RE: [MarcosManiacs] 1970 Mantis for sale - expensive!

2001-10-09 by Ronald McLeod

Yow! 2.5 million pounds! That's nearly $5 million. In that case, I'm making my Mantis available to the first Maniac mad enough to buy it, for only $1 million. And, if you pay cash ($100's, non-consecutive serial numbers), I'll deliver it to your door for no extra charge.
