Hello, it’s nice to be back.

actually I’ve been a member several times over the years.

i guess you never really get the Manta Bug out of your system.

its been a few years since I last owned a manta but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t like to renew my acquaintance.

for me it was watching those clips of mantas rallying that first captured my interest.

so back in the 1980’s when I was a younger man and my hair was brown not white I first bought a 1.8s Berlinetta in a dark grey colour.

it was a hatch with a frightening bright orange interior.

i loved that car and joined the mantas owners club for the first time.

5 different mantas  later I’ve got the bug again.

hopefully I’ll find a car soon. In the meantime I can renew my knowledge by re joining the club.

i look forward to meeting you at shows throughout the summer.

Welcome back, I liked the older colourful interiors 😊

What are you looking for this time. Hatch or coupe? Concours, project or something in between?

Ideally a coupe. Not to concerned about a project, but would prefer something easy to work on.

Welcome @Alec bayford. Will you be posting photos of any of your old cars?

[Alec bayford]
