Volksdevil Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) I keep coming across this one in my search for a 400R...Don't think it's been mentioned on here previously... http://www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk/detail/motors/classic-cars/opel/manta/122980 EDIT: Seems the link has changed for some reason... http://www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk/detail/motors/classic-cars/opel/manta/125588 Edited May 12, 2015 by Volksdevil Quote
CRAZYDAVE Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Nice I would want to go and check it carefully before paying £4500 though Quote
MANTAMAN Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 If it is straight and solid then four and a half for an original Exclusive is about where it should be. 1 Quote
garymanc Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Bargain if its solid and better than a 400r that you will never find unless vast sums of money are involved 1 Quote
®evo03 Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Ah, my first manta was this colour, ah good memories. And a very good reliable car. Was the glass in this colour of exclusive green or bronze tint? Quote
Sutty2006 Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 If I had the money, Id buy this, and drop my XE running gear in it. My hatch shell is showing its age. Quote

Volksdevil Posted May 6, 2015 Author Posted May 6, 2015 Bargain if its solid and better than a 400r that you will never find unless vast sums of money are involved Beauty, eye, beholder I'm not the biggest fan of the Exclusives...Sounds silly I know but it's purely down to the rear spoiler without the width of a 400 kit, just looks a bit 'Tall and skinny' to me. I'm not saying I don't like them though, I love any Manta and that one does 'look' like a straight motor. Just prefer the look of the GTE/Non Exclusive or a 400. Are there any details anywhere of how many of each colour Manta were sold in the UK? The Monaco Blue seems a popular colour. I always liked the green? Think it was actually called Oriental blue or something? My Dad had a few that colour going back in the day. Quote
guysat Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 My first Hatch was Oriental Blue loved it because you didnt see many in that colour (as my profile pic :-) ) 1 Quote
Volksdevil Posted May 8, 2015 Author Posted May 8, 2015 Nice! PS: Seems the exclusive has been dropped in price, if it carries on dropping I may have to buy it Nah, holding out for that 400R! Quote
Volksdevil Posted May 12, 2015 Author Posted May 12, 2015 Just bumping this as user: asconac20xe can't see this topic for some reason? Just thought I'd bring it to the MODS attention. I'm guessing he should be able to see it as it's in the 'open' section of the forum... Quote
Jack Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Has this Exclusive sold? The advert is no longer available. Quote
