Rick-Manta Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I stopped alongside a B-reg 1.8S coupe in bright red the other day at some traffic lights a top Ducklington lane, Witney in Oxfordshire. The driver gave me a wave then a thumbs up as I was in my manta also. Shame he didn't want a drag race on green, either that or he did and I won by miles!!![^] A-reg Manta 1.8S Pride and joy driven daily E908 FHO Tuned 1.8 exclusive - very regretfully scrapped A723 ONM Manta GTE Auto - Totalled in nasty head on collision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted March 17, 2006 Author Share Posted March 17, 2006 I just fancied a 60's Yank, this came along cheap enough. I sold it last year then got back into Mantas... This is in Shilton next to the Ford.

Rick-Manta Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I lived in Brize Norton village just outside Carterton, nope never saw your caddy. I still live close by in Witney. There were quite a few Mantas in the Carterton area I saw over about the last two years:- E- reg black 1.8 hatch -mine A- reg gunmetal 1.8 hatch -mine A- reg silver 1.8 hatch -young chap driver C- reg white 1.8 coupe -middle aged lady D- reg silver 1.8 hatch -very old couple B- reg red/white GTE hatch -parked on bricks B- reg black GTE hatch -dumped in farmers field (by the farmer) A- reg black 1.8 coupe -30ish year old driver and a couple more that were very modified -both RAF boy racers Thinking about it that is quite a glut over a short peroid of time as I only lived there for two years during my short marriage. Also all but 3 in the above list (discluding my own) I asked the owners if they would sell them to me. Still live close by Mick? We could arrange a small local manta gathering.
