General Comments:

My first car, a Manta 2.0 GT/J coupe in bright yellow (All original color and spec). A classic car which was a real head turner, had the original purple honeycomb interior, decals, stripes, twin carburettors, etc. Very good to drive, but not impressed with the dash board or air vents. V good on performance, but fuel economy could have been better (but expected from such an old car). The design of the rear seat cushion could have been better. The filling totally collapsed and it was very uncomfortable. Not to forget, not bad for a 4 speed.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Very simialr to my experiences, Great car, Excellent handling (for its time!). Dash was a bit dated, but it was definately a head turner...
