somebody posted on f/book that they went to see it and its not very good in the flesh.

It is indeed and it was supplied by said dealer FRF Motors too. And pretty much the same time as i looked at it. They offered me £1900 for my 5 year old Manta SRB in p/x. I was only young and Deb and i had been married about 18 months and couldnt find the extra money back then.

I really like this, looks lovely, i looked at one in FRF Motors in Swansea brand new in the showroom back in the mid 80's wonder if it was this car, not many in Baryt brown.

As far as i know he went on to Japanese cars after the Manta.

perhaps the 4000 miles could be correct, ive just checked the mot history and it states this vehicle has not had its first mot yet !!! Might have been laid up in the 80s, but drivers seat looks a little worn on the lower bolster.

The sides have been painted but unfortunately the scuttle, bonnet and boot have not, there were heavy mask lines on the corners of the front scuttle and the same on the corners of the rear panel at the base of the rear window. Rear spoiler was pretty tatty to be honest with flaking paint and cracks. But like i said before im not knocking the car in any way shape or form, just an honest opinion from myself.

simple answer is that everybody wants a standard original car these days. Look at classic cars in general, standard original fetch more than modified cars. I know this car from old, and went to look at it when it was at auction, but in my opinion the bodywork isnt up to where it should be, not far off but needs paintwork and the rear spoiler isnt the best as its covered in cracks. But not knocking the car at all, just things i couldnt live with personally.

It sold for £22.600 inc premiums but that was a pretty mint car. I dont think this one is the same standard.

No its a different car from last year, That was fully up and running, road leagal and had covered 40k from new, was owned by a guy called Richard. I dont know this car, could be a nice car but needs looking at in the flesh after being dormant for so long, 15 years off the road is a long time.

I personally think that both the Exclusive coupes that have sold this week have been pretty cheap to be honest.

this just looks amazing !!

Foglights are mk1 Fiesta, i had them on my courtney Turbo and fitted them to my 2.4 Exclusive coupe when i had that, mk2 items are the wrong angle for the valence

STJ 574 Is also Steve Titmus,s number plate so along with A1 OMOC I think this was Steves car, as far as im aware he bought it brand new.
