Rapierdave Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Seems cheap for a coupe, is there a catch ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike. Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 I see it’s got the quad lights instead of the rectangle ones, Exclusive back bumper and the irschmer infill panel between the rear lights apart from the non stock items I presume this would be a non sunroof which eliminates the rust worries, the paint looks fresh in the photos, if the underside has been well looked after addressing issues as they have arisen then I would agree, quite a bargain to get into coupe ownership. The owner says he has had it for at least 15 years. Is that round OMOC stickers in the back window, is the car known to the club? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monaco Blue Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 (edited) It does look tidy. Not convinced those seats are correct for an August 84 registered car. I'd expect to see the burnt orange interior. Edited July 30, 2018 by Monaco Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANTAMAN Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I thought that Gery interior with what I refer to as 'Deck Chair' seats was later, and I'm sure I've seen black 1800 Berlinetta's with the Tan interior, what we need is Steve Hancock, 1900SR, he'll put us right !! It does look like a good'un, even if it did require some chassis rail or jacking attention it's a far better looking starting point than some Manta's being restored currently.

1900SR Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I'm fairly sure that it should originally have had a velour interior, however as with a lot of cars it's had some changes over the years (B1 steering wheel, quads etc) so it's probably had the interior swapped at some point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robah Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Does look like a bargain and maybe the seller hasn't done research? It is somewhere near me and if I wasn't laid up after surgery I would have taken a look at the usual places of interest. Looks like someone is going to be a happy Manta owner soon.

Danny D114BCW Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Its offers over, if it was £2500 it would now be on my driveway Get well soon Rob, get yourselves over to a meet sometime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
