evo3000 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Not this bloody listing AGAIN! It's getting boring (yawn). sounds like you've lost your manta mojo mate. I personally recommend you go and see doc manta,so he can prescribe you a daily viewing of manta magic,that should get you back on track. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evo3000 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) yeah it's RM30.....been converted to 4 stud and 3.0 ltr 12v Oh and i240 kit joking aside there's no denying this is a nice motor,the engine conversion looks to of been done well,the seller only bought it a few months ago off someone in Wolverhampton,the auction was ended early with a 7,5k starting bid so its fair to say current seller paid about that for it,bearing in mind he wants between 7-8k so he's only trying to recoup his money. As for selling it so soon,may of been a heart buy then realized he could not justify it afterall (nagging wife) most of us have been there As for the 400 replica tag,hey it is a 400....................road kit so its almost there . I forgot to mention the inner beauty bit.....then again maybe not. Edited October 10, 2015 by evo3000 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANTAMAN Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Yes this may have been listed many times and it is advertised as a 400 replica, not an original, true it should perhaps be described as an i240 replica but seller might not be a complete Manta Anorack like us !! But put this to one side and look at the car itself, this looks like a really good Manta and great value when you consider people (fools ?) are paying double this for a For... Fo...

There is a guy on eBay from around Chester area that does the 400 and other sticker kits he might have or will be able to make you the i240 stickers.

I have purchased anthracite i240 decals from them brilliant quality and service. Here is a link to one of their ebay ads,note they are listed as satin black or anthracite but will do other colours like the golden yellow.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-OPEL-MANTA-ASCONA-i240-LOGO-EMBLEM-DEKOR-MOTORSPORT-RALLYE-SCHWARZ-ANTHRAZIT-B-/331236340482?hash=item4d1f397302:g:G2gAAOSwhh5ToBZk Very nice purchase btw, and I hope it serves you well,you should join the club so you can become a fully fledged anorak Edited October 24, 2015 by evo3000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
