A twin cam Manta engine ? Wow, must be a 400 engine, probably as rare as a Bristol 405.

That would be a Cosworth-tuned 2.4. It won't be one of them. It'll be the SOHC as Bol says.

Can you imagine buying a Bristol, popping the bonnet and seeing Vauxhall logos? Lol

someone has just posted this on the village FB page where I live:

  • Car for sale*. I have inherited a car with a house that I recently bought. It was left in the garage and has clearly not been used in years. It doesn't start and tyres are flat, but other than that seems in good condition.
Volvo 244 GLE Auto 1981. 4 door saloon. Red

If anyone's interested let me know and I'll put you in touch.

Whenever I see a CNUT with the Confederate flag on his car I wish I had a BFG.

 

Gilmer County not your place then?

 

 

They might have the bigger FGs too.

Reminds me of the Daimler V8 250 at Wymondham classic auction a year or two back which had had a Pinto dropped in.  I can still remember the collective murmur of disappointment when the bonnet was popped.

I had one of these a few years back - very similar to this, sans Webasto sadly but with the 16 valve red top engine so it went like a bat out of hell.  Lovely thing to drive, had cruise and aircon (both working because Honda).  I sold it because it had an ABS fault and I couldn't find the bits at the time to sort it.  One of the ones I regret selling - especially since they now appear to be worth over 10x what I sold mine for.
