AMG Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I have just bought the above Manta, and was wondering if anyone on here knew any if its past? It is a 1984 GT/E hatchback in silver metallic. Here are a few pictures of it now, along with my Ascona B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Nice cars. Nice back garden too![] If you write to DVLA at Swansea with £5, they'll send you copies of all the old log books. See: http://www.mantaclub.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3665 Cheers, Joe. Did you notice when you began to disappear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMG Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 The tax book has just arrived in the post (about 2 minutes after I put this up!!!), and along with the V5, there is an issue of Classic Car Mart from Jan 04 with my car featured in it!! It belonged to a Jon Richards from Aberdare, South Wales, but he must have been a member of a club like this to be put in contact with such a magazine!

AMG Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I'll hijack my on thread, and let you see a few more pictures of the Ascona!!! Unfortuneately, it's an automatic, but that should change in the near future, possibly a red top conversion[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opel2000 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Bloody hell, that is one seriously nice hatch you have got there mate.

AMG Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I saw it advertised in the local Autotrader, and really just went up for a nosey, didn't really have any intention of buying it, as I had just bought the Ascona, and a GSi Nova a month before!!!! But when I saw it, I couldn't let it pass, it was just too good, and I don't think it was overly priced for the condition as I had looked at a few before, in nowhere near as good condition, and not a lot cheaper!

AMG Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Ascona now has a manual gearbox at long last, removed from a manta b in a sorry state. Has made it so much more pleasant to drive! Why I didnt do it earlier I'll never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
