Manta to rescue in Christchurch
Posted: 05 Sep 2014, 22:48
While I was in Chch today, I also looked up an old chap who has a Manta hatchback that needs rescuing from his backyard
The car is under a carport, so not in direct weather, but has not moved since '92 apparently so is a bit of a mess! Still has rego on hold, but this car won't be back on the road judging from the bodywork. Apparently the engine is started occasionally, and runs strongly - but I didn't hear it myself so can't comment on that claim. The interior looked fairly clean, and seating too, with just the start of a speckling on the steering wheel. Not sure if that will show on the photos on my phone. Essentially the car has to go, or his son is going to drag it to the breakers for whatever he can get. Contact me for details.
Strangely enough, it's actually the car that was bought at the same time as the white one currently for sale on here. The owners were partners in a business and bought a Manta each at the same time.
