Monaco Blue Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Looks very nice and only 40K miles apparently. Will it get to £20K perhaps? https://angliacarauctions.co.uk/classic/sat-7th-sun-8th-november/1988-opel-manta-gte-exclusive-coupe/?fbclid=IwAR18BSwPiIyN1W_Fgz9ES9SYSsmn2GWKZuAQnOoi_CfZGKh6nFJjzVOcULM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessopia74 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) If I am honest, it's a great time to be buying this, rather then selling. But, did a museum just sell one of these? If so it's a dealer selling this. Last V5 issued April1993 and not much info on that registration number ?

Last V5 issued April1993 and not much info on that registration number ? The museum example (E47SEC) is indeed sold as per the Facebook posting. One wonders if it was for sale or an offer was made they couldn't refuse. I suppose we will find out in due course. I'd guess the auction Exclusive has lived in Northern Ireland give its WXI prefix. 1 hour ago, Exclusive Opel said: Looks to be an OMOC sticker in the window.

Mike. Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Given the recent sale prices of well kept examples of GT/E and Exclusives, I would expect this one to do well, at least in line with current sales prices which have undoubtedly risen this year. How many Manta owners have reviewed their insurance Valuations? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a UK car just wearing a non age related plate. it was an original car in good condition but unfortunately got keyed and has been repainted to a high standard, owner has owned it for a few years and has sat on it until now. Will be intersting to see how much it fetches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has it sold, auction was today 7th November, I missed the auction due to work. It's Lot 223. The first 112 were auctioned yesterday (Saturday), the rest today from 11am. I suspect the Manta will be near the end so later in the day. Should be available to watch live online. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

®evo03 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Still consider it to be low priced considering 40k miles, very hard to find. Great buy, wonder how long it will take before it doubles in value? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great buy, wonder how long it will take before it doubles in value? If we take inflation into consideration, I think 15years. Within 6-8 years the prices will close up on the fords, but the Oreos are about 10years behind in terms of value imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
