1968 Mantis XP Restoration Update

1968 Mantis XP Restoration Update

2008-06-03 by christopherbmorris

Hi All!

Ned is essentially done with the restoration of the 1968 Mantis XP.  
Some fine tuning is all that is left to do.  Check out pictures of the 
car's unveiling at the 2008 Chico All British Car Meet on Dave McGill's 
site.

Absolutely terrific, guys! She looks superb. Quality work and attention to detail.

Are you taking her to Monterey Historics in August to show? Would definitely garner interest. :-)

Please send/post more photos -- it's a very interesting car technically and deserves a solid write-up in Classic & Thoroughbred Cars, Octane, or similar magazine, I think.

Again, very well done indeed.

Best Regards,
Andy
