davegettingonabit Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) I am thinking of selling my Manta coupe she is MOTd until April next year since I purchased I have replaced the front callipers discs fitted an uprated fan and fitted a new battery, runs really well and is in generally good condition although will require some work to bodywork some bubbling to front of bonnet/roof and the odd marks on the body, I work at a car dealership and we put her on the ramps and she looked pretty good underneath and I am happy for someone with more knowledge than me to have a proper look, the previous owner did much work when the vehicle was re-commissioned having been stored for 10 years or so. I am reluctant to sell that is due to not having enough time to make a really great car and rarely get time to take for a run ! plus it wont fit in my garage !, it owes my a little over £5000 and I would happy to recover my costs if anyone agrees it is worth this, by the way my insurance company has insured with an agreed value of £5500, I will try and work out how to include some pictures, please send me your thoughts I am in Berkshire UK 10 miles from LHR. Regards, David. Please go to e-bay and add 291290041632 this is the advert I saw and purchased the Manta from Thanks.

opelnz Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Looking at the pics again, in fourth pic, is the rear bumper on the nearside/left as standard as it looks cut short compared with normal Manta/Ascona B? Is that normal for these bumpers perhaps? May just be an optical illusion - or I need to get my glasses replaced! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegettingonabit Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 Hi Opelnz don't think its short same as offside, thanks for looking anyway Any suggestions for a good site to advertise ? other than our site of course !

Rapierdave Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Hi Dave I have found this site to be quite good & free. http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/ Your biggest shop window will be a classified ad on Ebay. It is generally a buyers market at this time of year for classic car sales but your car is a desirable model. If advertising on ebay you need to put up 12 good large images showing off the car to its best advantage but also include a couple of pics of the minor rusty areas.
