Rapierdave Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Hi There are plenty of hatches for sale at the moment that are in pretty good condition for around £4500. When you say you had a soft spot for the early models do you mean the Manta A produced from 1970 - 1975 or the Manta B1 produced from 1975 - 1982 MANTA A MANTA B1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueandwhite66 Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) Hi thanks for reply , i prefer A although i have owned both models , i had a Kermit frog green 77 coupe when i was a kid, cant remember if it was a VX or Opel now tho ... Just found a 71 Manta 1.6s coming up for sale , silver with red trim . Edited March 13, 2018 by blueandwhite66 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueandwhite66 Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) Left hooker doesn’t bother me , the condition is what counts , I enquired earlier , apparently it’s a genuine 2 owner car 58klm from new , cant remember if they said one uk owner from 1986 or 96 , last owner bought it from Italy from its original owne from new , all original and never been offered for sale before , Edited March 14, 2018 by blueandwhite66 Spelling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1900SR Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) It's a nice looking car from the photos, and I love the red interior. If the chassis number they've put up is correct it points to the car being a late 1972 build rather than a 71, not that that's important. I might have to see if I can get a look at it next week.
