Met him briefly at Sywell and he seemed like a fun guy full of energy. You certainly seemed to have a real laugh together.

ANDY ABBOTT Posted May 23, 2022 Author Share Posted May 23, 2022 Things will never be the same. Everything manta now seems pointless without him. Completely and utterly devastated. 🥺 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Pounsett Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Sorry to hear this sad news. I never met Danny face to face but did buy some parts from him last year. We exchanged quite a few messages and he was always friendly and helpful. My condolences to everyone who knew him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monaco Blue Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Completely shocked to read about Dan passing away and at such a young age. I'm another that never met him, but had many discussions with him over the years re Manta's. He will be much missed. Deepest condolences to his family. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY ABBOTT Posted August 16, 2022 Author Share Posted August 16, 2022 So had a few hours on this last Saturday first time I've been able to go near it since Dan passed away. I finished off installing the R9 fuel hose up at the rail, finished off installing the loom, fitted the new coil. Couldn't get a spark but figured out a bad connection going to the coil and got that sorted. Filled it with 10 litres of fuel and went for a start up. Ot started and was just cutting straight out. After a lot of head scratching and messing around I finally realised I'd made a massive school boy error !! I hadn't fitted the earth to the back of the manifold 🙈 Made me laugh though as Dan would never have let me live that one down 😂 Car now runs like a dream and will hopfully start to progress with it over the next few weeks after my holiday.

Remember him selling a really early b, 1976, had A series style manta logos on wings, ultra rare. Wasn't this kitted up to a 400r? 🤔 Oh ......Great job Mr Abbott, as always...... Another beaut, always wanted a red exclusive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
