Irmscher Man Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Thanks is one seriously lovely coupe. Wish I had space! More pics up now and that interior looks mint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny D114BCW Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I think for the money it would need to be better for me! Shame its not original as the lights and other bits have been changed over and I also suspect it would need a full respray as its tatty in a few places, and i think it has had paint as rear number plate light is painted and the blitz on the front is missing. Rare car but I would imagine it needs work and as usual not an original GTE, think i will keep mine looking like it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see many others either. Re the white coupe, it's had 6 previous owners which would make me question the mileage if nothing else.

Danny D114BCW Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Its a rare car, making strong money. But it will still need a bit spending on it. Full respray i imagine. Would like to see the engine bay, boot and underside too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opelnz Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Was thinking the mileage was unlikely when I saw the auction, but seller claims to have all old MOTs to confirm! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny D114BCW Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Yeh i think the mileage is genuine, you only have to glance at the seats to know its not high mileage. But at £8k! i would want a few more pictures, the steering wheel is horrid, the gear stick gator is knackered, over spray on passenger door pocket and the carpet on the passenger side looks ripped or damaged near the kick panel. A rare car which made strong money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back on sale again. Closed at £7600 last time. now it's buy it now for £8K. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1988-E-reg-opel-manta-gte-coupe-/122736577891 That's a fair point about the seats. They do look good albeit, they could easily have been swapped. The Regn is E644BCN. Registered Aug 87. Last MOT was 2007. Mileage then was 34500. Last ownership change was 2002. so it had 6 previous owners in the first 5 years! Edited October 4, 2017 by Monaco Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opelnz Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 That was my concern too, that the seats had been swapped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opelnz Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Maybe that number of owners suggests the car is a lemon, and owners shift it on fairly rapidly? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philip1971 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 This white opel manta on eBay g t e coupe is located at Chester le street Durham by classic cars , that means it's only 5 miles away from me down the road, iv mailed him 3 times asking about coming down to have look at her and told him I live up the road and explained I was in to the same and he is more that welcome to do them same and I also reconise the street area .but with no avail of a reply . And then I could give a verdict on it to the members, but I have to respect his privacy. But make me thing !. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opelnz Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I suggested the Manta should at least have a current MOT being sold at a premium price, and seller has replied to say the car is provisionally sold. Sounds like a car/seller to keep clear of IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevmantacoupe123 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 wow thanks for the interest on my car guys im afraid its 35000 genuine miles and after 15 years of owning the car i can safely say that it has retained its seats that it left the factory with all its owners were in the same family who bought it new from vauxhall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to meet the buyer in person before i let my pride and joy go that i have owned for such a long time. I also like to sell a car like this preferably to a manta enthusist like my self alough this is not gauranteed as you can not pick who buy's ones car. regards 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
