Trooker Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Low mileage, 1 owner, looks good but the description about the seats is a tad ambitious. https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1263860 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monaco Blue Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I doubt this one will go for £14K as per the last GT to go through auction, albeit this one has 3 times the mileage. Definitely one to keep an eye on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®evo03 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Bad door and arch! An exclusive with steel wheels? Although they where mix and match in the end 88, 89, if it is an 2.0 cih, most where upgraded 1.8 shells, small differences regarding wiring loom route, although it has a sunroof weirdly, and a 18.s interior, Seen a gt hatch exclusive before, 2.0 engine, e reg, with side bump strips, rotting and a perfect sunroof rest of car was weetabix, In the end of production you couldnt pigeon hole a manta, it was a case of get what you are given. Wonder what the weirdest, quirkest add on combination, from new? What cracks me up is brown or green dash, door cards, etc, nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1900SR Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 The 1.8 Exclusive was based on a 1.8 GT hatch, so steel wheels are correct, and all UK market cars had a sunroof as standard from 1986 model year onwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not know that about the Sunroof, so on an 86car, it must be a MY85 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1900SR Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 It was optional before the 86 model year. I think they nade it standard to try and combat the parallel imports that were popular in the eighties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
