®evo03 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Yep seen borh, also a rb25 skyline, and e46 m3! Remember this car, or very similar years ago! Search manta 400! Was this originally a rallycross car or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANTAMAN Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Followed Rallycross for 30 years and curiously there has never been a Manta competing in the UK, they were/are not very common in Europe, here's one seen in a recent YouTube video that competes in the Belgium Rallycross Historic/post Historic Championship, this is when the championship visited Buxtehude, Germany - Unfortunately there is only a few seconds of the Manta in the Video, a least it's a great shot of it 'doing a Kevin Erikson', round the outside and into the lead ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®evo03 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Nice find Ian, yeh they are a little expensive to be rallycrossing now!, but the above would be ideal, maybe better if it had a jag axle, or a healthy appetite for welded opel diffs, would be ideal if there was a half decent championship in your area, guessing it would be modified heats. Saying that, with alot of hard effort and detailing, it could make a nice road car, again! Solid roof too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
