Rick-Manta Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Yes, that's right ...but in all seriousness, the car is an absolute beauty, where it's rarity and one off features would pretty much make it priceless anyway. I hope you find a buyer but it's a shame you have to sell it and you seem very proud of it, of course we've all been there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
