To be honest, we don't know what is lurking underneath but by the condition of the front panel, it probably doesn't bode all that well. I would stick my neck out and say estimate of £4000 - £6000 but I guess we will see come auction day. It is a bit unusual in that it is a 1 owner car, an early Facelift B, looks very original and has 43k on the clock.....so who knows! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The market has been in such a strange situation over the last 2 years that I understand it’s hard to judge what’s the real value. Posstives are, Manta has had some good TV time and press Negatives are the COVID tax that drove all car prices high, more so for Classic cars. So the rest of this year for any cars that are sold will definitely give us openers are better valuation of our cars, but I do not think the OMOC members are far wrong with figures, the auction houses do not have enough previous (stable) market information to give best estimates realistically 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutty2006 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Some people pay more for the dust, and the fact that it’s parked in a barn. £4K for the car, £6k for the dust and barn. Seems legit. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapierdave Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 I've got a feeling that this car with it being unrestored, one owner, low mileage, non sunroof could go for quite big money. i wouldn't be surprised if it makes £10K + 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cam.in.head Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 the price of some stuff now is unbeleivable. weve all scrapped better looking cars in the past and if that was on sale on a forecourt in the day in that condition you wouldnt pay £50 for it. looks like it needs a full restoration and thats on what you can see.personally if it goes for above a grand i would be suprised .but it will ! cant see 10 thou at all myself . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutty2006 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 All I wanna do is clean it. With a before and after photo. But I’m guessing that would devalue it slightly haha. If the necks are in “good order” then who knows, it might be a good un underneath 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanG Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Must be a trend covering a car in bird shite, mine got bombed at the weekend by a pigeon with what looked like a terminal case of the shits. Bastard then bombed my new car, looked on eBay for an air defence system but no luck so far. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

®evo03 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 I just bought it, stuck it back in a barn, for another 30yrs, put a flock of flying friends in to do their work ..😭😭😭😭 make it look authentic. Should have explained.....photos where taken when found, then must have got a rain shower being transported to auction. Anyway, should explain pics, my bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
