Trooker Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 This looks too far too cheap to be true, anyone near Immingham to try a viewing/collection? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204797868351?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=GIEkepE_Rhq&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=7Tkc7MW4TEe&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ems Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 The metal back plates look like Irmscher or Hella units, the bezels are aftermarket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanG Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Interested. Are they Manta, can’t see any fixings to locate carriers in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that, looks like it’s been put together from a few surviving parts. Still some good little original bits there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutty2006 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I don’t recognise them, possibly aftermarket version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantasrme Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 They are one of the versions that was fitted to Manta's back in the day. But they look to be missing some of the fittings in those pictures. Mainly the little brackets that reach back from the metal frames to the fixing points. But also the long threaded rods that go from the front covers back through the metal brackets and the large plate that accepts them. I think they were sold back in the day to fit multiple cars you just chose different facias and fitting kits for each type. Biggest downsides to these are that the front covers have to be removed to aim the lights. Also the covers tend to deform over time as all the pulling force is in the middle, especially if the car goes in an oven for paintwork. This is a set i had some years back 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trooker Posted May 23 Author Share Posted May 23 There’s been a fair few bids since I last looked so there’s clearly still a demand, interesting to read all the comments too 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
