About Me

My name is Leon, I live in Leicestershire, not far from the M1. I am 30 years old, I have a girlfriend who also likes retro and classic cars (luckily for me) My other car is a road rally/sprint spec 205 GTI I might finish one day.

I've been into Mantas since I was about 9 years old when my neighbour had a green Berlinetta and a brown Cavalier Sportshatch. The Manta was rotten underneath so he took the panels off the front of the Manta and fitted them to the Sportshatch, giving him a SportsManta, half brown and half green. He drove it like it was stolen at all times and it made an impression on me that never faded.

Fast forward 21 years, I bought a late 1.8 Exclusive hatch in Monaco Blue. It has a GTE interior, quad lamps, GTE skirts and wheels. It's none too scabby for a late exclusive and I drive it sideways wherever possible.

Hi Gunman
As Rob doesn't seem interested in your manifold, how much are we looking at for postage from over the water?

It's the 86 GT/E coupe which is up in the for sale section (the one posted by paul manta)

The one on the car has 0000 in it which matches up to the newest MOT.

But the old MOT's have 000 and an L on the end like on the V5.

Thanks

Rob

Aye this was the problem on mine! My letter from the DVLA didn't say they needed me to fill in a form though, they just said a new V5C would be issued (and it was) following a discrep noted in the MOT.

My 88 Exclusive has this - the number on the logbook is slightly different to the one on the car (I seem to remember the one on the car has a suffix, an extra 2 letters or something)

MOT station flagged it and I got a new matching logbook from the DVLA a couple of weeks later.

I bought a 205 GTI from Coelbren years ago, when I used to live in Brynamman. Is the forestry still accessible, I suppose they shut the gates these days
