Monaco Blue Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Nice to see this one again. It was a cracker just a few years back. Shame about the rusting sunroof surround. It does have a current MOT with the following remarks: Repair as soon as possible (minor defects): Nearside Rear Registration plate lamp inoperative in the case of multiple lamps or light sources (4.7.1 (b) (i)) Monitor and repair if necessary (advisories): vehicle under seal underneath Nearside Rear Suspension spring mounting prescribed area is corroded but not considered excessive (5.3.6 (a) (i)) Offside Rear Suspension spring mounting prescribed area is corroded but not considered excessive (5.3.6 (a) (i)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rapierdave Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Didn't realise that "Snowy" bought the car in 2017 presumably he then sold it on again. Its a shame its been left outside for the last three years & the roof has started to rust. Difficult time to achieve good selling prices atm.

Snowy Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I bought it, had fun with it then sold it to fund a different project. The chassis rails were repaired by a very respected manta enthusiasts who drives a v6 a series. Not going to mention his name as I don't think he does this work anymore. The cylinder head is an Astra gte 18E head. Sad thing was I had sourced all the parts, that went with the car, to convert it to astra gte fuel injection. The sunroof was bubbling when I sold it. Everything else is new. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
