Berlinetta Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 A rare find! Not many Manta convertibles about! Is it really beyond saving / restoring?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter evans Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 Got three scrap mantas here should have a good pair I'll take a look tomorrow thanks peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Cheers Pete, as you know it's the adjusters that are the important part, being seized won't be the problem, as I will weld nuts on to the rear so as to have more meat for a socket or ring to have a better grip,. What area of Neath are you? I was transport manager and foreman fitter with Sunblesat bakery in Neath Abbey during the 60s 70s and early 80s.

Fitting floor pans and a full respray wouldnt be a major job for a lot of restorers. It would be nice to see it saved rather than broken up for parts. It's the only Manta convertible I've ever seen - and I've been 'into' Manta's for many years. Edited June 18, 2017 by Berlinetta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
