Irmscher Man Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 The interior on this car looks amazing…..those rear seats! Shame no engine bay or underneath shots tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny D114BCW Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I like that. What a rubbish advert though. And i wonder if the engine is tuned or just a 2.4 lump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

".....and has plenty of power with its 2.4 tuned power plant". No mention of what though. Agreed re the rubbish ad. You do wonder if they really want to sell it. More so when it's a £20K car. It does look very nice in Platinum with matching alloys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it says tuned 2.4 - but is it tuned or a stock engine? you would think they would mention the mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a sticker on the boot that might give a clue. Could be a Blydenstein one. There's also a 'Manta Magic' sticker in the rear window. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutty2006 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Another 20k motor. Lovely looking condition but definitely needs some engine bay shots and more info on the motor. I wonder what the legs are like! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

®evo03 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 It truly is amazing how many of these are coming out of the woodwork here, i do recall this car, but that was from at least 15yrs ago. I would say alot of cars here are from the uk originally, some registered with ni plates age related plates eg, ABC 1234 I was out for a spine one day and just happened to be driving past a house, guy was out cleaning his manta, first time outside in ten years, i would say alot where bought around 15, 20 yrs ago, as people knew they would always have a following, as they have rally pedigree. I would say alot will return to the uk, know of a few that have gone that way. Nice car, dont know much about it unfortunately. Any one seriously interested should at least contact the owner for more pics and info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo3000 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Awesome example😍...never welded😮 and still mint and original in that area thats worth a lot in itself..nice subtle mods..the engine is the cherry on the cake for me being the ultimate CIH..👍.can't see it being around for long though.

®evo03 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Just a note, think photos are limited to 9 max on gumtree, seen a comment that someone didnt like the rear speakers, why comment on something so trivial?, didnt mention the rest of the car! Why even speak? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monaco Blue Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Now on Car & Classic. Still £20K. https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1412670 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo3000 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Again very nice example,...would like to see this on on auction to hopefully achieve its best value.. this manta is a major box ticker for me. However with that said the fact it has not sold yet would indicate price is wrong...perhaps this would bring somewhere near 15k at auction.🙃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the poor pictures and vague description that’s not helping I feel. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monaco Blue Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) Just for completeness, it's now listed on Ebay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/125085657920?hash=item1d1fafab40:g:5pMAAOSw4R5h1caV From a post on Facebook, the roof is blistered local to the sunroof, as is the sunroof itself, and the rear box rotten. All original and unwelded otherwise. In his opinion, it's a £12-13K car. I'd say perhaps £15K on a good day.

Done right it can be £3-4K in painting so it has got to be factored in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyboy54321 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 realistically how good are these these 2.4's compared to a standard gte 2 litre? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much, a reworked 2.4 does have the potential but a C20xe is a better engine to start with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blydenstein tuned 2.4 means it will be an absolute stonker of an engine and will eat a xe for breakfast..all day long in fact an all day breakfast😄 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
