philip1971 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Is this auto the same one wot that's been for sale sold for sale and not sold and been up and down in price and was sold last week , or a other one !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1900SR Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I don't think it sold first time, it was re-listed on a classified at £895. It looks like the new owner has tidied it up a bit to make it look better and is after a quick profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Clive sold it (he's the seller from the original listing), and whoever bought it has put it up for sale again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny D114BCW Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Sorry to say Philip but as somebody who restores and sells Mantas and parts they are worth mega money now Mantas. Most i know of are selling under the radar and others are made to order. We have just seen a soft top exclusive sell for 8k! a blue mk1 Cav is on facebook for 10k! I know of an Exclusive coupe that sold for 10k last month! so prices are great. My two i will have done soon will be a 10k coupe and a 5k hatch. What are harder to sell are hatchbacks with a poor spec such as auto boxes, rotten to the core or horrid interiors. But even they go in the end.

Monaco Blue Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 Relisted at £1195: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RARE-OPEL-MANTA-2-0-GTE-AUTO-1987-HATCHBACK-IDEAL-FOR-WINTER-PROJECT-RUNS-GREAT-/222619104708?hash=item33d521f5c4:g:k2oAAOSwsMpZjcky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irmscher Man Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Danny is right - any sort of Manta is making good money now. Just look at the '85 GT/E Hatch on eBay at the moment. It has got to £10k already and not made its reserve. It is the other end of the spectrum to this one I know but goes to show what a properly sorted car is worth to the right person. I know if I had room, I would be putting in an offer for that one. Auto hatch less desirable but as Dan says, they all go in the end. Getting rare to find now and people will take on resto jobs that would have been turned down a few years back. Converting to manual is also a doddle and shouldn't be that hard to find all the second hand parts if you want to take it away from standard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
