Mickfrad Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) Looks a bargain at that price, can’t see it being around long. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1979-Opel-Manta-1-9-SR-Berlinetta-Auto-New-MOT-Tax-Exempt-/154801468223?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 Edited January 22, 2022 by Mickfrad Photos added 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooker Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) If I had garage space I’d be off to look at that myself. Certainly seems like a bargain. Edited January 22, 2022 by Trooker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealExile Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I'd buy it too, very nice but need to move a project on to fund it, got the bugger running with a new starter but need to sort tatty bits of bodywork out which will sadly take me months at the pace I can work on it.

Tatty bodywork & slow pace - you & me both mate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rapierdave Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Russ's (Droopsnoot Firenza) old car, Project thread from 2015 Current owner wants £5000 for the car, so a bargain imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed mate. I really like this too, but I would be buying to use the shell essentially 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealExile Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I have to buy it now to stop you, I see your tactic 🤣 I would end up sleeping in it if I didn't move the other project on first 😬 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRealExile Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 It's non Opel Carl not even Vauxhall! It will sell for top dollar come spring but right now after Christmas I'd probably end up even at best, serves me right for meddling in the dark arts! And not allowing myself enough time to finish it to get it ready for sale before winter struck. Can't get it above 7 degrees even with the garage door shut so no good for paint or bilt hamber to cure, might get some nice heat lamps to help and seal around the garage door (will need to seal it all up when painting anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®evo03 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Used clear plastic strips from a factory warehouse door to seal mine, stops the wind and rain, didnt stop a blizzard though ????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not see it until my man would have got it back to Hull tbh. I checked previous MOT history and it does look like it's had swan-knecks repaired 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
