Alec bayford Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooker Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Welcome back, I liked the older colourful interiors 😊 What are you looking for this time. Hatch or coupe? Concours, project or something in between? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concours, project or something in between? Ideally a coupe. Not to concerned about a project, but would prefer something easy to work on.
