    mmmm, was watching THIS MANTA ON Ebay....but it didn't reach it's reserve, at Eur960. Is it over priced ?

    That looks like a really solid Cavalier Coupe!
    ...and I like the colour!;)

    As a Manta fan, I think it would be a real pity if it was "converted" into a 400 replica (as the seller suggests) ...as there are too few original spec Mantas/Cavaliers left out there IMHO.

    It's cheap for a Cavalier Coupe in that state, I bought mine for €1600 and then went about restoring it and mine was worse, the interior better in mine though.
    I'd be in the camp for keeping all Manta's as original as possible, no 400 kit should be put on it.
    At this stage the more original the more unusual they are.

    ...no, read again - it DIDN'T sell for 960 - that's the point of my post - what is he expecting for it I wonder ?
