Re: 1984 Mantula FS

2009-08-01 by ukcadsev

Hee, that was me that emigrated and had to leave my Mantula behind :(

There's a sticker on the lower left of the windshield of this one that looks remarkably similar to a Nova Scotian MVI (MOT) sticker - do other states use a similar system? If so, that would indicate that it has at least passed US/Canadian inspection....

Unfortunately can't rustle up that much cash at the moment, otherwise........
