Moonmonkey Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 That is double what A809BKU sold for 4 years ago, while not a 2 slot it is still the one Tony Fall imported and had converted to RHD. Unfortunately it gets to the point they are too valuable to use, mind you I would still like to sit and look at it in my dehumidified garage🤣🤣🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick-Manta Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 He needs to change his company name from Appreciating Classics, to Appreciated Classics in this case! Cool though! It's nice to see real ones up for sale from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starmist Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 I'm sure that has doubled in price since they last sold it 8 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being picky at that price it would have to 100% floor less all over and would need to see on a ramp wheels removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black trim and black roofliner. Also the shape of the Recaro's is more round on the top: The centre console is the same as the 1.2 manta 😁... As mine no trim on the a-pillar 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irmscher Man Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 I did think they were being slightly optimistic with the price but time will tell I guess. It was interesting to think that at the VauxAll gathering last weekend at Gaydon, the most valuable car at the event was most probably the rather unassuming looking slim bodied white Manta 400. I bet the owner of the Lotus Carlton next to us probably didnt even realise. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starmist Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Was the 400 Ian Goachers old car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club member for a long time and just coming to the end of an epic restoration, just sorting a few little niggles out. Its a lovely early 400 with full history from the day he picked it up in Germany. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
