    Mantas are usually around the 300-700 mark but usually require extensive restoration.

    Good condition cars usually fetch between 1-2k but can still require work

    Mine cost a fortune, but its been garaged all its life and has literally no rust. Its arches are smoother than the Novas were when they were new! LOL!

    If your serious about buying one then be prepared to crawl right under the car to check for corrosion - 99.9% of Mantas sadly need work...

    The Manta is actually a few centimetres smaller than a Calibra each way
