XRA 721Y - Manta B 16 Valve Modified

More club cars

Owner: Steve Bamford

Hi Manta folks, after selling my white GT/E, E45 URH just a while ago, I now have acquired a much better example.

I bought XRA 721Y about a year ago. It was already resprayed in Imperial blue, had no sunroof [wow] and had the 16 valve Astra implant.

It was slightly incomplete though, the engine didn't run, it needed wiring up, exhaust system completing, adding brake lines and
fuel lines etc etc... I was very fortunate to know a guy called Rik who can do that sort of thing and at very reasonable prices too.

He has his own lockup, where his business is, on a disused airfield near Goole and its like going back to the 80's. There are Manta parts and goodies stacked everywhere, it's awesome. He knows everything to know about mantas...

He finally got my car sorted in the summer of 05' and now the beastie is on the road and running like a dream...

Soon it will be off road for winter but come spring it will be up and
running and entering a few shows...wooooo

Even though I haven't been on the Manta scene for a while a big hand goes out to Ian Martin the Yorkshire Rep who organises plenty of shows, pub meets and gives his time to the club.

   
Hope you like the pics and if anyone wants info or just to comment etc. email me on mantabamfd@hotmail.com
