Anyone want a Manta

Carl Gibbs waffled thus:

Shame it's not the coupe :(

tempting :)

especially after the intriguing battle of wills between me and french electrics lately :)

how much you looking at for the old skool beast? want a bluebird turbo? hehe

106 Rallye?

(the one on the drive that's had a really hard rear end, and which we've removed the engine from). :-P

That'd do too

Yeah I'll take it with a £650 cash as well from your good self :)

I wanna at least get my money back on what I paid (£550), but would be nice to get a bit more for the years MoT, tax and work I've done on it in the last few months!

MoT the Bluebird and I might consider some sort of swap :)

No chance! :)

I need a relatively standard car for insurance purposes.

I forgot to mention there would have to be cash from your direction as well.

Be quick though, as I'm planning on having that taken away by the scrappie later this week.

MOT? His Bluebird? Bwahahahahahahaha :-D

if the punto goes sometime soon i may be tempted :)

mmm i smell a let conversion coming on :)

Not in my car (unless you replace the whole running gear) as it's a 2.0l. You'll be wanting the 2.4 lump from a Frontera as a starting point for a worthwhile conversion. Or a v8 of course :)

*cough* V8 ;)

Thought it was worth a try as it was free.

I'd be tempted if you weren't so far away.

My old heaps now up on ebay

It was replaced with the following

2.3 turbo and rear wheel drive, not bad for £200. It even looks quite tidy now its had a wash. Just needs some decent tyres on the front and a couple of new hoses. I was going to list it to see if I could double my money but I've had too much fun driving round roundabouts today.

Yes. I really want that manta. But I've got my sensible shoes on and they're staying on if I'm going RTW anytime soon!

Can you wait till I get back and sell it to me then?!?

Heh, when you back? And what's RTW? If it doesn't sell on ebay (there's a highish reserve, I'm not letting go cheap as I'm not overly fussed about selling it), then I'll probably keep it a while longer.

Round the world.
