Dont be worried about coming its a fantastic weekend with friendly poeple who all have one thing in common. We all love the cars. Im sure you would enjoy every minute of it.

Still a stunning car Paul, i miss it a bit too, still love seeing it now and again, i actually quite like the earlier black grill to be honest and i still think it needs that front spoiler on it. I believe thats on james blue ascona now.

Thats shit news mate, really sorry to hear this.

Thank you Martin,

Just been posted on facebook manta club page, not ribbed velour but very nice red trim from a cavalier coupe. Perhaps monaco blue could copy the link and post for you on here.

Ive had a good look but cant find the ad again now. Sorry Ian, will keep looking as sometimes with facebook it just pops up again.

I only saw it this morning, i will try and have another look tommorrow as just off out.

There is a full set of front and rear seats in red from a mk1 Cavalier coupe on the manta b parts for sale site on facebook at the moment, They look in very nice condition if someone could link the advert for you on here.

Has Sutty still got his that he was selling earlier in the year?

12,300 was the hammer price there was a buyers premium and v.a.t. on top of that. Full price was well over 14k. Profit margin is coming down. Dont get me wrong the car was lovely in the flesh condition wise, underneath was mint no welding ever done but it just looked very plain, it didnt stand out if you know what i mean. If it had been one of the better metallic colours i think it would have stood out a lot more.

I have a copy of this article somewhere, I believe that Steves old Dolphin grey Exclusive now resides in Ireland, I drove this a couple of times back in the day when it had the 2.4 Irmscher engine fitted, lovely car and very torquey, it used to pull like a train. My good friend Dave Spencer (RIP) Viewed the red Exclusive E350 WBU many years ago when it came up for sale but already had tin worm in the swan necks so passed on it. Jackie Maher as most of you know is Micks ex wife and this car was broken up and scrapped a few years ago. As for the others i have no information.

The back end was awful in the flesh, and yes the whole car had been painted onlt thing good about it was the interior that bore the hallmarks of only covering 36k, steering wheel was mint and the front seats were perfect. Too much money and too many mods to get back to standard the cost would far outway the value in the long run. You would never get the arches back to original without new quarters and new wings.

I am, very much so I wondered if he still browsed the forums or not, thats one of the reasons i posted up on nere.

I will try my hardest.

Just a quick thread resurection, 3 years down the line. E100 OMM is now back in my ownership, 3rd time and feeling very lucky to have her back home again. Pics taken last weekend.
