Re: 1984 Mantula FS

A mantula in the US !

Indeed - that is a nice looking car - but RHD and bearing its original UK plates. The wheels look more 15" than original 14" or 13". but a fine car. So how do you guys get on with a UK import of this age ?

One of our guys emigrated to Canada and had to leave his Mantula behind - there was just no way he could see to get it over there. I am surprised if it can be done in the US.

Is it related to the line "Titled as 1965 Marcos" - which seems odd for a 1984 car. However the body design dates back to 1963, and the Mantula is pretty close to the original shape.

And 18.000 miles - that is way less than a thousand miles a year !
