Default Manta

Last summer, i went to south of France with my brother-in-law to pick up a 72 Manta A for him.
Clean little car, no rust, 1100cc with Weber carb, koni shocks, ATS wheels, we made the 600 miles trip back home without any problems. Here in Europe these cars were very popular in Rally Races back in the days and are still in historic rallies.

My Dad bought one new back in '72. I passed my drivers test in it. That car made it easy.
