biffy1984 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) My brother in law spotted this while out and about today and sent me some pics. Tax due 2011 according to the DVLA site so not been off the road just that long. Edited February 8, 2017 by biffy1984 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irmscher Man Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Ouch - thats going to take a lot of cash to restore. Shame, it looks like it was a nice one before the tin worm got to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shug Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 That'll be pricey getting it to the mainland, never mind the rest of the way. Unless adzthestig can fit it on his fishing boat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GerryC400 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Brave projects there lads. But as cars are getting rarer , I get it . I got a cavalier 2 door saloon at the moment that really should be scrapped .........but ascona 400 replica or the chance off, despite the amount of work I am going to have to do and the amount of things that could go against me on the way . I will soldier on ........... Shug I potentially know of 2 manta A s , one in Aberdeen that has been pictured on this forum also I spotted a manta A near Duffus IV 30 postcode. That's a few years ago now , 4 or 5 ........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E.motorspares Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 What's the location details any contact number or way of contacting owner thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shug Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Had a good look at this on monday, and chatted with the owner. Its an odd car. The front end pretty much needs replaced. The inner and outer sills are shot, are as some floor panels, the jacking points and the upper inner wings are toast. rear valance has gone. I call it an odd car because the chassis legs look fine! Swan necks are perfectly solid (at least on drivers side, couldn't see passenger ones) Lot of welding, but with a solid chassis it should see the road again. Owner will be restoring it, and I passed on the club website to him so hopefully he'll pop up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
