Don,
the Mantula XP2 was especially built for racing with a lot of modifications on chassis and a very wide body, The price for the car was 120.000 US Dollar. In these days a horrible price. The car was sold to Japon and from the Ebay text did never race only some track testing and was in Top condition. No idea who bought the car in the Netherlands and where the car is now.

The Mantis XP is in San Ramon, CA. Still owned by the four Morris sons. I
believe Tony Stelliga was talking to them over a year ago about purchasing
the XP. Don't know what the outcome was.
The XP2 is a Mantula I believe with mods.
Don
