Hi I saw both of them just seen this manta up for sale https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F163649404578 regards sie

Thanks for that I ordered some vinyl and it came looked nothing like photo ,I see this company do samples so might get better match 👍 regards sie

Thanks for info ,not doing loads of mileage so see how it goes if i end up with problems with auto box I might reconsider, do you have to chance flywheel and is it easy to put clutch pedal in, regaerds sie ps any one know is there a way of refurbishing the wood look strip on the inside of the front doors is there a wrap wood look that is any good or do people stain and varnish them ?( I will include photo)

Yes that’s how I feel now it’s been tuned up it makes driving it quite nice you can sit back and enjoy the ride ,it sounds all right as well I got ride of the small back box on the exhaust and put a straight piece of stainless steel ,the last manta I owned the previous owner had done this . If anyone knows of auto box that would fit with more than 3 speed it would be worth knowing since that would help drop the engine revs , cheers all its helpful to have so many manta brain experts to get advice off, regards sie

Yes sounds good but auto box working ok ,had it been no good I probably would go down that route, but there are not many automatic left and this one is so original it’s a shame to butcher it to much had it been like the one on sale in Poole I think I might be pinching my son’s engine out of his Mi40 BMW 3litre straight 6 . Do you know of any better auto boxes that will fit , regards sie

Hi is that 5 speed manual or 5 speed auto box car has only done just over 28,000 mile from new let me know , sie

It wii look even better when it’s had a paint job and other work done regards sie

Hi all don’t think done up date on my manta A 1.9 auto it back on the road after 10 of storage had tuned up by guy near me who’s a mechanic with krypton tuner ,so now the timing is correct it does not cut out when you brake and the put your foot down to pull out of a very busy junction (I live in village near where the new Hinckley point power station is under construction)loads of lorries and coaches so this could have been the end of the Manta and me hair raising and being an auto no chance of bump starting a case of coasting into the nearest turning . Ps a few photos now it’s had a good clean up a 4 new tyres regards sie willetts
