Ems Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 It's time for the Manta to find a new home. It looks great from a distance but close up you'll see it needs a respray, which is the reason I'm selling it. The Manta was built up from a shell 11 years ago There's a video of it on the HubNUt You Tube channel which was made 2 years ago.

The sealant where the rear arches join the body has cracked in a couple of places leading to water getting under the paint – it has been sanded down and hand painted for protection The side skirts, front wings and nosecone need to be fitted properly Paint peeling on rear spoiler. The Irmscher headlight bezels need work to make them fit properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irmscher Man Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Sorry to see hear that you have decided to sell Emyr, I know it isn't a decision that you have taken lightly. I have attached the link to Ian's video below, as this is probably the best advert for the car! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ems Posted July 1 Author Share Posted July 1 Thank you for the link Paul, I think it will be better for the car long term if it went somewhere with a garage or to someone who could paint it. If it doesn't sell it won't be a problem as I still enjoy driving the car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ems Posted November 8 Author Share Posted November 8 (edited) After several people just wanting to talk about Mantas and a no show, it's still here if anyone is interested. Edited Monday at 16:43 by Ems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ems Posted Monday at 16:59 Author Share Posted Monday at 16:59 £14,000 no offers, to a club member. It will be an ideal winter project for someone who can paint the car themselves or just drive it as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
