	Hi I'm intrested in getting a reto ride and the opel manta's have caught my eye. I'm just wondering if anyone's got 1 for sale and how much. I'm still a student so i cant afford stupid asking prices. If you don't have a Manta A are there any Retro Rides out there you would recommmend getting as a first car but it has to be RWD and i'm only 20 so nothing thats going to blown a hole in my pocket with fuel and insurance ;D thanks Chris

	try these sites for mantas www.siteground157.com/~mantaclu/index.php www.vxopel.com/phpbb/index.php prepare to wait for an A series though it took me a year to find mine. it's really hard to find a nice one and prices are on the rise. a later model manta would also be a nice intro to retro cars. even these are rare and parts are a bit hard to find. a capri is the other obvious candidate. thats what i had as my first car. managed to get classic insurance with lancaster when i turned 21. the prices of capris are still reasonable, they're much easier to find and parts are cheap and easily available.

	Could always look for a MK1 Cavalier, almost the same as a Manta but without the price tag. You can pick them cheap and spares are easliy availble on the net.

	Hotrodderuk had a manta A for sale on here although it's fitted with a 2l 16v so may be bit heavy on insurance for you?
	Low and slow Why can't i tune it?
