jonnyboy54321 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 The foglight lense pattern not being parallel to the rear bumper/ground would really get to me !!!! That's the way to sell a car - loads and loads of pics. However nothing from underneath, and lots of orange peel in the paintwork so I do wonder if its had a fresh paint within a couple of years and stuff is already starting to come through. Looks lovely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exclusive Opel Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Saw the service book holder on the driver's side, is that an auto thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cam.in.head Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 hopefully the daft side sticker things would come off and sure its certainly had a cheap blowover in the past maybee all over albeit well masked but ovelooking that and if its as sound as it seems to present then it does look a very good example. the body lines and gaps are excellent and the interior trim and presentation is second to none. this has always been my preference and argument about finding an original unrestored car that didnt begin as a high mileage worn out wreck.the quality of the interior and body fittings are as near to new as possible and to make a bad example into a car like this one would be impossible .( or very very difficult )if its as good underneath as it is on top then all is good. minor changes like the foglight,boot light,stereo etc should be easy enough and hopefully it should wet sand and re polish up to a better standard if the new owner so desired . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were quite popular back in the day and more so on anthracite Manta's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bris jas Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 That is a nice example, just noticed the buyers fee is 5%+Vat and a minimum of £600, very high and could put buyers off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
