Ross Askham Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Hi everyone, After loving the Mantas since I was a kid (Dad had one growing up) I always promised myself one day I will buy one to restore. Lucky for me I recently stumbled across the perfect car and couldn't let the opportunity pass. 1985 C Manta GTE hatch in Polar White. Showing 69000 miles. Needs some work but a great starting Block that drives well and still turns heads. Picture attached. The plan is to restore it fully. Are they a good investment? Also wondered if any of you peeps had come across this one before ? Reg C607 TJU 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plumster Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Welcome & hope you enjoy ownership, I'm afraid if you are after an investment cars are not the thing to be in. Unless of course you just want to tart it up & turn it over. The joy is popping out for a drive & seeing folks pointing & smiling. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
