Quite a few on here have seen it. Been to several gatherings too.
-1976 opel manta coupe S
-automatic 3 speed
-62k on the clock
-MOT feb 22nd 2017
-lowered 50-60mm (have original springs that go with the car)
-15" alloys, rota zero, loads of tread on tyres
Good bits
i have ownded PYC for several years now, i can honestly say it has never missed a beat, passed MOT first time every time. It starts well from sitting a few weeks. Autochoke still works!
a good useable classic, even a daily.
drives nice.
Cleans up well and always gets looks of admiration whereever i go in her
has new front bumper fitted and rear is good condition
had nos chrome drivers handle fitted
seats are sun faded but in good condition
bad bits
she is need of some work.
As can be seen the roof is bubbling (i have a good non sunroof skin that can go with the car).
small patch bottom of rear arch
engine bay needs welding above servo
small hole behind slam panel
The axle has always had a whine fromwhen I bought her fromdave never bothered me and never got any worse
could do with some new front discs and pads imo
original headlights got cracked (i do have metal surrounds still and one good lense), haslater style headlights fitted
door cards need refurbishing, started on one but never finished (have some original wood trim for it i think)
some pics of all bad areas mentioned and the car overall. Have been very honest about condition as I don't want to decieve anyone.
as for price, looking at what coupes have gone for lately I'm after in the region of £2500
