ANDY ABBOTT Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Wonder if the fuel lines are still routed underneath the jacking points 🥴 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessopia74 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I guess all things considered, it’s potentially a good starting point for a refurb., but in all honesty 4.5K? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick-Manta Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Going back a few years, this car was sort of known on and off here and was a young woman's run-about when it had a pastel orange paint job. I wonder if the mileage is 210,000? A recent bottom end rebuild, previous head work (and I remember someone asking for advise in tech help about it) and mention of the knackered diff, it most likely has seen some use. It also went from way up North to very South from its last change of hands! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some very funky looking welding and pipework was going on. May have been sorted now this was a couple of years ago when I seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winnj Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 SUV story wasn’t the one I was thinking of, at work and pasted what I thought was the one I’d read http://www.diseno-art.com/encyclopedia/concept_cars/opel_manta.html This one might not damage the name as much as an SUV 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®evo03 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Can see the manta A influence, although back in the day we where meant to be driving futuristic designs.

It’s like GM caught a glimpse of the 220 in its design phase and went back to their own drawing room, presumably drunk, and had their way with the pencils and straight edge 🤣 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
