I was going to buy this but I really wanted a GTE. Although I've converted 1.8's to GTE's before its getting harder to find all the bits.

I'm sure he'll get more that he asked for on eBay.

It's really nice, 2k doesn't seem a lot for a rust free example with a full MOT.... like you say it could well go for more on Ebay.

2k is not much at all,taking into account the good health of this example,the hatch sadly is still the poor relation to the coupe, and its reflected in the market values.

The irony is a hatch cost more than a coupe when new, that's respective of which model it was that is.

Good luck with the auction chris

and the 1800 is the poor relation to the GTE, and then the GT is the poor elation to the Berlinette !!!

 and all of this is so unfair, it is only looks and opinion that divides Mantas, the Hatch and Coupe are the same from the driving seat and the 1800 is a lot closer to the GTE in performance than people imagine, this fact make the undervalued 1800 a very smart buy.
