That car belongs to MantaA16v on here, and he's really the guy to talk to about modding them. He runs Suffolk County Mantas. I'm not totally sure of the full spec, but it's got everything you want I think!
He also was involved in the dark blue one in the bottom pic, which is running an Ecotec on throttle bodies.

1900sr - How easy / difficult is the XE or LET conversion? Is there much fabricating to do, engine mounts etc?

I'm afraid I'm not the best person to ask about how easy it is to do a conversion, as my car is standard and will stay that way (feel the 90bhp ;D ). As mentioned above Simon at Suffolk County Mantas is your man.

Autofive - looks nice. Any idea on spec? Not that I have the money yet. Think I'm gonna finish my present projects and turn my parents drive (fairly spacous) into a temporary car sales yard and get rid of the lot!

Thanks for that. Can't buy anything yet though as I have 2 cars to finish and then need to decide what to sell to raise funds and make space. At least I have a ball park figure of how much buys what now. Cheers.
Smiler.

Thanks very much, I think some time in the future I'll be giving you a call. These cars are deffinately up on my short list now.
Manta A
Dolly Sprint
Scimmitar
The order is prone to change but a ready built Manta is more likely to get the vote than the others that would end up etting modified.
Thanks again, your website is now in my favourites!
Regards,
Smiler.

Only just read these last two posts, the white one would have only upset me at not having the available funds.
They all look lurvely, I like the new mohair roof.
