Sold up and moved on!!!!

[Martin]

Made a few decisions in the last few weeks and after selling my Red RS I decided it was also time to let the Green RS car go to a new home

Have bought an Old Skool car but not a Ford

Here's a pic on the way back from picking it up

1974 - Opel Manta 1.9S Berlinetta

Not to everyone's taste, but I had one when I was a boy and I still like them. Also this car came with a spare Brand New in the crate engine and gearbox and enough parts to build another car for less than £2600 !!

There is a Broadspeed replica for sale for £16k at the minute, but an original is rarer than an RS1800 and more expensive


Thanks for the comments lads, I really love the shape of the car and it's rear wheel drive Previous owner has had her for over 20 years so it has been looked after well

Do like your new purchase, but shame your not keeping your green RS as well - was looking forward to seeing the green ones together next year

Cheers

Here's a few more pics for the non-believers who thought this was a wind up Note the fixed seat belts (No inertia reels were fitted to MK1 Manta's)
