henry21p Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 White opel manta GTE - 80k miles. All original parts - being used as my spare car when BPB is sick - inherited from my grandfather when he passed away. Just sailed through an mot. has lots of tax on it. D registered (whatever year that is) It's white. So are the wheels. Arches are sound... little surface rust on roof (small bubbling of paintwork where mum scratched it with her handbag). New exhaust, immobiliser and alarm. Can throw in a gte exclusive for spares as well if anyone wants. Been to manta club (you can check on their forums for the discussion on its value) - they reckon that 1000 would be a reasonable price this age and in this state, but I can go to 900 specially for you guys if you can buy it quickly. My grandfather would be turning in his grave, but funds are short and it needs to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Robinson Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 I had a white Manta GTE when I was 18 and loved it - I am so tempted, but have no room I;m afraid. What I can confirm is that they are fantastic to drive round roundabouts so at £900 well worth snapping up 😬 Good luck Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry21p Posted August 24, 2004 Author Share Posted August 24, 2004 Steve, your endorsement helps! (p.e. everyone - the drive wheels are at the correct end on one of these!) surely someone wants it, even if to drop a v8 in and mess around on track?!?!?

lowlander Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Hi Dave ,. I'm afriad I couldn't commit to buy it without having seen and driven it. If its still for sale when you are due to come up to Edinburgh drop me a mail and we can discuss the options. All the best. Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Sumo Posted August 25, 2004 Area Representative Share Posted August 25, 2004 Oh happy days ! I had a 2.0 Exclusive Coupe until a couple of years ago - had to sell to make garage space for the 7 - very reluctant sale of a car that gave me a lot of fun at minimal cost. Very difficult to get front wings and door skins for Mantas now, otherwise parts OK and cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Sewell Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 loved my GT/E Exclusive Coupe. Sold reluctantly with 120,000 miles on the clock - whilst adding 40,000/annum ! Wish I could buy my old car back some days. Low tech luddite - xflow and proud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry21p Posted August 25, 2004 Author Share Posted August 25, 2004 well you can have my one for a few pennies to relive old memories? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Robinson Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Oooh , what I would have given when I was 18 for an Exclusive. Mine was just a stock GT/E (but with a nice loud exhaust 😬 ) Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
