d818anr Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share Posted August 10, 2006 do you know that this was featured in a magazine. I think it was in the very first revs but couldnt be sure. http://www.chavspotters.com Andy Turner a.k.a Fat Southern B'stard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christ Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 this is sean richards old car - one of cars that inspired me to start modifying my mantas It was the first issue of Retro it was in - not the new retro cars mag but a mag from the mid 90's which started good but gradually turned into a classic MG mag (that's all they seemed to feature) and then disappeared. I've just given away a load of old Fastcar mags on this forum and i included a few of these retro mags (inc the first one) - toni (i think that was the name) has now got them. any pics of it now?

Toni Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 yes it was me but i ain't got my grubby little mitts on them yet they are still in transit so to speak [8D] OMOC 5876 anyone got a spare wheel nut! ive lost one!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Is Sean Richards still around in manta circles? Toni if its in there, is there any chance you could scan them and post them up? Ill post some pics up in the coming month, its going to the bodyshop for welding. The horrible bmw dash has been removed, the speedo and the rev counter didnt work, everytime id would change gear my knuckle would hit the plastic on the dash. I removed it with extreme predjudice. The wheels are white lattice style, which will be replaced with white revos. Someone has butchered it since 95, it hasnt been well maintained.

Guest Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 WOW! [] Thats the first 400, (be it a replica), that i've seen in yellow. Sure does look the poodles privates, the badgers nadgers, etc, etc! Always thought yellow and black made a bloody good combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
