Given the spend on the restoration, I suspect the owner will be looking for £7500~£10K. A lot for a hatch, but it does look mint. As you say, will be interesting to see what it sells for, or if it reaches the reserve whatever it's set at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irmscher Man Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Very nice job and a lovely colour too. Nice that the mods that have been made are all reversible, good thinking on the owners part there as it will appeal to more buyers that way. If it was a coupe, I could see that easily making £15k, be interesting to see what it sells for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an aside, just noticed KGF are selling this 79 Escort 1600 Sport for £20K! One wonders how much they'd be selling this Manta second time around! A lot more than the last time for sure! http://www.kgfclassiccars.co.uk/details.php?cid=746 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berlinetta Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Good price for it. Though in comparison to the prices some Fords are making was it a great buy for somebody? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irmscher Man Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Once again.......food for thought for those that reckon Mantas don't fetch good money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
