WTF May of had a problem of obtaining a proper floor section at the time of the restoration was done quite possibly With it put right and the rothmans stripes on you could be looking at a 10-15k manta here......

blitzi Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 my intension was to do foot wells in the car but at the time dr manta was around £700 in 2006 so i was going to mot car and run around in it for a few years and buy floors from retro power but a change of shift plan has put all of this on hold hence for sale ive had it 23yrs and every time i advertise i get people asking whats the least u will take for it hence its still here i dont think its priced wrong for what it is? but different people have different views i have 3 projects on the go and very little time. cheers wullie 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny D114BCW Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I think it is well priced. Going off the description I think it sounds like it needs a full restoration. The reason it won't sell put simply and honestly are because 1) the pictures are the same and rubbish, 2) the description is very good either. I am just being honest and hope my two observations help should you choose to act upon them. I would of bought it but for me it's too much as it would have to have a bare shell restoration and respray and that's into a lot of time and money. Best wishes, Dan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitzi Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 tbh it would be better hence why i said in the add fix what is needed mot run for a few yr then start again that was my plans but too much on the go at the mo so needs must but if it doesnt go i will get to it eventually but it would prob be another 2yr or so i just dont want it lying around any longer . cheers wullie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as blitzi pointed out it was the extortionate prices at the time of the restoration that prevented this from happening.
