Paul Barrett Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Seems a reasonable asking price……is it really worth that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessopia74 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 A fanatical collector or a museum might buy it, but think price is subjective. It looks like it's a 'emotionally attached' price tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike. Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Think I would prefer an original manta 400 and a lot of change in my pocket, may even get 3 x 400’s for that? that is quite a steep asking price even given it’s history, but if you don’t ask you won’t get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonmonkey Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Seems excessive despite its provenance, and a weird place to advertise such a car. I would have thought it would be better with a specialist or one of the major auction houses. A rally prepared Manta 400 sold for €83,000 last July. It was an ‘86 car but reshelled after an accident to a modified non 400 body shell so not strictly a works car, but still far better value.

I'll agree with you on that Mike, to me that car wouldn't stand a chance, even in looks against a MANTA 400, but there again that is only the opinion of an 87 year old man!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rutts Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Don't think anyone will find an ex works manta 400 for anywhere near that price. A genuine road 400 is knocking on 80k for a mint one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
