yorkiekev Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 Hi, just thought I would introduce myself, just got hold of a Manta B 79 SRB, should be auto but has been converted to manual with a GTE 5 speed. First trip in it from where i bought it Gosport Hampshire to Kent, no pressure and thankfully no problems Cheers Kev 3 Quote
robah Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 Hi and welcome to Manta ownership, I use to have a 77 SRB manual many years ago. Got any pictures . Quote
davo Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 Hi Kev you say your first trip was Hampshire to Kent. Does this mean you live in Kent ? We have regular pub meets here in south east. Be good if you could come along Quote
Rapierdave Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 Hi Kev You bought the 79 SRB hatch, the chrome bumpered hatches are the rarest surviving Manta's as they were only made for 18 months. Here's a link to the ebay ad with pics. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/opel-manta-sr-/322192532384?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=tjCgg%2FPgcgxY%2BFC6z37yeebX5Hc%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc Quote
