Frodo Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Hi my name is Chris and have been a member for a while and now a fully paid up one, but never posted anything, so I thought I would introduce myself. I’ve been a manta fan all my life having owned 3 back in the late 80’s early 90’s including one which I turned into a full 400 rep.(oh I wish I still had it!!).So wind the clock on 30 plus years and with family all raised i finally managed to get my hands on an exclusive, the one I always wanted back then but couldn’t afford, and boy it brings back great memories on just how much fun they were to drive, no fancy gimmicks just a hoot! I look forward to getting more involved and possibly getting some help with a few original parts that are missing including the original irmscher steering wheel which if anyone has for sale would be very interested. chris 11 Quote
Jessopia74 Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Hey, nice car Chris. Welcome to the club officially 👍 Sure you have noticed that the members only areas are now all available as a paid up member, there is some excellent information in there, but ofc post up any questions you may have. The exclusive steering wheels and pads do come up for sale now & then, but it might still be worth making a post in the WANTED forum as many ppl do have items they don’t advertise as such. 2 Quote

Metalbasher Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Hi Chris and welcome, nice car there for sure. In what area are you? Quote
Stephen pye Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Lovely looking Manta , I'm hoping to get another in the not too distant future having owned a 1.8 Berlinetta sportshatch and a red GTE coupe in the late 80s Quote
Shaun400r Posted January 26 Posted January 26 I will have a look tomorrow at my unit fairly sure I have 1 will let you know 👍 Quote
Frodo Posted January 26 Author Posted January 26 Great thanks very much guys for the welcome I am based over in Northern Ireland, looking forward to getting more involved in things, that would be great Shaun if you had one just let me know how much?. The car itself was totally restored 3 years ago, I have all the pictures from the rebuild and the guy made a great job of all the bodywork, but unfortunately made a poor job of re- spray. It looks ok but not great up close, but I will be getting a full re spray done next winter as I want to enjoy it this year, and get any other wee bits sorted 2 Quote
