This car was built on my drive over a period of 8 years and on a limited budget. Second build is 75% complete, this is my original coupe which will have a supercharged 4.6 V8, then I have 2 litre hatch this was a barn find, it hadn’t moved in 14 yrs squirrels had stored acorns in every possible nook and cranny ! This I now use as a daily driver, and finally the Manta coupe you see here, there’s just something about these cars that do it for me!
The first build is 90% complete - a 2 litre redtop supercharged 400 replica, which is ready for paint.
I only drive Opel Manta and I currently have four Mantas, two of which are project cars and the other two I use on a regular basis. I bought my first Opel Manta back in 1989 when I was 25 years old, I saw it on a garage forecourt for 8K with one previous owner who had it for three years, and I just fell in love with the car and to this day 31 years later, I still own it although it’s undergoing a rebuild. I love retro cars, I still have all the Hot Rod & custom car magazines which I bought in my teens, I’m not sure whether it was the half-naked girls draped over the cars or the cars themselves which got me hooked! My first car was a Ford Cortina mk2, I bought this when I was 17 and had the interior kitted out in orange fur and the leaf springs jacked up and with fitted fog lights under the rear arches we didn’t have LED’s in them days and with a cherry bomb exhaust !!! My Instagram is: work as a Customer Advisor at a D.I.Y. Join the Facebook group below, show us your cars, this helps us find more HOT cars, Thanks.
