Manta B
Collection
More club cars?
Owner: Gerry
Cantwell
| The dolphin grey is
original GT/E Exclusive, 31500 miles on clock, previous owner was my
father in law. I bought the car off
him 5 or 6 years ago, too good to mess with, hence the white GT/E
Exclusive which I bought 2 years ago.
This car has had extensive restoration
work done on it by myself , then the 400 kit was fitted, managed to
paint the car myself this summer.
It is 90% finished, the intention is to
get her on the road next spring.
No mechanical mods done yet!
Still running 2.0 C.I.H. engine.

Both cars were shown at Aberdeen golden
wheels, hopefully get one to Billing '04. Didn't make it to Billing this year as my
"FORD" let me down!

A
photo of my latest quest to get another Manta project on the go.....by
stacking up my existing mantas, by the way never mind the MGB, its just
a visitor and will soon be finished.

I have just bought a manta B this week
(21/12/2004), its got all the extras described on the website.
Blue interior, alloys x 5, Sunroof and
vinyl, it's a 2.0 SR/Berlinetta. The car has had only one owner and
covered 14000 miles since new, but is in need of work. |
|
Apparently the previous owner washed the car
with stones in his cloth and ruined the paint.
Since that sickening day the car was put
past in a garage and the weather was getting through the garage door,
rotting the lower front valence.
There are some other bits n pieces to
weld repair, but not all of the usual spots..... so I am told, will see! |
 |
|
This is how it looks now......so
will see how long it takes to get her back to original. A while to go I
guess.

I have seen this rally Manta on one of the web sites..... but I caught
it at the Jim Clark rally this year, great to see a Manta , too many
escorts. Also a Chevette from the Jim Clark.
