Rapierdave Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Looks a good one, suspect it will be gone very soon at that price. http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C730322 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANTAMAN Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Would be interesting to know the date of first registration of this Manta, it is a very early one because it has the stingrays on the front wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANTAMAN Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 (edited) That is very late to be fitted with stingrays, my B coupe (pictured left) is three months younger and has no stingrays. Edited April 12, 2016 by MANTAMAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJohn Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 4th March 1976 reg, I have Stingrays, but I don't have headlights with the black inserts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deep glass headlamps with the metal surrounds should be fitted to your Manta, but production of them ceased and a damaged headlamp was replaced with a later slimmer version.

BigJohn Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Wow, an upgrade. I'm surprised it even came with headlights, it only has a three dial dash, small arm rests, 5j wheels, no head restraints or door pockets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John - the L never came with the headlamp surrounds. These were specific to the SR and Berlinetta. Check out the brochure I gave you with the car. Your special!

Well you learn something everyday, i always thought the deep headlamps were initially one of the deffining differences between Mantas and Cavaliers.
