My Brother has two 'A' Series Mantas.. One of which is exactly that colour, the other has exactly those wheels!
Great cars, and far superior to drive than the Ford Crapi.. sorry.. Capri. The only reason they put such big engines in the ford was to stop the flying wing from understeering in any corner attempted at over 20mph.

Can you post up a picce of them.
My first A series was effectively my first car i brought myself and i had it for 5 years, whilst my mates had Viva's and escorts, cortinas, i had one of these which was a much better drive and to look at, engines were a bit astmatic.
Chap i knew (met via the car) had a Broadspeed Turbo conversion on one, went well.
I would love another one just finding on now.

My mum had a F reg one of these (when new)... Not many around even then
It was a great car with the exception of the very impractical white seats
Great shout! My dear mum will be made up

Mustang back celica ace as was 240Z and the original Manta (see above) - esp the 2.8 that never made it to the UK.
Also like the Opel Rekord/Commodore

I've always wanted one of these as my mum had one when I was a kid and it was fast as **** even with her driving it
(that one's ruined with that body kit though!)
There is only one s12 on Autotrader nationwide Can't believe they all died, thought Nissan's were supposed to go on for ever? Dodgy turbos/auto boxes?
