Your beautiful car can now also be enjoyed by others as you pass them. Thanks so much. It was nuts to see the smiles on people's faces when we drove by and when we parked in the car park to eat a burger loads of people commenting and "sayingI had one of those back in the day wish I still had it" I do hope it lasts . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monaco Blue Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) Lovely set of photos! It's a cracking looking car! I've followed the build thread for a while and know the effort that went into it! Great to see it on the road again! I hope you ate the burger whilst admiring it from the outside!

LOL my wife said we should sit on the wall oppose. But I have spent so much time looking at the outside we sat in and listened to the comments of people passing.

Mike. Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 What a fantastic looking Manta, great photos is that a Sportex exhaust I spot, how does it sound as I have bought one and I’m hoping it sounds good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's raspy. Yes sportex system excluding manifold. As I'm still running engine in only reved to 3000 and it's on the button not too loud. However it is loud enough that people loak on in discussed then realise it's a classic and not a boy racer 1.1 ans smile give thumbs up ect . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monaco Blue Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I'd say that's not a bad set of photos for a girlie! Some nice angles and decent framing. They need a bit of cropping however. Your Manta has a nice stance! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
