TheRealExile Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Lovely that, funny how some colours that wouldn't be your first choice suit certain cars,the C***i for instance looks rubbish in that sort of colour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1900SR Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Looks a lovely example, I'd want to re-instate the vinyl roof if I bought it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexb Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Ide love to know who owns it or who in Ireland sold it..... Ide part with my Exclusive for that. Ive wanted a mint A since selling my old one back in 1985 (TMO 886N.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostSoul Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I had a look at this car this morning at MBWorld. It is very nice indeed. So happy to see some enthusiastic bidding - so many cars barely managed to sell today. Maybe the new owner is a member here? LS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostSoul Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 What did the hammer go down at? Just over £22k, including buyer's premium. It would cost a lot more to find a good one and make it as nice as that one, I imagine the buyer is very happy 🙂 IMHO: Engine bay looks neater without spongey insulation around heater box and even though a good, clean, new vinyl roof looks good, the painted roof works very nicely. LS 🙂 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rapierdave Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 That is a new high price for a Manta A. Based on recent selling prices achieved on Manta A 's I think the clubs valuation page needs updating. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on recent selling prices achieved on Manta A 's I think the clubs valuation page needs updating. I think you are right Dave - the Club price guide for the Top End of Manta A's is about £15k and this has exceeded that by some margin. Time to review the price guide once again. I originally put it together in March 2023 but it was predominantly based on 2022 sale prices, and this year we have seen the sale prices continue to rise. It is about time the Manta A's caught up with the later cars. I always wondered why this was the case, as the Manta A is generally seen as a much "Prettier" car than the B - although the driving experience is quite different. Hopefully this has addressed that imbalance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1900SR Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 That result certainly helps justify my agreed value of £20k for WST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostSoul Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Please can someone point me in the direction of the Club Valuation Page... I will need to ask for an Insurance Valuation for my car - is that in your world, Steve (1900SR) please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe any rep or committee member can do it for you, I got mine done at the last VBOA meet I was at as most of the committee were there as well. Is Rapierdave a rep, if so he might be the man as I know he looked over your car not too long ago?

Lost Fool I would value your Manta for insurance purposes at £20,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostSoul Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Thank you, Dave. Is there a process for having an official club valuation please, to include in the submission to insurers? All the best LS PS: Lost Fool much more accurate! 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapierdave Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 My insurer (Hagerty) requires no photo proof for valuation purposes for values up to £20k Most insurers will accept your valuation with photos if it's sensible. Your car is worth on the open market between £15k - £20k, therefore I would ask your insurance company to insure it for £20k You know what you paid for the car so you know it's current value.

Alexb Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Just had my Exclusive agreed value set at 25k with just pics with Peter James. No hassle at all. Ide pay 20k for a top nik A Series. However it is my all time goal to own another one so im happy to pay good money for the right one if it ever came along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, Dave. Hopefully, my car won't see the open market again in my lifetime. For current value I'd like to use what I paid plus 50% of what I spend since buying. So £20k is already not far off! 🙀 My choice, I know, but I would pay more for a slightly worn original car than I would for a fully restored one (ie, mine Vs the Historics one). Most wouldn't, hence the £22k that one reached, I suppose. 😁 Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cam.in.head Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 most definately yes. a restored car is a ticking time bomb unless you know exactly who and how it was restored. but i must admit i wouldnt pay anywhere near the prices they fetch nowadays anyway .( justified or not ) im glad i bought all mine when prices were sensible lol !
