TheRealExile Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 It's a beauty alright, not seen it in the flesh and I'm staying clear or I'll end up in 10 grand of debt to buy it 🙄 oh and the Mrs would most likely do me in 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he will sort out what he needs and it will have a new owner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG STU Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Hi Danny . The gentleman you are talking about came round to my house after seeing yours to look at mine and bought it. Even give me £500.00 more than it was advertised for. As he realised how good it was. £13.000 for a manta b. Who would of thought it. Most people on here said I would only possibly get £10.000. They are definitely creeping up in price. Good luck with the SALE. 🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a new record for a Manta B which shows that prices have changed dramatically. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG STU Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Cheers Danny. Its nice to know that I set a new record. My lads gutted that its gone 😭. But he's already thinking of how to spend the money 🤯 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapierdave Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Well done Stu on achieving your asking price of £13000. That's a new record for a B1 coupe but yours was the best that has come up for sale for a few years now. It took a while to sell but you weren't in a rush & it paid off. I think the fact that your buyer had another nice B1 to compare with yours helped you achieve that cracking price. I thought my 42000 mile un-restored SRB was worth £7000 + i think i need to rethink my valuation now ! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was certainly a lovely looking car. The question is, why would anyone offer more than the asking price?? You've started a new trend! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limeysore Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Dave, your car looks identical to the first Manta I ever drove. My first Manta experience was in a 77 59SRB, polar white with red interior and black vinyl roof, it was our dealer principals daily driver. The car carried the registration number NMC 4 (Norman McGill Cuthbert), shortly after I drove it the car was sent to the legendary Bill Blydenstein and came back to the dealership as a 2.2 and was subsequently kitted out with some rather nice AlleyCat wheels. Norman's wife Samantha's car was the same spec but finished in Cardinal Red it carried the plate 2 SC. I wonder what those two cars carrying those private plates would be worth today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG STU Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Thanks for the kind comments. If you don't have to sell yours then don't. Things are on the up for the early b,s. Alot of people relate to them from either having one or there parents having one . In the shit world we live in we are all hanging on to good old memories when we thought life was good and hassle free. These cars are part of them memories. Feel good factors. 😃 Cheers stuart.👌 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
