Monaco Blue Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Saw this over on Facebook. Very nice it looks too albeit it needs some TLC. £10-15K perhaps? https://mathewsons.co.uk/auctions/auction-dates/vehicles/16649-1981-opel-manta-berlinetta-auto 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny D114BCW Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I estimate £7-£8k 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Pounsett Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Very nice. From the video I think Danny is about right at £8k, but from the photos it looks like more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessopia74 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 That is freaking close to how my first ever manta was. Only 2 differences are sunroof and the metallic paint. But wow it's memory lane there, taking me back to when I was 18. YAG 903S was mine. As it's sentimental, I hope it goes for £20K 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutty2006 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Wow that’s nice. Rough round the edges but ready to get back on the road. Is that Amber Gold? I think mine had a vinyl roof at one point but I’m not sure I’ll be having one back on it. Love it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapierdave Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 In perfect condition this Manta could achieve £12K + In its current condition with rust underneath the vinyl roof on the C pillar & rust under the screen rubbers then i would be surprised if it achieved a sale price above £9K 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY ABBOTT Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I'll guess at 10k + in the current market 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisb Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 wouldnt like to guess in todays market, been surprised a couple of times recently with the auction prices achieved by a Manta. Never had that black coupe down as a 20k car that was recently sold there. Carls red coupe looked an absolute bargain in comparison. Something about a nice tidy B coupe tho, still hold a big soft spot for these. Will wait with interest and see what it fetches. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting never gets you anywhere...... it will fetch more in 5 yrs, banks call it capital investment, fixed bonds, fixed ISAs, but youre the bank, and the controller, under your terms, Seriously, think this car will set A Bench mark! Be interesting! Or B interesting! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
