They'll tell you!
All you do then is write back about how insulted you are at their offer as you took ages to find one in great condition and in your mind you probably won't find another. They should come back with a higher price.

If they don't offer you a decent price, you don't even need to get it scrapped. A car like a Manta GTE would sell for a lot as a spares car to someone building a rally car (those XE engines are in big demand for Chevettes and mk2 Escorts being made into rally cars) or just selling all the salvageable parts. I know youre all thinking it wont sell, but I had someone offer me a triple figure sum for a crash damaged, bare Hillman Imp shell that needed welding and had absolutely everything removed from it (its the one that used to be a rally car, but the parts are going to the tidy, but standard Imp shell I'm making into a rally car.) Now if people would buy the skeleton of an Imp, they would buy a damaged top-spec Manta. Or am I just talking rubbish again?

well the plan is to buy it back and either sell it how it is or break it but i would like to know how much i will get 4 it so i can start shopping round.
i have been offered a convert mini just needing a new roof and a respray for nothing so thats an option but i still want a kadett.

Saw it on mersea island last week. If you want to get rid or it, let me know, i have a black A series fitted with a 16V motor but its not that practical. I could do with a runabout. I only live in Bury.

Bloody E-bay! now I want that one too! As well as the 1963 Hillman Imp rally car on it, a Volvo 960 3-litre with electric everything and leather and air-con (well I like them ) and just about every other old car/lorry I've come across on e-bay!!! |
